If it means anything ... it's cold and rainy in Nashville this morning ... but all my daffodils and miniature irises are wearing their new spring wardrobes http://www.click-smilies.de/sammlung0903/grinser/grinning-smiley-030.gif

[SweetpeaAeryn]

Yay for flowers!!!! :)

We had flowers blooming last week....

I wore sandles yesterday....

But you know what we say in IL, "If you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes... it'll change."

Although... it's still snowing....

[Digger]

We're expecting anywhere from 5-10 inches of snow in New England the next few days.

[SweetpeaAeryn]

WOW!

[trinamick]

I went to bed Sunday night to beautiful weather - woke up Monday morning to 3 in of snow. It's still snowing!

[vikingscaper]

:rollin:

It's bright and sunny here in Wisconsin!! You just gotta love March weather!!

[scrape_medic]

ahh, spring arrived in London today, been sitting in me mums garden with the cats and the daffodils and the hyacinths and the .... okay I'll stop there cos it is not going to last anyway....:(

But it is nice whilst it is here.:)

[VBKatLou]

Yesterday was sunny and in the 50s. Right now, 6 inches of snow with more to come this afternoon. Hope the daffadils make it. I love the midwest.

[SweetpeaAeryn]

:lol

I'll second that! :)

[BrowderChick]

Well you made me go to my door to look and ...YEP... It's snowing here now. :g2f:

I don't want anymore snow.

FREE SNOW to who ever wants it! :D:D

Could have been worse:

You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.

She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.

But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine, (shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.

You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.

But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.

When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.

The forecast for Columbus was 1 - 3 inches overnight with 3 -5 today. When I got up at 6:40 am there were 4 inches on my deck. My yard had 4.5 to 7 inches, and I had to scrape 7 inches of heavy wet snow off my car before I could go to work. Took 30 minutes to dig my car out.

I'm a weather weanie, so I took my ruler out and measured all those numbers.

edited to add: I'll have to wait till tomorrow or the next day to find the newspaper in the driveway.

[AyuRocks]

Snow here in the Detroit parts as well. ::sigh:: I'd trade this for the 65 MPH wind we've been having lately...

[Kurt_eh]

Yep, it's days like this when I love living in Canada. Barely a snowflake on the ground! :D :lol

[BaseLine]

Sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy. About 10 degrees celsius. But that can change in an instant :).

[Kurt_eh]

You live in Calgary? :D

[fermicat]

Your snow is HEADING RIGHT FOR US!!! Actually, it is already here and coming down pretty fast right now.

[recklesshumor]

Whatever happened to Global Warming?

[Alexxia]

It's a beautiful day here! I went down to the campus lake for a while, and one of my classes was outside. :D

Not to rub it in or anything.:P

[NYPinTA]

Global Warming makes the polar caps melt which puts more liquid in the air which then falls on the North East in March just when we have had ENOUGH FRELLING SNOW.

But thats just a theory. :D

Stupid Ground Hog. It's all his fault. :grr: Him and those tooting cows. Get them some damn Beano. (sp)

[Alexxia]

:spew:

[Kurt_eh]

:rollin:

And the true cause of global warming IS pollution. Great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great ... great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather Ugg's MUV (mammoth utility vehicle) polluted the air and made the glaciers start to melt. Thus ending the ice ages! :D

[Digger]

Ah, yes. Ugg the Great. He was the one who stole fire from Oooga the Mad , wasn't he?

[tribsaint]

This is just another reason why I'm glad I only have five more months in this dumpy state.

Yeah, five inches of snow on the freeway at rush hour when I get off my internship? That's not cool at all. Not one bit. You're looking at a really grumpy tribby right now. :mad:

[Mazinger]

Calling it "snow" gives it more power. I prefer to call it "stuff". Oh, I have about 6 inches of "stuff" on the ground. :(

[BrowderChick]

Yeah well take all this "stuff" away. I just watched the news and there is more yet to come for the end of the week.

vs? You laughing at me? I do believe I will dump all this "stuff" on your lawn. :D:D

[haesan]

I hate snow. Snow blowers.

[Jul]

So, I guess I shouldn't mention the fact that it was over 80 degrees in Los Angeles and Orange County today??? :flee:

[BrowderChick]

I'm dumping snow on your lawn

Of course it will melt before it gets there. :D:D

[StarsGoBlue]

So, I guess I shouldn't mention the fact that it was over 80 degrees in Los Angeles and Orange County today???

...and up by me too! :innocent:

Oh I wish I had that!!! (Well.. maybe not 80... but at least sandle and no jacket weather.)

This whole topic reminded me of the following story I read called Living in Canada:


DEAR DIARY

Aug. 12 - Moved to our new home in Canada. I am so excited. It's so
beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see
them with snow covering them.

Oct. 14 - Canada. It is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves
have
turned all colours and shades of red and orange. Went for a ride through
the beautiful countryside and saw some deer. They are so graceful.
Certainly they are the most wonderful animals on earth. This must be
paradise. I love it here.

Nov. 11 - Remembrance Day. Deer season starts soon. I can't imagine
anyone wanting to kill such a gorgeous creature. Hope it snows soon. I
love it here.

Dec. 2 - It snowed last night. Woke up to find everything blanketed with
white. It looks like a postcard. We went outside and cleaned the snow
off
the steps and shoveled the driveway. We had a snowball fight (I won). When
the snow plough came by we had to shovel the driveway again. What a
beautiful place. I love Canada.

Dec. 12 - More snow last night. The snow plough did his trick again to
the
driveway. I love it here.

Dec. 19 - More snow last night. Couldn't get out of the driveway to get
to
work. It's beautiful here but I'm exhausted from shoveling. Fucking snow
plough.

Dec. 22 - More of that white shit fell last night. I've got blisters on
my
hands and a sore back from shoveling. I think the snow plough hides
around
the corner until I'm done shoveling the driveway. Asshole.

Dec. 25 - Merry Fucking Christmas! More frigging snow. If I ever get my
hands on the son-of-a-bitch who drives the snow plough, I swear I'll kill
the bastard. Don't know why they don't use more salt on the roads to melt
the fucking ice.

Dec. 27 - More white shit last night. Been inside for three days now
except for shoveling out the driveway after that snow plough goes through
every time. Can't go anywhere, the car's stuck in a mountain of white
shit
and it's so frigging cold. The weatherman says to expect another 10
inches
of the shit again tonight. Do you know how many shovels full of snow 10
inches is?

Dec. 28 - That fucking weatherman was wrong. We got 34 inches of the shit
this time. At this rate it won't melt before summer. The snow plough got
stuck up in the road and that bastard came to my door and asked to borrow
my shovel. After I told him that I had already broken six shovels
shoveling out all the shit he had pushed into my driveway, I damn near
broke my last one over his fucking head.

Jan. 4 - Finally got out of the house today. Went to the store to get
food
and on my way back a damned deer ran in front of the car. Did about $3,000
damage to the car. Those fucking beasts should be killed. The bastards
are everywhere. Wish the hunters had exterminated them all last November.

May 3 - Took the car to the garage in town. Would you believe the thing
is
rusted out from all that fucking salt they put all over the roads.

May 10 - Moved to Florida. I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind
would ever want to live in such a God forsaken place as Canada.

[SweetpeaAeryn]

:lol

Baseline,

That thing about Canada cracked me up! Growing up in Montreal, I know all about horrible winters, but I didn't realize how bad the winters were until I went away to university in London, Ontario. One February, I took a friend back with me to Montreal for a visit. After a day or two, she turned to me and said, "Why did you bring me here? I didn't know cold like this was possible."

I thought that was a Michigan saying...

Oh well, we got about 3 inches here in Detroit.

[fermicat]

Yeah, only about 4" in central Massachusetts. Pain in the butt this morning to shovel, but not a disaster.

[trinamick]

Between yesterday afternoon and today, all our snow is melted! :woohoo: I had my air conditioning on in my car! Yippee!

[Clarsax]

We got dumped with five inches and its still coming. But hopefully this will be the last serious snowfall of the year.

[SweetpeaAeryn]

My snow is now all melted... but it's still cold... and they're still calling for more snow....

I just want spring... but not summer... that's too hot.... just spring

[generic_screenname]

It's snowing right now. Again. :pace:

[SweetpeaAeryn]

Well here's some :sun: in hopes that it will help melt it!!! :)

My place from the looks of it.

[Mazinger]

A customer fell ouside my work today cause of the snow. He had trouble getting up. It reminded me of the kid in Christmas Story.

[bouyantman]

ah!...nice and sunny,and almost 80 here today :D

[BrowderChick]

Well more of that "stuff" came down again today. :g2f: Am I mistaken or is Spring supposed to be this weeked?
