How's The Weather By You?

Just drizzly. We were supposed to get rain but ended up as just spit from above. Ya know, California is actually a desert. The redwoods along the coast get their moisture mainly from the fog. Gonna be a water rationing summer for sure, this year. Seems we either get washed away one winter or dry up the next.

There are some overhead waves rollin' in, though. Yea!
 

Ozarkgirl.... Please read this article I found...

Earlier this month, Ohio prosecutor Michael Gmoser created a stir when he filed charges against Punxsutawney Phil for predicting an early spring, which hasn't exactly panned out.
Parts of Canada and the U.S. ushered in the season with snow, freezing rain and icy conditions, and portions of Europe were nearly brought to a standstill when a snowstorm moved across the region.
This isn't the first year Phil dropped the ball, and Gmoser said he wanted the groundhog to pay.
"Punxsutawney Phil did purposely, and with prior calculation and design, cause people to believe that Spring would come early," the indictment reads.
Now, Phil's handler, Bill Deeley, is taking the blame.
Deeley told The Associated Press the groundhog had predicted 6 more weeks of winter, but he mis-interpreted Phil's “groundhog-ese” and made the call for an early spring.
In light of the new evidence, Gmoser had
 
Perfect springtime weather today, in the upper 60s. Drought conditions by me, there'll be a 2 day restriction on lawn watering, and only for certain hours. Luckily we were smart years ago, and rocked in the front lawn...mostly due to difficult mowing because of the pine/spruce trees we planted when we bought the house. Our back yard has some trees, but not much green lawn left, so we're not too bothered by the restrictions.

Hoping Mother Nature will give us a helping hand with nourishing all the local trees, plants and grasses. Other than the water, all is good, wish we could have the cooler spring weather all summer long. :p
 

We had about 10 cms of snow yesterday with another 15 cms coming on Saturday..
As I write this post, it is -18c outside...
-18c is just about -1 farenheit.....

They are forcasting spring sometime in mid June.................. MAYBE !!!!!!
 
Kinda grey here today with some rain on the way. Calling for flurries on Saturday. This is the longest winter EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

SeaBreeze....Beautiful day here also, light occasional breeze, and finally SUNNY! :cool: I am repainting a cast iron patio set and I made some good progress on it today...Spring always brings out the painter in me.....Got to hang the laundry out today, love the smell of those mountain air dried clothes..they can't put that in a dryer sheet!

The cookout was great...a few Miller Lights, turkey sausage, barbequed beans and cole slaw...talked to my brother who is in Washington...rainy and cold there...I had to rub it into him about the nice weather, shoulda listened to his big sis and stayed here.

Come Sunday, looks like we are in for some more rain and cooler temps...but going to make the most of tomorrow, 75 and sunny again...Yahoooo
 
Ozarkgirl.................... and everyone !!!!!!!!!

It is normal for us to get snow up to and including the beginning of May.. Please take a moment and look where we live.. On top of Lake Huron.. MASSEY .....

As I write this post it is -16c outside and they are calling for a snow storm tonight of up to 25 cms (10 inches) with winds around the 70 kms mark.. Temp will warm up to -10c ...
We just finished a 12 cms (5 inches) storm yesterday..

NOW, is that SPRING ??? Actually it is up here.. The lawns are still covered with the white stuff (about a good foot) and the lakes are still frozen solid.. They are still ice fishing..

This winter is probably a normal one while we have been having easy ones the past several years and we are spoiled.. We want an early spring with warm temps, but not this year..

They are predicting a year from hell with those black flies and mosquitoes..
So far, the good thing about this weather is,,,, there are NO bugs out there............


PS..... What am I doing up at this hour ???
 
After several days with a cold wind blowin' we finally got some sunshine and warm temps yesterday. I had to quit fishin' and catch up on yard and garden work.
"sposed to be nice today and tomorrow too. The more rain coming but still warm. The weatherguessers are predicting strong storms for Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Me too Steve. I just woke up and couldn't go back to sleep so I put the coffee on and here I am.
 
............... BULLETIN ..............

That groundhog that predicted an early spring has disappeared.. He was last seen somewhere in South America and is believed to be living underground..
He has burrowed a tunnel into Chile and won't come out !!!!!!!

Just in case you were wondering where he is to retaliate for the bad forecast....
 
No groundhogs, but I've got gophers peeking their head outta the ground. Does that count? I wacked one with a shovel and the cat got another. Sorry if that made your Spring unsprung . . .
 
As I write this post, it is snowing like the dickens.. So far, we have received about one foot (30 cms) of the white stuff.. Much more to come before this storm is over..
 
Glad to hear you're getting plenty of snow Steve. :) Hope you, your wife and your puppy dog are staying warm and cozy inside. Please be careful walking and driving out there. :love_heart:
 
Thanks..
We have NO intentions of leaving the house till Monday and even then..
We are safe and very warm................. All 3 of us.. My Princess, My pooch and I.....
 
YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS .................

Just a few hours ago it was snowing like the dickens.. We received over a foot of snow but I don't know what the temperature was.. I didn't look.. The outside thermometer is in the carport and the puter is upstairs in our den......

Now it is +4c and it is RAINING ............. Go figure !!!!!!!!!!!
 
When Uncle Sam noticed I was still alive and sorta well, he sent me home. Well, I had been writing to a young woman from Madison, Wisconsin, so I drove up there to see her. In JANUARY! Whew, now that was winter. But, my point is . . . (what was my point???) Oh, yeah . . . I would take a walk in the woods and around the lakes almost every day and so enjoyed watching winter turn to spring to summer. Beautiful!
 
Oh Seve..you are really running the weather gamut the last few days, what's next? Sunshine I hope and spring to follow soon! You're bound to have cabin fever by the time this is over.

Glad Uncle Sam sent you home, still kickin'. :) Watching the change of seasons is awesome, I love each one for different reasons. :coolthumb:
 
I stayed up all night working. At around daybreak the sun came up.

It stayed around pretty much all day, then disappeared somewhere around sunset.

Amazing how that works, isn't it?

Strange little system blew through last night. Mist turned to drizzle to full on showers. Windy, too. This morning is crystal clear but still windy and you know what that means . . . Lots and lots of pollen to entertain our eyes, ears, nose and throat... AAAHHH---CHOOOOO!!!
 
Super windy outside, raining a bit, and snow to come. Supposed to drop to 17 degrees tonight, and today was upper 60s. Gotta get out the snow shovel I just put away in the garage. :)
