How's The Weather By You?

It's another lovely day in the neighborhood! 74 yesterday with sunshine and ditto today. It's a far cry from our miserable drive from the UP to Atlanta last Sunday. That trip made me REALLY appreciate living in the South, even if our winter here was awful by our southern standards.
 
Spring has sprung!
done a little in the garden and then sat, reading a book! Topped up my Vitamin D levels.....happy bunny!
 
It has been very warm here today, shorts and T shirts type weather. Some kids were even wearing their swim wear! It has cooled off a bit this evening, and is supposed to be much cooler tomorrow but that is British weather for you. In the UK the weather is usually the first topic of conversation when you meet anyone, because we really do get weather here! :D
 
So March came in not like a lamb nor like a lion so guess it will be going out like a light . . .

Rain was forecast today but now delayed until tomorrow. Although the sun has yet to arrive at its vernal equinox, we are enjoying springtime. Wildflowers I scattered are slowly showing tiny green sprouts . . . unless those are more damned weeds...
 
It was close to 50 and extremely windy here yesterday. My son was up visiting from Georgia and took me out to dinner, then suggested a walk in the park. Of course, stupid me goes without a coat.

Now I've got the sniffles. Probably not a cold - just from all the stuff blowing on me. Never too old to be a jerk.

I ignored one of the oldest pieces of Chinese wisdom - "Dress for the season, not for the day". :(
 
Storms coming onshore in April as per the last few years. But, then, I remember unstable weather this time of year even as a kid. Lightning hit some redwoods that exploded and damaged homes along The Peninsula and in Berkeley. Lines down on The Old Road through the mountains last night. Taking my 4x4 today just incase there's stuff to drive through. Hail and ice closed one mountain road this morning and a couple of F0 tornados damaged a couple of buildings up North. Darn, was going to pull the truck around from where it's parked next to the shed out back so it would be closer to the house when I leave . . . just incase the rain starts. Saw the dark stuff coming off the water and didn't. DUH. Now, it's raining so I could run out and move it now or just dash out back when it's time to leave. Hmmmm, in either case I'll be getting wet. March came in like a lamb is is going out like a light . . .
 
Been checking NOAA radar and there's a box around some heavy stuff hitting smack-dab along Big Sur. Most beautiful and treacherous coastline...
 
We had the first sighting of that yellow, ball in the sky today, after days of rain:) Now it is overcast again. Can't remember stranger weather in all the years I have lived in the area.
 
Blue sky with cloudy patches after the front passed. Still rather cool. A little more unstable stuff predicted and then warm and sunny. Must be Spring! You know what they say . . . April showers bring May weeds.
 
We had one last blast of snow a few days ago, but it's finally warmed up, and maybe spring is actually here to stay! Our famous cherry blossoms have been delayed this year.
 
Ol' Man Winter still hangin' around by me. Been super windy for the last week or so, and now today was cloudy and around 40 F degrees. Now temps are dropping into the 20s and it's raining. Rain to turn to snow and continue through morning...those heavy wet spring snows that make the trees sag and branches break...also take down power lines sometimes. But we need the moisture, so I'm happy to see rain or snow.
 
It is mild, but overcast and drizzling at present.

Air pollution is making the news in the UK at present. Sand from the Sahara whipped up by fierce winds has headed our way and combined with our own pollution to make it very unpleasant in the south of the UK, in particular. People with lung conditions have been warned to stay indoors, if possible, until it passes in the next day or so.
 
It's been nice and warm by me, but tonight the temps are dropping and they predict several inches of snow. I like to get either snow or rain, because we always need the moisture, these past years have been very dry, brown grasses and wildfires. Winds are kicking up now, but no snow/rain yet.
 
It's been an epic April in Daytona Beach. Sunny, low humidity, highs mostly in upper 70s....perfect.
