Looks like that here in VA now!

I was up in Upstate NY in January and it was a sight to behold. Reminded me of my time in North Dakota. I had to love ice-fishing or I went crazy.

90s yesterday, mid 80s today.

"Cold" is done for the year.

The down side is coming. ~100+ for the next 7 months.

Virginia Beach has been missing all the bad weather. Might be moving back to NJ at the end of the summer. The weather will be one of the bummer. Most of my VW stuff is in NJ, so my hobby life will be back.

We had a few days of really nice weather here. 50's, sunny, warm. There is snow on the ground this morning. I just laugh.

It hit 85 here in central Kansas last friday... Now they are calling for a heavy snow this weekend. Just as I was working on getting my garden started, go figure Rolling Eyes

Just 6" here at the beach. I think it has pretty much pooped out. No big deal (after all this is Maine and this is still winter). The snow blower made short work of it....

I think I saw a mosquito though, so spring cannot be far away....

15 cm of snow today. Not expected to be anywhere near zero Celsius for at least 2 more weeks... the joys of living at the same latitude as Moscow Smile

BUT, Edmonton is one of the sunniest cities in Canada! So, yeah, that's good for something... snowblindness?

We've had storm almost once a week for 2 months. Over 2' of snow on the ground now. Spring? That might roll around in June if we're lucky Rolling Eyes

Worcester, MA (Where I work) is currently the snowiest city in the country:

Not counted because it's a small town, but Houghton, MI had 30' of snow my sophmore year. This looks to be an average year, about 20'.

I think it's dusted us with an inch a day for the last 2 weeks straight. So much for spring. And IF I ever see that damn ground hog, I'll shoot the freeking thing.
It's just been cold and white here.

No joke! I've cleaned up snow / ice three times this week !

They are forecasting a "winter event" for Sunday Night!

I LOVE Winter but Enough! Bring me Spring!
