Re: Its Back!!

I have been to Nova Scotia, boy what a time we had, did some bear hunting with long bows, and it was actually snowing in September that year, of course they told me it was quite unusual!

Snow in September? I would hang myself. That must have been a very unusual year. We normally don't get a lot of snow but this year has been a roller coaster ride of weather fronts.

Re: Its Back!!

I saw a robin in February and thought, nice, spring is on the way. Here in the Atlantic Canada region, seeing a robin means they are migrating back to the north from the south. But then I was told by an elderly woman that it probably was a winter robin which nests here all year around. It really brought me down but she was right. I'm ready to wave the white flag.

In Southern Ontario we don't look for the first robin any more. We consider the first sighting of a Harley Davidson to be more reliable.

I consider it spring when it is +5 and I am standing on my front lawn in 2 ft of slushy snow. And the wind is blowing the dust off the road from all the winters sanding in my face, and I see a rain shower on the horizon coming my way!

Re: Its Back!!

Sorry,gentleman, that is the most pathetic version of 'spring' that I've heard yet. :sorry:

I'm ready for warm weather...

Re: Its Back!!

About the same here... we got some sleet followed by an inch of snow. It's blowing hard outside...

Re: Its Back!!

......spring is only 'tickling' this area. We have no snow, which is not unusual in the northwest... and are temps are now hitting in the 10-15?c (50?f) range. When the sun is out is beautiful but when that rain sets in again....its a complete drag.
That said, I was able to work outside yesterday doing some digging and some fun mechanical stuff (car/motor hobby stuff) and was able to get in a nice 3-4 hrs...until the rains came..LOL.
The garden is starting to hit...lots of blossoms and buds out all over the place.

That would call for an Irish Jig, along with a pint.
Happy St. Patrick's day by the way.

You maybe should change your definition of Spring.

Re: Its Back!!

I'm throwing in the towel for a couple weeks. Heading to Arizona for some sun and let the last of the snow melt and hopefully the mud will dry out a bit. Might even catch a couple spring training games between cocktails under the palm trees!
Nothing left to work on boat wise.....I'm splashing the minute I get back. Hang in there snow folks.

Just need to move south a little ways. We're supposed to get up to an inch tonight but probably less.

 

[roscoe]

Re: Its Back!!

So far today only an inch or so.

Tonight and tomorrow, 4-7 more.

Glad I'm not up by you WIMUSKY.
