Well, last week I was in San Francisco, 70's during the day! Then this week back in Massachusetts, 30's and 40's, Yuck.
Next week I'm in Florida, 70 & 80's they tell me, no wonder I have a head cold and can't shake it!!
You can't shake your head????? I thought you were retired?
We awoke to about nine inches of new snow this morning, but with the gusting winds it's less in places, but much more in others:(

The Jeep will get us out and about if we have to get somewhere, but it's a MESS out there!!:LOL: Happy Spring!!:HMMM::HMMM::confused::rolleyes:
Man, that is really ugly!!! Nothing like that here, just cold still.. Went over to Craig's yesterday and helped him on his pickup but other then that I haven't been going anywhere, just working in the garage until it warms up! I just don't do well in this cold and snow crap anymore, doesn't really seem that long ago that 9" of snow on a Sunday morning and I'd have been on the snowmobile and gone playin' for the day!!!!
This is what it looked like here in the woods when some of us took a hike on Friday after the 10-12 inches we had Tuesday. Some melted yesterday, but not much at 33-34*F:
DaveW, you have some energetic and dedicated Beaver's there. Those are some BIG trees, and girdled will be dead next year.
Roger Here's another soon to be dead tree, even larger along with where they have been sliding into and out of the creek - it's right next to (25') a very busy road in town:

Light snow now, couple inches by morning, rain ice// snow mix tonight, rain ice// snow mix tomorrow, total around 3 inches. Supposed to dwindle to nothing by Tuesday noonish.
Nothing compared to Ks, Mo, & you folks East of Indiana all the way to DC & Pa!!
I agree-- one day we'll suddenly be in the 90s with 80% humidity!!
Today's safety tip:
Don't hit a pinata that has hornets flying out of it....
Looks like that latest storm will miss us - all but with a little rain. I hope so!! The beginnings of the kitchen rehab is being delivered tomorrow - our new $amsung reefer (when did a fridge get THAT expensive - OMG!!!).
Dave,
When they added computers and such:eek:;) and made them the center of family entertainment.:LOL:

Well, central Virginia caught the bottom edge of the storm but only 1" yesterday and another 2" this morning. However, by 9 AM the roads were clear and by noon a lot of the snow was already gone. I should have taken some pictures of blooming trees in the snow. I wonder how the apple trees were effected in the Shenandoah Valley? I spent most of the day watching my 700R4 being rebuilt. I evidently allowed rust to form inside sitting without fluid for several years! I had a great low gear and I could run in second but 3rd and 4th were absent. "Mr. Transmission" assured me the parts cost will be low since only the 3rd and 4th clutches need to be replaced but that shop took apart about half of the car underneath, stuff I assembled over several years taken apart in less than a day so I am bracing myself for the labor cost! Monster transmissions ran the trans before shipping but they are not allowed to ship it with fluid in it. I bought it in 2005, installed it in the frame in 2006 but did not add trans fluid till 2008 and the engine was not run until 2012 so it's going to be an expensive education. I watched the trans tear down and will watch again for the rebuild but I have to say that there is no way I could have done that myself. No wonder there are specialty transmission shops! I guess most of the folks here know to keep an auto trans "wet with fluid" but nobody told me. The last time I changed a transmission was on a '31 Model A and then again on a 1947 Ford three speed so the world of automatic transmissions means work to farm out for me. I am past the point of no return if I want a running car so it has to be fixed! Even so it was a good day to stay in the transmission shop while the snow melted outside!
