HMmm. a lovely 82.4 F sounds real good right now as I watch another couple inches of frozen white stuff stacking up outside.... I just keep saying to myself, it won't be long now.. It won't be long now........ sigh...

Mike, it'll probably be still & clear by 6pm.




Still snowin' & clear up to your backside!!

It looks like it's turning to rain so I just got in from throwing it on top of the pile.
I know we're getting "our share" when I can't use the plow anymore... only the thrower from now on as it has to get piled higher and higher..

I think you are getting everyone elses share too.. It's crazy.. You guys will be wanting a long warm summer,,about twice as long,after this winter..

Actually broke a sweat loading the 3 winder to go to the trim shop,, first time since November.
3 pm and it 78 in the shade.
I think spring has sprung here.

78 I haven't even seen 50. we were 41 today started the big melt but Friday we start all over with 20s so all the water out there will soon be ICE.

We're in a big warmup here, strong south winds bringing warmth up from the Gulf of Mexico & Texas. Very low 60's this afternoon, upper 50's as the sun has set. The Farmer's Almanac says we'll see strong snows in March.....

OOOOOoooo... Open the eastern gate Roger.... send me some of that warmth!!! LOL..

New Bedford is supposed to be above freezing for at least the next 10 days...I'll trade ya.

And I'll take it! C'mon Roger, kick open that gate!

So we got a lil bit of wet heavy stuff today. Not bad....then...
The sun went down & the brreze picked up. The road to work was pure ice.
So I was coming home ssllooowly... About 1/2 mile down the road was a cop with cherries on, in the other lane...this is a decent hill...
There was what at 1 time a very nice SUV... on its roof in the ditch!!
So 25-30mph was ok & controllable. Another 1/2 mile down were the rescue squad coming in to help. 3 ambulances, a fire truck & 3 more state & county cops.
Moral--
4 wheel drive doesnt necessarily mean no problems!!
Ya still gotta be smart to be safe!!

The drive in @ 3:00am will be sslllooow but safe-- thats why I will leave an hour before I normally do!!
Be safe folks!! ;-)

Just when the locals were kabitchin about drought, and Gobberner Jerry Brown was talking about no water for farmers or people, we get .5 inches of rain in 2 hours! Politicians!

At 1 PM yesterday the temp was 63 degrees, this morning we have a combination of snow, sleet, and rain all over everything! Got to be Mother Nature's idea of a really sick April Fools Joke!!!!-----and I was just getting in the mood for some yard work----------NOT!!!!!!!!!

My first job under the heading of "yard work" will be cleaning up after the dogs now that the snow is gone.. but after the flood rains we just had, most of it washed away! YIPPEE!!!
