Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Sorcha Date: 16 Mar 07 - 03:03 PM Wyoming too, Bobert. Warmest winter on record world wide. Global warming is a myth. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Jeanie Date: 16 Mar 07 - 03:22 PM Same thing about to happen over here in East Anglia (Eastern UK) according to the weather forecast tonight. We've had lovely warm weather here, but snow due to arrive here on Monday/Tues/Wednesday. - jeanie |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: RangerSteve Date: 16 Mar 07 - 03:29 PM Same in New Jersey, high 60's yesterday, today is snow, rain, snow, rain, just a plain miserable day. On the plus side, being house-bound, I baked some biscuits, an Irish soda bread and a meat loaf, so it's not a totally wasted day. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: GUEST, Ebbie Date: 16 Mar 07 - 04:22 PM More to the point, in Juneau Alaska we haven't had any rain. Only snow. Keep in mind that we are in a rain forest. Not always the same amount- but we have had snow on the ground continuously since November 2, 2006. Today and overnight we are in a heavy snow warning- adding another foot or more of snow to the billows we already have. Tuesday is the first day of spring. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 16 Mar 07 - 04:45 PM In the low 70s here in North Texas. I mowed my lawn yesterday in shirt-sleeves. I think our frost season is past. It was a heckuva cold winter here, but at least it is usually short. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Bee Date: 16 Mar 07 - 05:49 PM We're getting the storm as well, in NS, but a March snow/freezing rain storm is comfortingly normal here. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: RangerSteve Date: 16 Mar 07 - 11:21 PM Ranger1 - sorry, you missed it. Fresh green beans and noodles with home-made muschroom gravy, too. And a good local red wine. And strawberry shortcake. I'll give you a more advanced notice next time. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: RangerSteve Date: 16 Mar 07 - 11:24 PM Oh, yeah, this was my first attempt at soda bread and it was excellent. Better than any I ever bought in the store. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Mar 07 - 01:24 AM I'm dreaming of a white Easter, with every Easter egg I bite.... May your days be merry and bright, And none of your Easter eggs be white. (I hate white chocolate... eugh, bleuk, phtooey!) LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: wysiwyg Date: 17 Mar 07 - 09:39 AM Spring is here! Spring just isn't the Hallmark Cards imagery. Snow in these parts is often the norm for spring weather, but that doesn't mean it ain't spring. The birds LIKE it, they say. So Hardi's headed out onto the Deere for another pass, even though the sun and rain will take it all away sooner rather than later. The runoff into ther creek is more effective if he plows the snow off to the side, and when it's in the freeze/thaw to ponds mode, it's great to maximaize the runoff. ~S~ |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Bill D Date: 17 Mar 07 - 09:57 AM Well, I guess I can chip enough ice off the car to make it to the Seeger concert tonight...*grin* from 81° to 31° in one day....wow... |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Becca72 Date: 17 Mar 07 - 10:20 AM As my father said yesterday we're not out of the woods snow-wise here until around May...but it still sucks to get whopped with 10" the day before St. Patrick's Day. It's stopped snowing now and turned to a nice rain to give the snowcover that crispy texture. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Bee Date: 17 Mar 07 - 01:15 PM We got: a sifting of snow, a slippery of sleet, a slick bit of silverthaw and then it all went rainy-foggy and 6 degrees. The lake will melt fast in this. Hmm. I can't recall who invented the keyboard/typewriter character layout, but t'wasn't a Proud Weather Obsessed Canadian, as there's no 'degree' character. (Bet it's in one o'them 'alt = #' thingies I can never remember...) |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: RangerSteve Date: 17 Mar 07 - 06:57 PM The snow/sleet/rain combination froze overnight. I went out this morning to my car and I didn't make a dent in the snow, and I weigh 200 lbs. Fortunately, my landlord ploughs the driveway. It would have been too much for me to handle alone by shoveling. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Jeri Date: 17 Mar 07 - 08:55 PM I was at the dentist yesterday, then hit Goodwill because I was right there. I was looking at lots of things before I noticed the crap falling from the sky. I went home with 2 - 3" on the ground and dug in. Today, a neighbor plowed the ass end of my driveway, and eventually I went out to shovel. The 'going out' process took about 15 minutes. See, we got about a foot of snow, and the top part melted and re-froze to a nice crust, and this crusty snow was right in front of my outward-opening storm door. Finally got out, shoveled, and went back in, just like the stupid f*cking ratbastard Puxatony-fleabitten-Phil should have done. For my St. Pats's, I'm going to have a wee drop, and try to remember what the hell 'green' looks like. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: GUEST,hg Date: 17 Mar 07 - 09:14 PM On the Wacissa River today (my favorite spring fed river), I enjoyed brilliant sunshine, brisk north wind, 70's temperature, azaleas blooming everywhere, wisteria, honeysuckle, tea olive and the daffodils are on their way out...bees buzzing, fish jumping, and ducks diving....a lovely spring day.... ...but don't be jealous, hurricane season is less than three months away... |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: leeneia Date: 18 Mar 07 - 08:50 PM We've had weather so beautiful it's worrying. 76 in Kansas City in March?! But today was cooler, sunny and comfortingly normal. My back yard is a sea of brown grass and leaves, dotted with purple crocus. |

Subject: RE: BS: 70's to Snow... From: Richard Bridge Date: 19 Mar 07 - 03:05 AM Colder today here in North Kent, but despite some gusts of wind and some sharp-ish showers yesterday no major sign yet of the expected return of winter and widespread snow over the British Isles. But it's only 8 am. |
