    2 ft of snow in the mountains
    all the passes are at 29 degrees, while the lower elevations are getting rain. temp was 42 until 7 am and then went to 38 here in Tacoma. of course nothing like the inundation occurring in the east.

    here in central Ontario - record highs for this time of year. The first week of April usually yields our last snowfall of the year, not mid 20C. Nobody's complaining, though my body feels it's strange. Not a lot of water in the system - the melt was way early - the maple sap run has been interrupted, on & off again. Wierd weather...

    The sun was so toasty today that I got TWO loads of laundry washed and dried! Instead of the usual 3-4 days it takes wet laundry to dry in my bathroom!********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

    Typical Colorado Spring
    We got a foot of wet slushy snow last night that pretty much destroyed all my little trees :( but is melting away to nothing today. "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

    It's been 55 and showery in the heartland, with Whatcom weather coming in on Thursday night: could be our last snow. My son is flying out to SeaTac to consider putting his Kitsap rental house on the market. He had the misfortune of buying "high" in 2005, and now walks the tightrope of keeping the value above the mortgage obligation. Cool wet weather out there will restrict him to indoor projects and never-ending blackberry vine-cutting!! At least Silverdale Brewery is up the road where he can find a tall glass of Whoopass!

    Somewhere on the wetlands of Whatcom County in the state of Washington the progression of the seasons has lost it's way....Spring arrived late January/early February,now winter is back with a vengeance.It is ten p.m. and the temperature has plummeted to 39 degrees and there is the threat of a dusting of snow in the Mt. Baker foothills....

    we're due for another round of storms, so those plum blossoms may be a little too intrepid for their own good. But it's nice to see 'em anyway!

No complaints from me, but I don't live in the flood zone either. Be careful out there!

got about 6 inches in the mountains of NC, about a half inch of ice under the snow. Shoveled it up and dug out the car, roads are ok, but there will be ice. Still slightly snowing here but is winding down, not the 12 to 18 inches they had projected.

if you can avoid driving in this, it's a good idea. I got a flat yesterday so had to go to Costco today to get a replacement, and the freeway was such a mess coming home that I was really glad to have the good tires. Even gladder to be home and not have to go out again. This rain does take me back to a whole lot of getting soaked outside the Henry J.

At least I can say that. There has been a short stretch of sub-zero temps and even more frigid wind chills. Unfortunately, there has not been much in the way of snow again this winter. I essentially have to head north or to higher elevations if I want to experience any deep snow. We only have 5" of snow cover at the moment! We're also looking at the potential for mid-40 degree weather and rain for the latter part of next week which should essentially obliterate the little we currently have. I guess Punxatawny Phil was right... On a positive note, I was able to get one of my old snowshoes repaired for only $20. The crampon was broke. It's amazing how difficult those parts can be to track down! The snow shoe companies really have planned obsolescence down to a "t"! Thanks to my perseverance and stick-to-itiveness I have a real nice set for backup. And on another positive note, I have at the moment reservations for Sedgwick, CO and 2 nights in Denver for Spring Break. And, a little bit later I will set the reservation for 2 or 3 nights at Estes Park, which is just a stones throw from the Colorado Rockies wilderness and paradise for a snowshoer like me. There's not much I'd rather be doing on the first day of spring than snowshoeing in the Colorado Rockies.

Snowshoed today and it was great! (if a little shallow on the snow) At least it was cold enough. Was able to spot a kingfisher, a screaming red-tailed hawk, a beaver den and various other mammal tracks...

Funny, my nickname used to be 'ski-man' but I was never a skier. On another tangentially related note, I just supported the Rex Foundation! There is a t-shirt available over at Nancy's Yogurt and all proceeds benefit the Rex Foundation. It's thanks to you for including the website... :-) http://nancys-yogurt.myshopify.com/products/nancy-s-yogurt-sunshine-day… http://www.rexfoundation.org/support-rex/

...on the button. It may have actually been colder at a point. Not to mention there's about a foot of fresh, light airy powder snow and nary a breeze. The weather conditions made for several wonderful snowshoe treks at some of my favorite haunts yesterday!

Chilly start at the ski area yesterday: much more pleasant at +14 F this morning. Maybe I'll be able to change my long john's!
