    Ain't it spring yet

    Anyone else sick of this winter? Another 6" of snow coming! I'm almost ready to join the south and listen to the tweety birds in the window sill, even if I have to learn to drink sweet tea.

    Wind, your talking Dakota territory here. 30 mph?? that ain't wind. The wind blew so hard today it blew up my furnace vent pipe and shut down my furnace because it went negative pressure on the high effiecency chininy/vent. Came home and it was 50 degrees in the house, lucky it is spring and not cold anymore, just 30F.

    Up to 12 inches predicted overnight here in Mid Michigan. Think maybe it may be part of the storm that hit the Dakotas in the past several hours.

    I've ridden a few but never owned one. I googled my name once, there's a lot of us.

    VA weather has been real nice. 70's today, 70's Wednesday.... then cools off to 50's and 40's for a few days. I'd rather the 70's stick around though.

    We barely had a winter. 85 or so yesterday, same today. Tons of sunshine. Dogwoods and azaleas in full bloom. Birds singing. Oh, and stupid high pollen count. Lived in the south all my life and I don't drink sweet tea. Come on down!

    41" snow in the last 3 days, more coming through Sunday. I have had 162" total for the year. Welcome to sunny California.

    I could brag about the low 80s we are having right now but then you guys wouldn't let me complain in July and August when the temp and humidity are both in the 90s (or higher).

    Took me an hour and a half to clear my 300 foot drive way with my John Deere and my 60" back blade of close to 8" of heavy wet snow. Another inch fell while I was plowing. The regular plow guys put up their plows but had to haul them out again and if they are smart they will leave the plows on their trucks cause it ain't over until the fat lady wears her bikini.
