Weather Gloat

First, my apologies to those of you in the northeast getting the snow, and I realize this is no big deal to people in Florida, but yesterday here in the Seattle area it was not only sunny all day but hit 75 in the afternoon.

I'm not sure if that's a record but it's very unusual, normal is mid 40s. Too nice a day to be inside so I drove in to Redmond to letter a van that I'd been putting off, and actually used the A/C in the truck.

Joe,
You are so cruel.
Here in Mid Michigan at 8:45 A.M. it is "0" deeegreez out and there is a 4 inch blanket of new snow on the ground that I have to clear off of my 300 foot driveway before I can go any place. On the positive side, the Sun is shining and it is supposed to reach 27* as a high for the day. Think I will go back to bed, that way I won't get a burn from the bright Sun shinning on the new snow. I hate to sweat so I think I will stay in this beautiful state of Michigan.

Hey Joe......Here in the Inland Northwest we hit the mid-60s yesterday!

[Phyllis Meyer]

I hear next week we might be in the 40's! Above, not below! My husband plows snow for the Highway Department...he has been working a lot of overtime! I am really getting sick of snow! Spring could come anytime!

Sincerely,
Phyllis

It's probably my fault for bringing it up, but today it's back to normal here,
45 and drizzly rain.

Phyllis,

Wish I could ship you some Spring. It is 73 and beautifully sunny here. The dogwoods and azaleas are in full bloom. Course there is a down side - it'll be in the high 90s and up from mid April until possibly Thanksgiving, along with 90% humidity. Ah . . . Summer in the South. We were stretched out by the pool this year on December 1st. Maybe I can send you a pic of the azaleas tomorrow - might cheer you up.

Yup winter blues here as well, 76 and cloudy today. I really miss those cold Michigan days and night, well not really...

[Bruce Page]

I'm heading up to Alaska tomorrow for a week or two (work, not play). I checked the weather just now and it's 17*...I can hardly wait...

[Phyllis Meyer]

Pictures would be nice! I think it might be the "age thing", we like Wisconsin but when we can get snow into May, the winters get a little long! We love the spring/summer (what little of them we get). We haven't had time yet to try the "fly for free tickets" because my husband can't leave (busy time at his work-snow plowing)!

I'll be thinking about your flowers

Sincerely,
Phyllis

[Travis Hirst]

Thanks alot Joe!! I was really hoping for another day today like yesterday. I had some spring fever in a bad way yesterday afternoon.

It was a nice 74 here, north of Dallas.

The first Purple Martin scout stopped by today for a couple hours. The flock will probably arrive in a day or two.

Barry, I’ll be arriving in your fair city at midnight tomorrow then catching the 9:40 ERA morning flight over to Kodiak. I was on island two weeks ago and saw a lot of road heaving. I've been going to Kodiak for about 6 years and I have never seen that before. I was talking with a Coast Guard acquaintance that lives on Kodiak, he said that they have had one of the coldest, whitest winters in years.
