I looked out my window just now and I did NOT see that :D:D:D
How beautiful and encouraging!! Thanks!
Our snow is melting very quickly and yesterday I saw crocus and tulip leave poking through!
We've got crocuses around town and those little daffodils too.
Our trees are budding.:D:D

It's not here either! Still over a foot of snow outside.

:(
As soon as I see a blade of grass I'll sing about it!
we've got the May Gray in February:

Greetings from sunny South Texas (currently 68 degrees). :)
Highs in the lower 20s? Surely that's a typo. :DQuote:

No typos... it just went through here. We *are* supposed to sneak into the 40's and p'raps 50 Sunday... then back down to the 30's & 20's.
Still, it is so clear that spring is oozing in between the icicles! Middle-aged Mammas will be traipsing the trellises in our skivvies when it comes ;)
I looked my window this morning and guess what I saw? A sea of snow! Can't distinguish between my front yard and the street. I live on a road that the county feels doesn't really need to be plowed.
Oh well.
I see red buds trying to come out in the central part of the state. My japanese cherry tree has cute little buds on it. :)
Ok, it's really warm and pretty today. I'm gonna play hookie and ride. :)
It is warmer here finally and the snow is melting - BUT It will not melt for a very long time in my yard I'm afraid - too much shade and snow! Oh, I even dreamt about gardening the other night - I really want to see and smell the dirt!
Same forecast as Lisa here in MA, with just a little less snow predicted; 3-6 inches. At least I can get one more x country ski in, but I have to get on my bike and at least be stronger than the slowest person on the ride we lead on March 30th!
Some say it's spring here......hope springs eternal.....
At 9:00 this morning, it was a whopping three degrees farenheit here. And we're forecast to get another 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow (got about six the day before yesterday).
:(:(:(::(
Some people like this but not me.
Hrrrmmphh! Spring is a figment of y'all's imagination. It doesn't exist. Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. I just don't believe that Spring will come this year. :(:(
jobob, I LOVE that!!!Quote:

The first TULIP bloomed today in the yard! It's early for a tulip, but I guess it has a warm microclimate.

Sandra, you really should duck when you post something like this. It's suppose to be 70 today!!!! BUT it's so windy you can hardly walk and we have a winter snow warning for tomorrow when the mercury plummets. I want off this roller coaster!
It sure is. On the Maryland side of D.C., my tulip has (yes, I have only one) barely poked it's head above the ground. However, I can hear the deer getting excited from here. The daffodils are farthur along, but nowhere close to MimiTabby's. I was in Portland OR last week, and the crocuses (croci?) were up and blooming and the daffodil bulbs were filling up, ready to pop.Quote:

Good news Sandra - can you send some here? Please?
Lisa and Crankin' - look on the bright side. March came in like a lion so it has to go out like a lamb, right?
We just got back from Maine. Wanna talk about snow? The banks at my house are over the bottoms of the windows :eek:. We won't be snowless there until July. We have been having the driveway plowed this winter, but we still have to shovel the entry way and to get our trailer out - took us over 1.5 hours just to do that! So far this winter they have had about 120" of snow...
Regardless, I'm going out for a ride today, and will flip Mother Nature the bird :D.
SheFly
SheFly, I am debating whether to go for a ride or a snow shoe today. I don't have a lot of time, so it won't be anything super. When I was out snow shoeing yesterday, it did feel like spring. The snow was mushy even though it was fresh. I decided not to ski today because last Sunday the conditions at Great Brook were terrible even though we were there at 9 AM and it had just snowed. Plus, all those yahoos from Boston are there, for a trip to the "country." There was ice everywhere, along with exposed roots on the black diamond trail. I didn't fall there, but I did fall a few times on all of the other icy, rooty, grassy spots on the flats! It was very embarrassing.
I do plan to ride tomorrow after work, even though it will still be on my hybrid.
Robyn
I would love to be excited of Spring showing up soon. Right now it is 40* and tomorrow it should still be in the 40s, but SNOW! Seriously how can it snow if it is going to be 45* as a high? After that the bad news...30s and more snow.
I'm over this already......this is the first year that I am truely excited about biking and training. I need to take my Temp.
Hubby wants to move to North Carolina. I was thinking about the Winston Salem area. We can bike all year round he says. However, coming from a man who I believe has snowballs for brains, since he bikes all year round here,anyways, means very little to a person who hates freezing.
Anyone know if that area is nice?
My yard after I got home from skiing today. We're in the 200" or so range so far, which is about average. I missed all the mid-winter pictures (frankly, not enough daylight hours to get out there and take any). Hope these attach - my first attempt.
Okay, so I do like tulips - I'm just not ready.:D Mine won't be up for a month or two. Or three?
Oh, and just for snowbank scale, that's a 50lb Aussie/German Shepherd mix in the 3rd picture. Lake Superior in the background.
Skierchickie, look at the first picture of this thread. Wanna do a house swap? I'd love to check out your place and you can come down here and ride every day. I never get to see snow!!!! That's a LOT!
Sandra - hmmmm...... nope! :) Mississippi is hot & muggy - I'd melt! I have a rare condition called the Wicked Witch of the North Syndrome. Makes me crabby & sweaty in Mississippi.;) You could visit, though! It is a nice picture, by the way - very pretty, but very deceptively HOT! 70 is my max, and that is if it isn't too humid.
When you come up here, this would be the time of year. The sun is shining (not so much in January) and it's 35 right now, although it's supposed to drop through the teens tomorrow and be in the 20s most of the week.
I know this is blasphemy on TE, but I don't wanna ride in the winter! Skiing is my thing (for the last -erg - 33 years!:eek: Since I was 9.). Biking must wait another month or so.
Enjoy your flowers & unbearable heat! :D
I have no plants near me to show off with pictars!
It melted today and the crocuses have been DOING THINGS under the snow :D :D :D GERMINATION! GERMINATION!
Saw many the turdus migratorius today, too.
I agree!Quote:

.. but tonight we're getting rain/ice/snow and the cold air returns :mad:
High today here: close to 80.
Skierchickie,
Your home, view, and snow are absolutely beautiful! Even though I am a cold-weather wimp, I love the beauty of snow and only rarely get to experience it. Adore log homes too! Gawgeous!
Emily
Yesterday 74. Today 28. Snow and sleet. Guess yesterday was just a teaser.
I moved to Mississippi from PA for 5 yrs during school, I swear to whoever, parts of my car melted there. :) probably parts of me too. And I never quite got back my cold weather tolerance when I came back north. :)Quote:
