LauraGB Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 It's a beautiful 62 degrees here today. The windows are all open. The sky is sunny. The air is fresh and crisp and good. We walked the dog in jeans and t-shirts, sweatshirts tied around our waist, down the trail by the river today because it's clear now with only the occasional silly looking pile of snow to remind us of the winter. I just want to dig in all the garden dirt and plant seeds and rake the yard and wash the exterior windows and... But I can't because, darn it, I know it is going to snow again. Grr. Putting the seeds in the pots and setting them in the windows of our dungeon-like basement to sprout just isn't cutting it! Anyone else suffering through the trickery of Northern spring?

dirty ethel rackham Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Yep - a 60+ degree day here. We had our 4-h meeting outside today and I have the sunburn to prove it:). But, we are expecting show on Sunday. I told my kids not to get too used to it and not to trust it until mid April (remembering last year's April snowstorm.)

kalanamak Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well, you may think it less a trick when you flood. Won't all that snow this year give flooding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarlaS Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Anyone else suffering through the trickery of Northern spring? Michigan resident here! It's balmy today, but I'm not fooled. :glare: It is not spring yet. I did get to use the grill yesterday. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in AL Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Well, here in the southwestern tip of Virginia it has been cloudy, drizzling and cold. Feels just like winter. blech. Here in Northern Alabama it felt like winter, too. The skies were very low and the air was so damp I thought it was going to snow. :glare: The poor local kids are all on Spring Break, too.... I feel bad for them having this horrid weather. I'm so sick of winter!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 YES! It has been gorgeous here for days. 67 degrees yesterday so I opened all the windows and sat on my front step adn read a book! Shoveable snow expected on Sunday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We are supposed to have a high today of 50*. It does not set a record, but it is unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 We have had a few nice days lately and I loved them. I went outside without a jacket or sweatshirt and picked up the yard. I also wanted to dig in the dirt and enjoy it, yet the ground here is still froze in places. Also I know it will snow so many more times before our actual spring starts. I know the calendar date doesn't count when you live here. Spring for us will be closer to the end of April or early May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyWImom Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Wisconsin here! We spent about 3 hours outside yesterday, looking at all of our buds and tulips coming up. Today, we're going on a long nature walk-that's school for today. Tomorrow, probably more of the same. The dc have been riding their bikes every day. I want to get it all in before the yucky weekend.

MeanestMomInMidwest Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Spring is just mean in March!!! My sentiments, exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impish Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Posting from Canada, and its been gorgeous here...highly unusual. I'm not trusting it, because I remember all too well it snowing on my wedding day (Apr 3rd). Nothing says romance like winter boots under your wedding gown! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Another Wisconsinites here and yes spring is hard. The kids have broken out their spring coats and when it gets cold and snows again they will fight me tooth and nail about putting those winter coats back on. They just don't understand that just because it feels like spring doesn't mean it really IS spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
