fairfarmhand Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 GO AWAY! SCRAM! Get out of here. We're tired of you. I want to go outside without wrapping yards of heavy fabric around my body. I want bare feet, shorts, and baseball caps. I want to plant seeds and dig in the dirt. So just stop. It. Now. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Preach it, sister. I miss dirt. I miss green things. Dude, I miss gardening so much I would plant spinach and kale, both things I hate that dh loves, just to play in the dirt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 We are over winter here too in West Michigan. We were 13 degrees below normal for the month of Feb.........coldest on record. This morning it was zero again with a high of 15-17 when our normal high is about 40 this time of year. I love cross country skiing but by March I am ready for bare ground so I can get out horseback riding again. Snow is just way too deep here to ride and everywhere else is icy.

SKL Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'd be happy just to be able to walk to my mailbox without worrying about busting my tailbone. The school bus driver yesterday instructed my kids to run in the street rather than take 5 minutes walking on ice to get to the bus stop. Needless to say, my neighbors were thrilled to see children running on the street this morning. And we're supposed to plant a couple of trees to qualify for a scout badge in the next few weeks. Right.... And, I hate being cold. Brr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I never enjoy snow, but this is just... beyond. Our school district has had 11 full days of school in 5 weeks if that gives you any idea. I am *this* close to snapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yesterday we had 68 degrees, birds singing, sun shining, this morning 29 degrees and everything is covered in ice. Oh and no school again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yeah, our city is shut down again today (after getting 8 inches of snow last week). This time it is due to sleet/ice, so it's no fun whatsoever. Ick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTulip Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I just miss color. Everything around me is varying shades of white, gray, and black: the sky, the roads, the ground, everything. I'm so looking forward to blue sky, green grass, and lots of bright-colored flowers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEm Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Today is one day I'm thankful for old man winter. All 4 kids have a stomach virus. The amount of vomit and diarrhea that we've had to deal with would have me in tears if dh had to go to work today. Luckily the snow has kept him home. But the second this bug is done winter can scram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm done with it, too! We got 18 inches last night, after 12inches two weeks ago. I want spring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2ndGenHomeschooler Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 On Tuesday I took the kids to the beach because they wanted to see if the sand and salty air would melt the snow. It doesn't, which was cool to see. But as I was standing there on the beach in 4" of snow watching my children throw ice into the ocean, I realized that it was MARCH and I was standing on the beach in 4" of SNOW. So, so wrong. Today it is snowing again. We have 4"+ out there and hours to go. A friend got her van stuck in a snow bank and the ice on my driveway yesterday and it took us 45 minutes to get her unstuck. We have 3 feet of packed down snow covering everything and piles taller than I am around our driveway. In a normal year we get a snow storm and then it mostly melts before the next one comes. This year it's been too cold to melt so it just keeps piling up. We had a little melting yesterday but there's no where for the water to go so it just forms massive, muddy puddles that freeze overnight. How old exactly is this old man we call Winter? Isn't it about time he died? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathy_overman Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 YES!!! Enough already! Fresh air. Outside play. Relaxing walks. Sunshine. Wind on my face. Clear roads. Yard work. Anything outside would be SO nice at this point. I miss it all so much. Not to mention, our special needs daughter who goes to PS, has not had a full week of school ALL YEAR. It is SO disruptive to me and the schooling, and I just want to explode! Go away Winter, just go!!!! I could add a zillion exclamation points, but I won't. I am off to trudge through the snow to retrieve the boys that must get something done - just a math lesson. How I will hear about it from the boys. How evil I am that I make them work. But will they remember this come June when all the kids are still in school 6 hours a day. Oh no they won't. Forgive me, I am so irritiable today.

KrissiK Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well, I guess no one's happy this winter. We have beautiful weather this spring, the sun's out, trees are blooming, but we need the rain so bad. The Sierra snow pack is at 20% of normal and the water table is shrinking. Too bad we can't trade weather for a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Three inches of snow. In Texas. In March. I do not leave the house. I refuse, and no one can make me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prairiewindmomma Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 I decided that I am just done with winter. I packed away all of the down comforters today, and I'm giving all of the snow pants and gloves a good wash and I'm putting them away. I am decorating for spring and declaring it so. Winter is done!
