Katiebug_1976 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 We were just outside in shorts, running through the sprinkler 5 days ago, and now there is SNOW on the ground!!! Can you believe it? I was so ready for spring and even summer, but now it's winter extreme all over again! I guess that's what I get for living in Oklahoma! 80 degrees one day, and 30 the next. You never know what tomorrow will be like. I'm afraid this is going to kill our pecans again this year (we didn't get any off of our tree last year because of a late freeze). I guess I shouldn't complain, it is really pretty to watch. So, does anyone else have snow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ida Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 snow, and a flood to go with it! Fun, fun. We haven't gotten to 80 this year, but were feeling pretty warm in the upper 40's a week or so ago. Even more snow headed our way next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in OK Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 We're getting snow today (obviously since I'm in OK too lol). I LOVE it!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcjlkplus3 Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 We had our first blizzard of the season here in CO on Thursday. Snow days for Thursday and Friday at our house. We have had VERY little snow since before CHristmas this year. at least in the Denver area - I think the mountains have had a good amount.

Hathersage Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Oh snow! Actually, the snow, I don't mind, the wind however is another story. Windchill in Kansas is awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 hmmm, we are in the "don't mind the cold as long as we don't have to shovel snow" category here. That's why western ND works for us here, usu. only 15 inches of snow per winter. but this year is 80" or so? ugh... Ida - I hope you are all high and dry there!

Katiebug_1976 Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Well, the snow is almost gone. Already! I can't believe how fast it is melting. Yesterday is was winter (blizzarding), but today it is spring again. Our yard is almost all green, but after the snow melts I'm afraid I might have to mow it! Boy, the weather here is just nuts!

elise1mds Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I hear ya about the mowing! I hope it dries out in time, because it's supposed to rain next Saturday again, and it's amazing how much the grass - and weeds - have grown in the past four days. We still have a couple of inches left on the ground at our house, but some spots are showing green. I'm just glad the roads are in good shape.

Veritaserum Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yeah, we got snow this afternoon. :glare: I sure hope it decides to be spring again soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommyrooch Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We live in Central Oklahoma and I'm dissapointed to say that we only got a light dusting. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I really like snow but if we're going to get some then it should at least be enough to build a snowman with, right? :rolleyes: I too was really enjoying our pretty weather. My Bradford Pear trees are already beautifully bloomed and my Redbuds are also pretty. Those poor trees and going to get confused. :blink: Oh well, I guess it's true what they say here, "the only thing predictable about Oklahoma weather is that it's unpredictable. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MommyJo Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Ahhh I couldn't imagine. We are in TN and we hardly get any snow. They say it's the LARGE Eastman Chemical Co. releasing chemicals into our clouds but it stays hot now sometimes through Dec. This winter was a little colder but not a lot of snow thank goodness.

*Jessica* Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 We woke up to snow this morning. But we haven't had any 80 degree days here in NY yet. I think our warmest day has been around 60 degrees. It is a bummer to go from wearing just a sweatshirt to play outside to having to bundle up with gloves and hats and boots. I have a feeling we'll just stay inside today. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ida Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 I'm actually quite fond of the snow, but am really, really hoping the strong winds from potential "blizzard like conditions" don't overwhelm our dikes, and I have HUGE amounts of appreciation to the wonderful officials, national guardspeople, and others, who will be out there patrolling the river through it all. The timing of this particular storm is not the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDBask Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 We are getting hit again with the second major blast since the first day of spring. We've had snow all winter but somehow we notice it more when it is "supposed" to be spring! Only 5 more storms and then it is officially spring, according to all of the local legends. Today's dumping was the poor man's fertilizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie in NE Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 In the last blizzard, we lost 3 calves. I guess you have to count your blessings, though, as one neighbor lost 7 calves, and another lost 10. There's not a darn thing you can do about it. It. Is. Agonizing. I would covet any prayers you might be willing to send our way..... It's tough enough already to make the ends meet, without calves dying left and right......
