I can't remember when it ever snowed so late in the winter here.
I'm livin' the dream: day off, cup of hot coffee, comfortable chair, and looking out the window as the snow comes down...

I don't relax until that date and accordingly, I ignore crocuses, daffodils, and fat red robins.

(6,913 posts)Driest winter I can remember. Usually its raining and dark every day. Nice to have the sun but it makes the summer scary.

(66,481 posts)Here in Washington, when you'd think we would know better, we still say things like: "Man, this rain is really something! Do you believe this?"
46 here now, was snow in the area yesterday, (50? miles north of me,) and 66 forecast hi for Wednesday!
'Man, this is crazy!!!'

(2,585 posts)None of it is sticking, at least not so far. The local Weather Service office and the local t.v. forecasters seem to think that accumulating snow will be confined to elevations above 500 feet. Fine with me! I uncluttered the area near my fireplace so I could sit near it. The wind has been howling in the chimney. It feels so good to be home, looking out at the stormy skies. Need to kick myself out of here and get grocery shopping done, and buy more cat food, but I just can't seem to budge. Weather Service is forecasting frozen roads and black ice. Guess I have to tip my hat to old Punxsutawney Phil. Stay warm, Aristus.
