Has spring arrived yet?

[elkimmeg]

Forecast tonight up to 6'' of snow Time to go out and get some more wood and fire up the stove. I't hard to believe as I worked only in a sweatshirt stacking wood today

Elk, Everyone in my neighborhood has fired up their lawn mowers and is cutting grass. It's 80*F and I'm in my shorts and a T-shirt... outside. Yeah, dude, it's spring... if you don't live in New England!

80 degrees in Tenn., sunny, hot, pollen is every where........may not get to have any more fires......maybe 2 nights next week and that it.


We had no winter at all..........1/2 inch of slush total all winter.......coldest night was maybe 16 degrees.

Just check the highs and lows on this weather chart for the next ten days in Tenn.

60 degrees here in Wisconsin today. Cleaned up some of the wood that the local utility took down by lines running through my property. Elm with an 8 lb maul. Wrists are sore, and back is sore, but it was a beautiful day in the woods with my six year old son.

Early spring's here in force. Leaves are about 20% out. Rhodies and camelias are coming into bloom. Wet rainy and in the low 50s.

 

[BrotherBart]

Warm here today so I cut and hauled a bunch of big red oak rounds up from the woods. You guys talk like this stuff is fun. To this old fart it is just plain old work!

Beer and online poker time.

I worked on the wife's brakes. We're supposed to get about an inch tonight, but I'm hoping it just comes down as rain.

60's here today and rain tomorrow. 70's forcasted for Monday. No fire for the last few days. I've been busy cutting, splitting and stacking wood. Already have 3 cords ready for next year and another 3 needs splitting/stacking for the following year. Bring on spring! I'm ready to catch some Walleyes!

BG, Nice paverstone and landscaping. Really lovely. Congrats.

 

[elkimmeg]

whow the snow came in early. It was suoposed to rain and change to snow after midnight, but it started an hour back and we have an inch already

 

[Xena]

BG that's a great picture. Elk It's snowing here too, but
the forecast only shows 2-4" for my area. Snowplow
is off the Jeep and not going back on until the Fall.
I'll be happy when it's 80F here and the stove is off
for the season too!

Here in SouthEastern Ct, near the coast, it's just rian. looks like the long range forcast has temps moderating into the 50's and 60's. overnight lows only in the low to mid 30's. I'm thinking Spring has sprung in Southern N.E.

Thanks. It will take a couple years for all the baby plants to grow and become established, but it's off to a good start.

Elk...It's just "March madness" in new england!
It started to rain "up here on the hill" around 6:45. Changed to snow around 8:15 1" at 10pm...I just went outside to check on the boiler at 3AM...2 1/4" but it isn't sticking to the driveway...so hopefully it will be gone by Monday.
If I were a "gambling man" I'd bet we are in for two more "snow showers/storms" April 1st and on Easter...would follow the track record of snow on Val. day and St. Pats...lol

 

[EatenByLimestone]

The storm came in early and all we rec'd was rain. The snow is almost gone and I'm starting to clean up the yard today. I started to get a few leads on trees down too. I may get all my scrounging in early!

Again over hyped about 2" on grassy surfaces , most driveways and roads have melted by now. Not enough to x-country ski

I think I will work on my wood supply today. All said and done I should have 11/12 cords stacked About 2 years ahead

 

[Tendencies]
