My daughter and I went out and had a Mayuary snowball fight a little while ago. History made . #Coronacationentertainment

Alright forky we need some flamethrower pics.

So nice to wake up to snow on the ground. It really highlights the soft greens and the colors of the flowers around my garden. In the shade on elevated surfaces I have over .5".

Snowing pretty hard here. Sticking to the regular colder surfaces and even on the lawn and bushes now.

It's snowing pretty hard and sticking to cars, railings and even some on bushes and on the grass now.

I don't know is 34 degree white rain any better than 35 degree regular rain? I want to see the snow just to tie the record and I'm going to hope there's still enough moisture around as the whole thing pulls out Saturday night that it flakes after midnight and sets a new record as the temp drops and I "find" a trace on the grill top.

I think HM and Jerry were there too.

This time it's actually important as it will tie a record if it does snow.

LALALALALA I don't see this lalalalala

^ ? It's got that raw mid March feeling out there today. It's kind of like deja vu... Is it over yet?

This wind is drying things out quickly. Yay. Please, no snow or cold this weekend.

At least now with everything leafing out it will draw the surface water down somewhat.

I would too, unfortunately pretty much everything I kept at my parents house for storage when I moved out was ruined or burned in a fire about 20 years ago. Now it's just a big table in the basement with stuff piled 2 feet deep on it

When I was a teenager I had a 5 x 18' table set up with a three layer deep HO train set that went through 2 mountain ranges and three towns. I could run two 5 or 6 car trains at the same time. There was also over 200 feet of slot car tracks that went up to five layers high at points wrapping through the towns and mountains. I used to run two cars and two trains at the same time with a controller in each hand, it was quite a trick to run for any length of time without a major collision. I wish my house now was big enough to do something like that.

Yay for me being the flakey one

No more frost damnit! You stop talking like that... Are you seeing t-storms? It's brightening up down here but still drizzling. 1.5" since yesterday morning. It's soggy.

Ahh but will Sunday be nice too? We're going to need it because it will take the nice day Saturday to dry things out so we can do outside stuff Sunday.

^^ Damn It's not very springy out there today, not even a little bit. Yuck. Again...

Yeah right, even on the nice days there's still a crispness that hints of winter. We've really only had 2 or 3 days where the air was warm and 'soft'.

April has been 45* and dreary for years now. This is useless weather for being outdoors. At least I'm north and at reasonable elevation for around here, my average has bumped to about 50" this century. I also have an easy shot to get further north when the weather is questionable.

Every time somebody mentions WW the memories of some wonderful "debates" with DT come flooding back. He was quite the argumentative little firecracker 20 years ago... Ahh yes weather banter. Another 40 degree dreary day on tap. Yay!

Are you sure you don't have some Vulcan in your DNA? Too much logic... Raised boxes should be able to have a tarp thrown over them on the cold nights right? Yeah soil temps are mid 40's, I didn't know about additional vulnerabilities due to that. Learning learning Cold weather resistant always goes in first, lettuce and spinach, stuff like that.

The post that @bluewave just made sure does look wet and cold for at least the next few weeks, this is no good for getting plants in the ground so we can have fresh veggies sooner rather than later. I think that when it dries out a bit tomorrow I'm just going to go ahead and get the less vulnerable plants in otherwise it's July before the garden is generating any real food. The trees and many plants seem to be waking up very slowly after what looked like it was going to be one of the earliest leaf outs in a long, long time but then they just stopped, in the last two days they seem to be trying to spit leaves out but it's been painfully slow to watch. Fingers crossed that we don't get another hard frost. What say ye oh wise gardeners and food producers?

And now it's nice. Sorta. Not looking forward to a washout tomorrow. Being on an anti platelet med kinda sux, I bruise so easily now it's crazy. My hand got jacked into the handlebar when I was riding yesterday and now it's all bruised and swollen, I can't grab things and hold them tight and even the steering wheel and shifter were tough to hold normally. Good thing I don't have to drive much right now I guess.

Fake flurries falling on a fake cold day in late April. Yup. Flurries are more like light snow now.
