80 degrees and sunny today. 
Rain, changing to snow. I think I've seen this a few dozen times so far in 2011...
The odd thing is that February was considerably sunnier than usual for Michigan. We actually had more than four days of sun!!!
But it's still F%&ken cold!!!

MJAlbers, I, along with many other people, have been working on my tan at spring training games for two weeks now. Life is more enjoyable when less clothes are involved. 
It's snowing! 
I'm about to go out the door to go skiing. NOTHING could be better, especially not sitting around watching a fake basebore game while getting skin cancer.

Not sure where I'm dining at tonight, but it will be outside for sure.

Its always that kind of party down here!
MJ, your trip down here is getting close right?
Great weather up here.
Starting to rain/sleet with 30-40 MPH winds. Going to turn to snow this afternoon/evening - Blizzard Warning!! Then it will continue to snow through the weekend as temps drop below zero.

jb- not likely at this point, but not totally out of the question. I can live with skipping the trip this year if it means I can realize the permanent move down before next snowfall! I will keep you posted.quote:Originally posted by jburman82:

A permanent move would be much better though.

With the exception of the wine, sounds like a wonderful Friday afternoon.
We got over 6 feet of snow from the last storm, no power for 3 days now.
Another 91 inches expected from the next storm.
I have an excavation crew here to move snow out to make room for more.
Anyone want to buy a lovely Inn near Yosemite National Park???

Cigars smell bad enough!
Went in the jacuzzi with a big glass of syrah in rainy weather. Wine glass stays out of rainfall and this sure beats shoveling snow.
Only about an inch of snow, but only a dusting stuck on pavement. I can take winter's last gasp.

Did you all miss a memo? It is Spring!
Blizzard in Fargo Tuesday/Wednesday morning. We only got 6-8 inches, central part of the state got up to 17 inches!!
So after shoveling out, we made it to the airport and flights were only delayed an hour. So I'm now listening to the beach and drinking up cup of coffee, waiting for a big storm to come in here. Luckily no snow on the beach in Santa Cruz. I can live with rain and heavy winds.

We have a couple of them, but you can't use them when there is 10 feet of snow, which is about where it is right now. Still now power.

After a couple of weeks of nice early spring weather, I thought I would be OK getting my JJB shipment sent. Even the forecast going into last week seemed very temperate so I gave the go-ahead a week ago friday for them to ship on Monday. And as each day went by, the forecast temps crept lower and lower and lower
I think they made it just in time. Other than corks pushing out, how can you tell if your wine got frozen?

Redhawk - Just as it takes a great extreme to finally get wine in a tyro shipper to freeze, once it does truly freeze, it takes a long time to thaw. You'dlikely receive a bottles slurpy at your door. I wouldn't be overly concerned if there's no telltale evidence at this point. In a styro, it really does take an extended period of time subjected to deep cold to get those bottles to freeze.
Well summer seems to have hit as it was blazing hot in Key West this weekend
In the 20s here.

Thanks for the reassurance. I did open the boxes as soon as I could, and the bottles felt fine. The night before, it got down to about 10F here, but I'm thinking the boxes were en route somewhere south of here, or at least indoors in a warehouse, or even buried in a truck with other packages for insulation. Plus, the daytime temps have been above 32, with sunshine, at least locally. I'm not too worried.

I had tickets to Opening Day about 10 years ago against the White Sox. It was snowed out.

The good news, it was in the teens this morning. The bad news, not a cloud in the sky, first day this month without any snow.
Got back from Spring Break in FL Monday. Is it possible my blood could have thinned that much in 10 days? Have not been warm since.
Waking up after a raucous, stormy night of driving rain I now see: 2" of snow on the ground and a beautiful sunrise. This is the PNW, not Tuktoyaktuk! My excavating was done yesterday and this was not what I had in mind. 
Spring has arrived. 67 and sunny today. We travel to summer mañana.
Snowing hard. Already an inch of accumulation. I love snow--but not past the middle of April.
Skis, snowboots and ice skates went into the attic last week. Was hoping to put in the boat and docks this week.
It's enough to drive a person to drink!

Low 20's this morning, snowing most of the day yesterday, ahh spring in Vermont.
Everyday for the last 8 has been sunny and with highs of 84-87. I starting to forget about the miserable winter we had up north.
2 to 3 inches of snow and sleet this morning. It did get up to 35 in the afternoon, heatwave.
Today was the first really warm day of the year in the PNW.
I went skiing-no kidding.

Yesterday we had sun, rain, hail, snow and massive thunderstorms. I had to put off the planned gardening.

Woke up this morning in Park City and there is snow on the ground!
It is currently snowing outside my office window - not to mention all along the Wasatch Front. There should be 1-2 feet of snow in the mountains by the end of the day tomorrow.
It was 88 degrees one week ago today.

Thanks for asking Ed. I'm surprised no one has posted.
I finally got my power last night since it went out last Saturday. Lots of big tree limbs and some good-sized trees that fell.
Lucky for me, my GF never lost power at her place and the temps weren't cold enough to freeze the pipes in the house. GF is a teacher and her school district has suspended school through today. She's waiting for a call today to know if school will reopen tomorrow.

We had the pleasure of flying to NYC on Saturday morning, having snow and freezing rain during the day and night and coming home Monday to flooding and rain etc - was great.
NYC was fine other than lots of fallen tree limbs due to the heavy snow and leaves still on trees, was a mess but no power issues and Sunday was beautiful albeit chilly for us
