Did someone say it's officially Spring?

What the hell happened!? The pic of this beautiful winter wonderland was taken just a few minutes ago from my garage. It started snowing yesterday around 3 or 4 pm. It was only a light snow with no real accumulation until later in the evening around 8 or 9. I woke up to this nonsense. You know the saying "April snow showers bring May Flowers"

Lovely scenery.

Although I think you should have a serious talk with Santa Greta and her promisses of a warmer climate..

I cancelled the service appointment for my M2 because of the forecast. The track tires aren't suited to any snowfall

45º here this morning. The bright side of cool weather in this area is that if it's cool, then it's not hot. Of course, that's easy to say when there's no snow.

Last year and this year spring keeps getting pushed back and ol man winter keeps popping up. Our plants are several weeks behind normal growth. I am ready for my shorts to come out of the drawers and the jeans to get hung up for the sprint and summer warmth. Dang cold weather is keeping me in jeans, and I hate that.

I considered mowing mine yesterday because this snow will put me behind but decided not to. I fertilized about 2 weeks ago so I have to mow about every 3-4 days or it gets out of hand and I can't stand having grass clumps on the lawn.

A killing freeze warning has just been posted for my area for tonight. Hope my apple tree flowers survive.

Southern California has its share of problems; but snow is not one of them (unless you want to drive to the mountains).

All in all, it is a pretty sight in your front yard. IMHO those cold grey days just make Spring all that more beautiful.

No snow, but the temp this am was only 22F here.
Made it to 45 so far this afternoon, but with the wind, it feels like 25

Warm-up starts tomorrow.

If that's the T storm that just moved thru here...hang on. We had everything but the green sky.

I hope this year isn't as bad as last year. It hit 24 degrees on May 9.

I ran the sprinklers all night to try to save the apple and strawberry blossoms.
This year I'm saying "screw it, if I want apples I'll go to Krogers."

The snow from last night melted off today, but I just looked outside - 4:30 PM April 21 and it's 31 degrees and snowing like hell outside.
