Amen, most of the snow is melted here in Indiana! Current temp is about 59 degrees. I've been out on the driveway tearing down an engine Hopefully a couple more weeks will see us in the mid 60s!

Winter is over and tornado season is here:



I'm about right where the "5" is on the I-65 symbol...

It's supposed to be rough this afternoon/evening...

I think they over hyped the storms a little. They let schools out at noon. Its 3:15 now and its only rained a total of 5 minutes at the most. The weather people here like to keep everyone scared.

6"of snow yesterday another 6" forecast for today. Blizzard warnings good till about noon tomorrow. Basketball tourney in Grand Forks postponed. Depending on the wind I'll be in the hot tub tonight with a few bottles of Killian's and the warden. Looks like quite a few weather related closings tomorrow

8" of snow last night after freezing weather for the last week.

With the rain, snow, freezing weather, wind storms, power outages, school closures we have had so far, I am VERY ready for this winter to be done.

The time the snowpack is replenished so you have water for the rest of the year.
