Snow: Make It Stop

[legion]

It's unusual for us to get a snow storm past early March around here. We may get a single flurry in April that melts as it falls every few years.

We got hit with 9 inches of snow on March 24th. That melted during the week and we got hit with got hit with another 3 inches of snow on April 1st (Easter Sunday). That melted during the week and we got hit with another couple inches of snow last night (April 8th). It's supposed to hit 70º during the week, then next Saturday night the temperature is supposed to drop like a rock and we're supposed to get snow for the third Sunday/fourth weekend in a row.

I've lived in Illinois on and off for 32 years. I don't ever recall having this much snow in April.

Welcome to the club.
We are finally getting above the freezing point for most of the week and have been dumped on it seems like every single week.
Huge cold air mass sitting from the arctic down to the central States. Going to take a while to move that out and melt the snow....

I realized a long time ago, April is the single most disappointing month of the year around here.

We had two inches on Saturday morning, it was gone by afternoon. Then we had sleet on Sunday morning, it was gone by afternoon. I hate the winter. Where is my global warming Al Gore?

Forecast for the Upper Peninsula is between 20 and 33 inches next weekend with temps in 20's. Looking forward to some warm weather to wrap up some Pcar projects and get back on the road. Who knows when I can open my place in NW WI. Lakes are still thick with ice.
May have to sneak in one more ski weekend on the U.P. but I am ready for spring.

I'm already sick of next winter!

Yup. Its strange how that global warming has turned out. Coldest march month here in Sweden in ages.

Late ski season... so there's that.

[red-beard]

That stupid Rodent in Pennsylvania was right...

I snowmobiled 20 minutes from the house last week. Snow-tel site up there claims a base of 121 inches right now.....We rode on fresh that day.

Still enjoying biblical rain here on the wet coast... anyone want to trade their ark for a 911SC?

Staying put in 85-degree FL for an extra month due to the crap weather to the north. Supposed to be in KY by now. The question is, will it snow for the Derby in May?

I was out all day Saturday between the snowflakes, running the log splitter with 2 sweatshirts, a hoody, a stocking cap, and gloves, and still had to go in 3 different times to wram up (30 degrees, with 25 mph wind). Most Aprils around here people are mowing thier yards by now, and the trees are starting to sprout leaves, in many places, but this year, the grass is still brown, and the ground frozen solid.....ARGGHHHH !

My water bottle sitting on the fender of my tractor actually developed ice crystals in it.....so ready for warmer weather.

Snow here Saturday and again today (Monday). I don’t think this winter is ever going to end. I see friends who are normally happy being visibly more depressed and angry and I’m afraid it’s beginning to affect me too.

I don't believe I have S.A.D.S, but my mood is noticably better/lighter when the sun makes a rare appearence....BTW, light snow all day today again, so don't lean on my last nerve...OK ? LOL !

Crappy thing is I wager we are in for sending major water south for a lot more flooding again.
