It's official! SNOW FREE!

The last pile of snow has finally melted! Granted, it was a small (size of a queen size mattress) pile in the shadow of the barn, but, it was a lousy reminder of this past winter. Plus, mud season is almost over too.

Here is hoping my northern neighbors will be free soon as well...

Wow - amazing how diverse our country is weather wise...we have already made it to the 80s and the AC has been running quite a bit already. I lived in Ohio as a young kid, so I do miss some of the big snow for the kids to play in. We had a couple of snow events, but only a few of inches and it usually melts by the end of the day.

Just got rid of our patch of show last weekend. Drove over it 2 weeks ago when we took our first trip! Hopefully we will have nice weather the next few weeks. Hope all you in the mid west are safe. Been watching the news about the tornadoes out your way.

I live in Ontario, Canada and we are snow free. At least the part I live in. Now we just need warmth. May some of you in the south can send some up. Mike and Rose my brother lives in that area and you got hammered with snow this year.

Cheers

We have had record snowfalls this month and more is forecast for tomorrow. Lucky for us that the temps are not that cold and the snow melts during the day but we still have a good blanket on the ground.

I'm sitting in our TT toasty and warm watching it snow right now. The ground it almost covered in white. Hopefully it'll get warmer as the day goes on.

It's snowing here in Calgary this morning. I don't think it has ever stopped this winter.

It's been snowing all day with a bit of ice pellets thrown in for excitement. At least it's not sticking to the ground.

The bad thing for us is that there is lots of snow in the high country,(like 20ft), and we can't set up on our river lot until it melts. We don't want a flooded trailer.

Well guess what. It snowed, hailed, rained and the sun even peaked out for a few seconds today. Tonights low will be 28*. If we make it till April 22 without hitting 60* we will have set a new record. We should have stayed in Az.

It is snowing here in north Iowa with 4 - 6 inches forecast by evening. Good thing I haven't put the snow blower away yet.

Another 6 - 10" for us late today thru Wednesday. I think we're going to skip spring and go from winter straight to summer.
