Spring is getting closer ...

It went from 70 to 30 like the weather saw a state trooper here 🥶 It'll at least look cool on the temperature blanket my wife is crocheting.

It was nearly 80 degrees here yesterday, and we had a monster tornado tear through just south of Kankakee, and went deep into Indiana. It was in a supercell that formed over Pontiac, IL and just kept going. 6 inch hailstone found near Kankakee.

Right now it is 36 and trying to snow/sleet.
This coming Monday night is to be around 10 degrees.
The month of March in Illinois...
WOW!
Boy those things must have done a lot of damage. Feel bad for those affected. Homes, cars, roofs ...
 
We have been hitting upper 70s to 80+ the last 10(?)days, way above normal temperatures. As of right now this Thursday morning the wind is blowing, sky is dark and I guess that cold front others have talked about is but a few hours away. Thankfully by the time it gets here we wont see major events like huge tornado's (small one always possible) and six inch hail, like that is crazy.
Now we are about to get back to the 40 and 50 degree nights and 60 degree days for a while.
A few days ago at the beach. - There were a few people in the water, not for me, water temperature is only upper 50's this time of year.

We had an inch of snow that froze, then melted. The only snow all year. Spring has almost sprung...... Looks like Southern CA is getting some mid summer heat. East coast getting a cold snap again.

I'm sick of rain, but compared to what some areas are subjected, I'll take it.

Yeah, Same thing here yesterday. An inch of snow and it will be gone the same day. We're going to be cooler for a couple of weeks, but it beats the freezing rain.
 
I just spent a Week in SoCal AFTER some unusual rainy weather. VERY green and beautiful. I've never seen Catalina so green. Up here we have a progression of flowering. Some of the early flowering plum trees and of course the bulbs are up. Down there EVERYTHING is blooming. Very nice...........but it's getting into the 90°F range already. NO thanks!

Up here, it's 32°F right now. Ugggggggggg
 
Currently sitting in WI, waiting for the (alleged) 12-18" of snow that's coming our way tonight/tomorrow. Where's spring, again?
yes it will be a FARCE as stated on another post, look for six inch's and rain/ice. they just predict this to stir up people.

Believe it or not, down here when we have 90 degrees in the early summer evening we talk about how comfortable it is. California is always green like that in March. Absolutely beautiful.

Yes I remember many rainy March days from my childhood. Miracle March! Just the last bunch of trips down super dry sticks in a fellas parched throat

Yeah- I'm on night shift (10pm-6am) so I'll be leaving a good 45 minutes early and will have to decide on either braving the snowpocalypse Sunday morning or just sleeping at work and get some overtime plowing in the afternoon. Not the first time I've been stranded at the plant during my 35 years there. Have my camping cot, pillow, blanket and teddy bear packed in the trunk.
 
Spring? What’s that?
