We Can't Get Rid Of The White Stuff

[Warstud]

April 10th 2016

Hopefully this is the last of it.

This Afternoon
Snow before 2pm, then rain and sleet, possibly mixed with snow. High near 38. South southeast wind around 17 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow and sleet accumulation of around 2 inches.

Yep, we had 2" on ground when I got up at 6:30 yesterday morning. Was like 10f this morning and real icy out. Where is April weather?

This is getting really old, the snow and cold that is...
Must be payback for a relatively easy winter this year.

Last weekend: Saturday was in the 60's, so I started raking the yard. On Sunday temp got down to 30, and it decided to snow while I was raking the yard.

This weekend: It was 40 yesterday while I raked. I think today is closer to 50. But snow and freezing rain tonight, then back into the 50's.

Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.

I'm guessing the Detroit Tigers MLB game at home tonight against the Yankees, to be shown on ESPN TV, will get cancelled / postponed.

That's why 55 years ago when I turned 18 I packed up and moved southward from Wisconsin.

Mid 70s for an afternoon high and Sunny here in Southeast Alabama!

Ok, don't rub it in!

SrDriver, you sissyed out at 18?......too much cheese in your childhood.

Personally I'm too much of a sissy to live in the South. Heat and humidity year 'round? Bugs too?

My thing is the gnats. Its that time of year now.between 55-75 degrees they will destroy you and eat you alive.

Not me. I'd take zero-degree days over 90F+ days any time. Especially if humidity comes with the heat.

We get wet snow this evening. That looks like it though as the 2 week forecast is much milder.

This was a pretty good winter until April.

I'm a Yankee (Born in ME) and lived most of my live in the Mid Atlantic (PA,DE,NY) but also lived in the Midwest and in SoCal for some years as well, finally moved to the south east and even though I have been here for almost a decade I still have a hard time dealing with summers.
But it is nice to have relatively moderate winters.

Apparently it doesn't matter what Punxitawny Phil predicts, he's always wrong...

It moved down here in February. Now we're starting summer. (Gahhh.)

Way up here in the arctic region of western Canada, we are into our 3rd day of 71F+. Our winter lasted all of 2 weeks around Christmas. My snowplow has been dormant...thinking of putting it away.
