It is snowing here right now! Been snowing off and on all day...almost 6" so far...everything had melted, and the tulips were breaking through! Supposed to be 47 tomorrow. Hopefully "sprinter" won't be here too long! DH had to put the pickup in 4WD to get home once he left the county road and headed up the side streets!

It is 6:15 AM. Yesterday we had blizzard conditions in St. Paul, but most of it has melted. Snowed last night and there is a dusting on the ground, but it also rained, so I don't know what the streets and sidewalks are doing. But, we do not let it bother us at all -- No, No, No! Because on Wednesday it is going to be in the 70's!!!! Typical Minnesota. Can't complain anymore. Have done my complaining, actually, I quit in December sometime. Nothing you can do about it and you know the sun is going rise in the east in the morning and we just take it from there.
The only sad thing is that I had a deck built in last week. It was done this past Saturday. It has rocking chairs on the deck. I have sewing to do out there and it is killing me having to stay in the house because it is the middle of April and it is 28 degrees outside right now!!!!!!!! But I am NOT complaining. Maybe I'll complain when it is 98 degrees here and super humid. Naw, I love hot weather. One thing for sure, I put away the shovels and I'll be doggoned if I will bring them out again. And I packed the winter jackets away and refuse to take them out again.
Have a great day. Edie

Went out to my car this morning and it's frozen over, the grass and plants are all covered in a light dusting of snow.
Is this April or January? I thought we were done with all cold and bad weather in NJ since it reached 80 this past weekend. What is going on with Mother Nature?

That will solve Mother Nature's problems and make us all feel better as we continue to trash our little space ship as it whirls along in space. froggyintexas

Yep, that's why SE Michigan (Detroit metro area) beat the 1880-1881 record for snowfall in one winter -- by 1.5". We got about 95 inches this year. What was the excuse in 1880? Steam engines? I know the climate is changing some, people may be responsible -- but sometimes I wonder how all the previous climate changes happened, the glacial ages, etc. when there weren't people with cars around. My grandfather always said "It's just like the bible, 7 good years and 7 bad." This was a bad year. We've had some fair ones lately, so am going to make sure the snow blowers works next year!
