Good morning everyone!
its the beginning of April and its snowing here in Eastern Ontario, all I can say is GRRRR! Is it ever going to stop!!!!!

quiltstringz 04-02-2013 05:17 AM

Well we are supposed to get rain but it has been warm and sunny here the last couple of day! No haha as when summer arrives it will be a hot one I am sure.

alleyoop1 04-02-2013 05:36 AM

It's sunny and warm.

nygal 04-02-2013 05:37 AM

I am in Eastern NY and we had a dusting of snow this morning. Winter just doesn't want to leave!!

QuiltE 04-02-2013 05:41 AM

Yes ... same thing here in Western Ontario. Yesterday when I was on the roads, it was near whiteouts, while blowing across the roads. Overnight, we had enough cover that the grass, lane and sidewalk are covered yet again! :) My daffodils had started to poke thru the lawn, and now are saying, I think I should go back from whence I came!! :D

I smiled at your picture ... yes, perfect for the upside down weather we are having!!! :)

Upstate NY has about 1-1.5" of snow! Just since 5am this morning! Be a duck! Let it roll off your back.

running1 04-02-2013 05:48 AM

cold and rainy here... but we are so thankful for any rain we get... still in serious drought here... but the forecast is for several rainy spells during next few weeks... yay!!!

You never know here in Oklahoma... my birthday is next week and it snowed one year (a long time ago) on my birthday!! we'll take the moisture any way we can!!!

Abby'smom 04-02-2013 06:02 AM

In contrast to your weather, we are expecting temps in the mid/hi 70s and maybe some rain which will be gratefully received -- summer will soon be upon us with hot, dry weather

Tartan 04-02-2013 06:05 AM

​Sunny day here today and although still cool, spring is definitely in the air.

gramajo 04-02-2013 06:19 AM

I'm 40 miles south of Chicago and it's sunny here, expected to be near 40 today. Yesterday's high of 40 was the coldest April 1 here in 20 years.

Jan in VA 04-02-2013 06:26 AM

In my part of Virginia it's sunny (yes!) and about 45 degrees at 10:30am.
But yesterday, the wind!!! Heavens, I truly thought it would be the time the additions to the cottage would fall right off.

Warmer, not much, and sunny today. Suppose to warm up some, still below freezing at night.

pollyjvan9 04-02-2013 07:41 AM

YEA, it is raining and thundering and some lightening...rain, rain, rain!!! Going to be in the 40's, a bit cool but the rain is worth it.

huntannette 04-02-2013 07:50 AM

Oh my my.....I live in Northern Ontario and yesterday it was minus 26 degrees celcius.....last year same time it was plus 26 degrees celcius....sheshhhh....we had another 5 inches of snow over the weekend just to add to our 5 foot snowbanks....wish we only had a dusting of snow as welll.....lol

crafty pat 04-02-2013 08:08 AM

Going to be in the 80's again today, really praying for some rain this afternoon and tonight.

QuiltnNan 04-02-2013 08:25 AM

i don't think that posting your picture upside down will keep the snow from falling to the ground LOL

We were ALL spoiled by last year's extreme early spring.
Time for you to head south!!! .... that is to Southern Ontario!! :)
Remember me, when you come and maybe we can meet up?

Quilts rock 04-02-2013 09:16 AM

Sorry for the upside down picture but that would go along with the day I am having, lol!

Quilts rock 04-02-2013 09:19 AM

Maybe northern Ontario could meet with eastern and western Ontario, lol!

Chasing Hawk 04-02-2013 09:26 AM

It looks overcast here in Central Oregon. But in 5 minutes it could be sunny or a blizzard could start. We never know, this is why we keep a survival pack in the trucks.

Shadowirish 04-02-2013 10:43 AM

Here in the Pacific Northwest it is gray and lite sprinkles after 3whole days of gorgeous sunshine...wish it would come back.

Please send your Ontario cousins a Chinook from the west! :D


Currently -2C with a feels like of -9C.

With snow in the forecast thru to Sunday ... the final day of the long range!

And then? :eek:

nativetexan 04-02-2013 01:00 PM

ha, ha. is that upside down or a reflection? it's slightly raining here and now trying hard to snow. but it's about 47 degrees outside so the snow doesn't have a chance.

richardswife 04-02-2013 06:53 PM

Have had nice spring like weather, which makes me afraid we are in for a LONG HOT SUMMER.:(

katigirl 04-02-2013 09:21 PM

We got 2 inches both yesterday and today. Enough already!!!!

Grace MooreLinker 04-03-2013 05:58 AM

We have warmer weather, but the rain is due back by Thursday. Trying to get my back yard mowed, it's to tall for my mower, need a couple of milk cows to stake out there for the day. No goats they eat everything, I want my flowers (::

ziegamomma 04-03-2013 06:29 AM

We are supposed to have rain today. That is good news, we raise rice in this part of Texas and we need the water desperately. Last night we had rain, marble sized hail and a few golf ball sized ones. I moved my tomato plants (in pots) as fast as I could!

SouthPStitches 04-03-2013 06:48 AM

Same thing here in central NY. Its snowing and is a brisk 24 degrees.

huntannette 04-03-2013 06:52 AM

I know .... BTW I called your Bptn dealer about the Tiara! He doesn't have it yet, though is planning an event when it does come. You came for CreativFestival last year, didn't you?

jeaninmaine 04-03-2013 07:41 AM

37F here, sunny, cold and windy.

huntannette 04-03-2013 08:45 AM

Yes, I did.....and there is a possibility I might make it again this year.....will let you know if I do.....I`m not too sure what you mean about the Tiara???

IBQUILTIN 04-03-2013 09:32 AM

Here in the mountains in Ca it is supposed to get into the high 70's today, but be in the low 50's tomorrow. There is no predicting what it is going to do, I just try to smile and enjoy each day in its own

huntannette 04-03-2013 09:50 AM

wow....looked it up online.....you shouldn`t have mentioned it......now i want to see it.....lol

Being that you're such good "friends" with this dealer, maybe you could get us a 2-for-1 deal!
**giggles**

Too bad we didn't live closer ... we could become Royalty together and share a machine!!! :)

huntannette 04-03-2013 11:01 AM

Sunny and warm here in Florida. Rain, rain, rain again tomorrow though.
