Spring is Finally Coming!

[HOrnbrod]

One of the best signs the spring is near is when the iris and daffodils start popping out of the ground. We have had more snow here this winter than any I can remember.

10" can seem like quite a bit if you're not used to it.. :rotf:

[HOrnbrod]

Hey - I'm used to it coming from the frozen north too. :D But it's these local fools driving around in it crashing into each other that scares me. It's like bumper cars...............

[Geonovast]

I hope you got something else to bum around in during the... *ahem* "storms". Your truck is waaaaaaay too pretty to get hit.

 

Either that, or I recommend several hundred yards of bubble wrap.

We got a foot of the white stuff yesterday.... No spring in Connecticut... :doh: :wall: :doh: :wall: :doh: :wall: YET!

10"? A foot?

Pfffft.

We've gotten over 5 feet this year and winter usually isn't over till mid april. Spring is a loooong time away for me

I usually take the bike except when I make a beer run. :cheers: Put a new windshield on it last month and it's not too bad.

Your talkin' season, I'm talkin' one storm! We have been lucky, getting missed by a couple douses. But IIRC our total here in CT is just about 36" for the season.

Aaaaah. I'll step off my soapbox now :P

I seem to recall, two winters ago, Madison, WI got a record 140ish inches during the winter.

 

I'd have to verify that.. but that's the number my brain is telling me. :hmm:

Last year or the year before the wi/il area got a crap ton of snow... I remember being called out to plow 28 times in Feb. :ack: Sucked, but boy howdy were those paychecks nice. 8)

Baltimore beat Buffalo in the snow amount as of this past weekend :D

 

Even over the 'average' of 62" we get every year :roll:

 

Now we are not know as the "Snow Capital of the World" :clapping:

 

About time some other area "share" the snow we have to put up with :fs1:

 

Mr. Hornbrod, good to see pictures like that........now once we get out of the below 30* everyday, I'll be thinking of that :yes:

hope springs eternal.....

 

Don, we've actually had songbirds here in my part of VA for the last week or so. I can't describe how beautiful it is hearing them start calling up about 1/2 hour before dawn in the morning.

 

Time to switch the feed in the birdfeeders, I suppose.

This has been a cold winter for here Jeff, and I always keep the bird feeders going all winter. The cardinals and redbirds usually stick around, even saw early bluebirds arriving last week checking out the gourd houses they annually nest in. These were originally planned for purple martins, but the bluebirds always run them off. The Canadian geese never leave the lake out back, and keep up their racket all winter, accompanied by the mallards. The hummingbirds and gold finches will be here next month to continue their turf wars.

 

Good stuff setting on the back deck sucking Miller HL and watching the birds. :cheers:

[HOrnbrod]

Dayem, not yet Lenard - still freezing temps. Tomorrow it might go up to 50 though - might give it a shot. :cheers:

Me too, but I switch the feed type out when the season changes. Suet cakes go out in the cold too, but those come down when it starts warming up.

80 degrees today.

after reading all the post it looks like global warming :nuts: has hit only one place so far.

 

46*F here in the south normally around 60 this time of year. and still no sign of this strange white stuff you guys call snow :rotf:

[CWLONGSHOT]

I just checked the temp..seemed pretty warm....its freakin' 47degrees!! Freaky New England weather!!!

 

If you close your eyes, go outside and take a deep breath..kinda feels like spring is near today!!..Then open them to a winter wonderland with about 10" of white stuff.... :rotf: :dunno:
