Hey, it's spring dammit!

I look out my window and it's 5 inches deep and still coming down. Damn groundhog lied when he said only 6 more weeks of winter.

I thought it was over, but it snowed on me all day yesterday, only two days after getting a bunch of plants into the ground.  Got that new EV all wet.

It snowed here Tuesday and Wednesday, 12" of accumulation by the time it ended. Has melted away nicely since then.

Man, am I ever glad to be back on the west coast.  In Toronto, we'd still have a month of snow ahead!

Cheers,
Shaun

Indeed, we have got to be very close to breaking old man Winters back!  The light at the end of the tunnel is growing brighter with each day!

In the low 30's here today.  Supposed to get warmer this week?

I'm not minding so much...  The aprilia is getting a new fuel gauge (out of warranty fix from aprilia on all Capos!! Thank you Piaggio!!) and valve inspection and a B11 should be in my garage with said aprilia in a couple weeks.   THEN let it get warm.

You people are lucky too have that snow. We have pollen here. Snow would be so much nicer.

NOT!
