Title: Hey, it's spring dammit!
Post by: Sasquatch Jim on March 24, 2018, 01:13:05 PM

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!

Dusty,

I'll be talking to Scotty and Randy about it. Sounds like a fine place, Hopin to make it work this year.

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.

Round here it's "April comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb....and May showers bring June flowers...I never plant vegies before June 5...typically last killing frost is June 3.

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

NOT!
