It's been below zero just about every night for 3 weeks. High temps just edging over 30deg. The good thing is the frost has gotta be 3 ft into the ground killing moles, bugs, germs all kinds of critters. In the Spring that's just 12 days away (but never acts like it) when things start melting and buds start to grow there's a smell that's unlike anything the ground starts to aerate and you can tell things are waking up. But today its 12 deg out. Spring is my favorite time of year.

That sounds lovely. My girlfriend would like us to get hammered with snow at least once this season but I don't think that's very likely, I can see yellow in my forsythia buds.

It's getting on my nerves and I just want to go tap my maples. That's a sure sign of spring.

81 sunny degrees here today, with a 16 mph breeze, and I think I saw the Trumpster on his way flying home from the Winter White House!

79 degrees, baybay. A gorgeous day on the East Coast. Some cherry blossoms are blooming and the fresh air in my home is divine.

I can smell spring, I caught it 2 days ago and wasn't sure but today it's everywhere. In another week the buds will come out, the birds will come back and the bulbs in the ground will come out through the snow.  I love me some Spring,some change, some life!

It is a gorgeous, nearly 80 degree day but all good things must end and rain will be moving in.

Yeah. On moving day too. I hope that is not a bad omen for my new life/apartment.

It's not! Don't think that way. It's a cleansing.

Better a cleansing rain than a baptism by fire I suppose. At least it's not snowing.

I bet the weather at your place is very dynamic, how far are you from the Atlantic?

I don't know the exact miles but it takes about 45 minutes to get there. I'm closer to the Chesapeake Bay.

Bad weather moving in later today. Why can't I have normal spring storms like other people. Waaaahh. Yes, I'm whining because this shit terrifies me.
