I can't believe this. It is still snowing. tomorrow is the 15th of April, spring's been almost four weeks late. I think they cancelled it due to economic fallout from greedy people on Wall Street. But what did we little folk do? We just been trying to get by, help one another, help anybody we can. We deserve spring. Send those bad guys to siberia and let us have our sunshine and light at least. A fall out effect for me from all this cold wet weather is I get Arthritic. I bought a little trailer to use as a camp on our shore lot. I might hook er up and peddle south until someone tells me they rescheduled spring and when. Then, I'll peddle back, maybe.lol

Wow Tyno. More snow? I really feel sorry for you. Where I live in Michigan most of our snow is now gone but it doesn't look very spring-like out there yet. This in-between snow and spring green-up stage is bad enough but the thought of more snow would make me cry! Hang in there. Even though it feels like it will never happen, spring will come. I just wish I could tell you that it would be today. Sorry. Lisa

I'm sorry your still getting snow Tyno. Here I have been complaining cause it's not in the 60s or 70s yet so I can't imagine still having snow. I would send you some sunshine but haven't seen it for a few days.

 

luv and hugs

Sending our sunshine your way. We went from horrid windy cold to now having 60 today. I know this is central NY and it will not last for long.

You're still getting snow??!!?? My goodness-where are you?!

I am super sorry to hear that you're still getting the nasty white stuff. We had a few inches fall last week, but they disappeared the next day and now we're looking at getting some real spring weather here finally. It's been such an awful winter, I am SO happy that it's finally come to an end! I will be sending good warm sunshine thoughts your way and hoping your snow goes away, too!

Tyno, I sympathize. yesterday's snow fall is now gone but we still have patches here on the ground in southcentral Alaska. I was excited it hit 44F yesterday but was back down in the high 20s at night. The shifting barometric perssure really does a number on my pain, so looking forward to the shifting barometric pressure of spring and summer - at least will be warmer!

Well, I live in Nova scotia. We have hugh chunks of ice from the Northern Polar caps (sadly) in our bays and harbors. i think that has something to do with our everlasting winters. I guess we are supposed to get up to 10 degrees during the next few days (celsius) over the next couple of days, but it still drops to -5 or -10 at night. Not so good for camping.

Nova Scotia is colder than southcentral Alaska!

Man oh man, Tyno!! Sorry you're still having winter. I guess things should start warming up soon. I had a good chuckle at your thoughts of how and why you're still having winter though.

Wishing you warmth!!!

Yup, Nova Scotia colder than Alaska. Weird eh. At one point we had this effect from the "Gulf Stream", where we had almost balmy weather April - November. That was twenty years back. Then we went through this period around 1998 - 2005 where it was cold all year round. And rain, unbelievable. So, now we have this mixed bag of wait five minutes and it changes. Snow, sun, sleet hail, rain, sun, snow. All in the same day, two days in a row. what's that? Ya just start to get your snowshoes laced up, then ya run for the umbrella, then you take off three sweaters, then hunt for the bathing suit and before you know it, you're lacing up the snowshoes. Whew, no wonder I'm tired all the time. PS. Come between the 15th and 22 of July, it's wonderful here.

Brrrr! I am cold just reading about it. I found out Nova Scotia is where my family is from. Guess I am glad I don't live there, although I hear it is beautiful. Hope it warms up soon, Its work to try and keep warm.

Well, there was wet snow in Seattle on Monday and Tuesday. Grr. Every time we think Spring has arrived, Winter returns.

Yesterday the sun appeared. Last night it dropped to 0 Celsius. Don't plant your corn yet.  Nova Scotia is beautiful. We always had better weather than we now have. Truely, our bays and inlets are ice jammed up until May. Like hugh ice cubes floating around out there. Therefore, the temps are more extreme than before. We had the gulf stream to moderate the temps. heavens knows where that went. Probably flooding someone's basement in Cincinnatti. Anywho, today also looks good. So, keep fingers crossed we don't have any more snow.

We have family that lives in Fairbanks Alaska and I'm sorry guys but you couldn't pay me to live up there.

 

Everyone else is using surf boards and Tyno is using ice boards. shakehead

Ice burgs, silly.

Hi again Tyno. I sure hope that spring time has finally come to your part of the world and stayed. If it makes you feel any better it is snowing again where I live in Michigan. Some areas could get 6 or more inches! It isn't unusual for us to get snow this late but it sucks anyway especially after 3 days of 70 degree weather. I have daffodils blooming in my yard and they don't look too happy right now as the heavy wet snow comes down. I hope they survive long enough to see warm temps again later in the week. I will keep dreaming of spring. Lisa

Hey there geckho; Yes we have had 4 plus days of sun, but not all together, of course. Instead we get cold (ice frozen on dogs outside water dish), mornings and then the sun appears in the afternoon. We had one day of rain, interspersed. So, I have been outside more, am house hunting again, trying to decide where I want/need to be. Old folks now in old folks home, a long, long road, that one. Son's about to set out on launch #2; he first attempt floundered and fell, due to his falling in love hard, with a cheerleader. Live and learn. Those early broken hearts are the absolute worst. As we age, at least in my case we get a little more cautious, and a lot pickier. Anywho, I've been going through such an ordeal, I have to focus inward and figure where I need to be, to meet oncoming challenges. My fibro is a terrific challenge in moving forward. Failure after failure on the job front has left me cynical about getting off of disability, and into the workforce. However, I will try to remain openminded. If I had a job where I set my own hours, ie. made my own appointments, that would be great. I had that when the boys were small so I could take them to doctor's appts., swimming lessons, tennis, cubs, gymnastics, well you know. I'll remain alert to an opportunity. I could do research. I know several folks on this forum do that.
