The WE2's Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 I do believe spring 2017 has arrived here...at least we're working in the garden like it has! 1 Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It's in the high 60's here today and storming right now. Yesterday I got the grass mowed for the first time this year. The rain will make it grow fast. Sometimes in the spring I have to mow it nearly twice a week. Ugh. We are getting hail now. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Very warm here, had some rain. Supposed to get more tonight or tomorrow, but who knows for sure? Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 The drought is officially over here in California. We have actually been getting 'weather' as in rain and more rain and then sunny days and then thunderstorms and then sunny days . It's kind of nice. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It was 80 degrees here to day. Wish I could have enjoyed it but I slept all day. I'm not sick or anything but I just couldn't stay awake. I got tired of fighting it so I went to bed, turned the fan on (I love a fan) and just slept. Hope I'm not up all night now. Quote Link to comment

I call those "crash and burn" sessions! I usually do them at night...in fact, did one two nights ago. Went to bed at 8:30 and slept until 7 next morning Edited April 21, 2017 by The WE2's 1 Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 95 today, with an intense whirlwind that whipped through the yard. Weather man said it is supposed to cool off again soon. I was out working and had to quit. The heat was making me feel weak. Came in and did a bunch of work. Quote Link to comment
TheCG Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 High today is 93. We've already had 2 hail storms. Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Ick, hail. The weather forecast has been updated. There is the possibility we will break 100 in the next week. Quote Link to comment

Jeepers Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 It was 30 degrees this morning. It's only 59 now. Supposed to warm up the end of this week though. I need to mow again and I think I can fix my mail box that the city snow plow knocked over. I'm hoping a couple of bags of dirt will get it to stand upright again. I'm pretty sure the post isn't broken. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well Springtime In The Rockies is doing it's usual thing. We've had about a FOOT of snow in the past 2 days. It poured down snow yesterday and some this morning. The first few inches have melted and the next couple inches are soggy near the warmer ground. The air has been between 10 degrees last nite and 17 degrees daytime. So far, lights have blinked but the power [and furnace + pellet stove] are still on. A lot of heavy work to clear off both vehicles to move them outta the way. Neighbor-friend comes to plow. This heavy wet stuf will melt but more is coming early next week. Better to get the main load of INCHES out of the driveway. My folks' blacktop driveway is melting their foot of snow pretty well. GLAD my dad decided not to try the mushy stuff with his snowblower today. We aren't clearing anything except to get gates and doors open. Trudging thru the rest - wait for melt. And folks...this is normal. I can practically hear the pasture grass bursting to grow once the sun comes back out tomorrow.... {that's a song, right?} Hey, one must keep up optimism when we've been enjoying warm and my brother reports they are 96 degrees in DC today. I think I'd much rather have snow. I'd be dead in 96 degrees. MtRider ....arms falling off or I'd wave..... 1 Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I really like the snow but I want it over with by March. If it lasts much into March I get depressed. Maybe it's because I get anxious to get out of the house to do things. It's only 45 here today with lots of rain. It had better not snow! 1 Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 Rain and more rain...about 50 in our neck of the woods. Yesterday we de-cluttered, today we loafed...other than make a trip to the homestead to make sure the sump pump was working. Oh yeah, BIG time! Quote Link to comment
Annarchy Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 The forecast is saying we will hit triple digits for the first time this year. Summer is here, it has been averaging mid 80 - 90's with gusty winds. Quote Link to comment
snapshotmiki Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 70 degrees right now, but it's been in the mid to upper 80's and with the humidity here it's no fun at all! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It got up to 83 here today with low humidity. It was 45 yesterday. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 After single digits two nites ago.....we're a balmy 45 degrees today. Few patches of melting snow still visible. Mud. Nice and wet. No wildfires. MtRider ...can you tell my life wraps around the issue of FIRE ---- NO FIRE? Oh yeah! Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 It's only 60 here today. It's really cloudy and the wind is blowing cold. I wouldn't be surprised if we got a storm out of it. Quote Link to comment
The WE2's Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Other than one day of relief...it's been rain, rain and more rain for over a week. We're not flooded but some of our areas have been devastated. Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yesterday the high was 92...today it cooled down to 91. Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 The foot of snow is all gone days ago. Been climbing back up in temperature. Made 60 today....and sunny. MtRider Quote Link to comment
