That snowstorm was a good start to winter here in Peterborough, Ontario. Did it meet your Montreal standards, Richard? There's a seriously slippery layer of ice on all the roads, due to the quick transition from snow to rain, then freezing. Still snowing now. Almost good enough to put my skates on and glide cross-country into town. Winter is here!

Winter The air must be discontented too, as it throws jagged icy daggers at my face. Mottled black and grey sky, echoes depression like a chorus of sympathetic, yet helpless friends. The snow has no choices, or opinions. It simply lives it's life as the snows before. Born of clouds, it falls through air, joining it's siblings on the ground below. Dogs and Children revel in it's family reunion. It's kinder to them, I thought while shivering. Frozen breath and wet clammy eyes, watching a world turn from green and brown to white. Age and Winter do not mix, I mused again. Like Cognac and Ginger Ale. The fit's all wrong. This scene is for the Canines and kids. The rest of us just trudge along.

wasn't too bad this time, even find a place to park my car on the street.

How's everybody after that storm? Need something? Let us know.

We have had 12 straight days of mornings colder than 45 heck even the iguanas are freezing.cold cold cold There were snow flurries about 5 miles from my house. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

I lived in Fla in the 70's and 80's and it snowed there once before, Jan, 73, but in all my years of living in Fla, it never got as cold as it has been these last 2 weeks. Now in NC and it snowed up here 15" last month and has been cold as a witch's ... since then, hasn't snowed or been this cold here since 77, from what I've been told. Lets hope it warms up a bit when furthur and the party rolls into town in Feb. Peace, love, dead.

at least it feels that way...high 40's melting all of the snow!

it has been mild.... a few days below zero but now it is suppose to be in the 30's. .....

Somewhere on the wetlands of Whatcom County in the state of Washington the progression of the seasons has lost it's way....Spring arrived late January/early February,now winter is back with a vengeance.It is ten p.m. and the temperature has plummeted to 39 degrees and there is the threat of a dusting of snow in the Mt. Baker foothills....

It's been 55 and showery in the heartland, with Whatcom weather coming in on Thursday night: could be our last snow. My son is flying out to SeaTac to consider putting his Kitsap rental house on the market. He had the misfortune of buying "high" in 2005, and now walks the tightrope of keeping the value above the mortgage obligation. Cool wet weather out there will restrict him to indoor projects and never-ending blackberry vine-cutting!! At least Silverdale Brewery is up the road where he can find a tall glass of Whoopass!

It's the middle of the first week of Spring here in Bellingham,Washington and it looks and feels like the real deal....so far....

We got a foot of wet slushy snow last night that pretty much destroyed all my little trees :( but is melting away to nothing today. "Here's my half a dollar if you dare .. double twist when you hit the air. Look at Julie down below .. the levee doing the dopaso"

The sun was so toasty today that I got TWO loads of laundry washed and dried! Instead of the usual 3-4 days it takes wet laundry to dry in my bathroom!********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

enuf to get a mouse out cutting the lawn...'sposed to be record temps sometime this week....but it's only March so that doesn't mean much. We'll see after the day of the fool, next week.

here in central Ontario - record highs for this time of year. The first week of April usually yields our last snowfall of the year, not mid 20C. Nobody's complaining, though my body feels it's strange. Not a lot of water in the system - the melt was way early - the maple sap run has been interrupted, on & off again. Wierd weather...

all the passes are at 29 degrees, while the lower elevations are getting rain. temp was 42 until 7 am and then went to 38 here in Tacoma. of course nothing like the inundation occurring in the east.

Rain was coming down in sheets and blowing sideways this morning, seems to be letting up a little now. Besides sunny and warm I love a good storm.

sunny and a warm 77 degrees. use to be around 40.And warmer to come tomorrow!

First time we've had rain more than 3mm in 3 months! We're in practically drought conditions, not typical for our spring "rainy" season. Hard to complain with the beautiful sunshine all the time, though. I bet we're in for another cold, wet summer. Seems like our spring and summer have become reversed these past 4 or so years. And our cold winter's turned to mush. I think we should change the poem: April flowers bring May showers.

in southern Germany this morning. Grey skies, spring drizzle, and around 50ish degrees F********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean. Mark Twain

Its gonna rain.. but its not raining yet

POURING right now

SUNNY right now! Just a reminder of what Memorial Day weekend is really all about: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day may they rest in peace

after the rainiest spring in my 11 years on the Oregon coast it looks as though summer is here. The first couple days of Memorial day weekend were pretty nice though. Me and the doggie hiked to Blossom Bar in the Wild Rogue Wilderness area. It was only a four mile round trip but since Sheba is almost 17 years old it's about the most we can do. Am getting ready now to go climb a peak that's 3,040 ft. high and only 3 miles from the ocean. Spent a little time on the mountain Spent a little time on the hill Things went down we don't understand But I think in time we will

frickin muggy here in nashville today!

Outside is even hotter, and at least the house give protection from the sun, butam feeling pretty yukky about it-like a 300 pound slug actually. It is the 11th or 12th day like this, and much as I swore I hated them; I am fantasizing about air conditioning-especially when the temperature in the house is 95 or so at midnight. ********************************** By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity -- another man's I mean.

The Perseid metor showers have started and will peak on the night of the 11th-12th and the crescent moon will be setting early. I went out to try and see the northern lights that were supposed to come our way a couple nights ago. I didn't see them but did see over 20 shooting stars by midnight. The weather? Sunny and in the 70's.

It's been a bad year for tomatoes here in northwest Washington....

First 3 days cool but muggy, went to Maine cooler than hot 92 this morning. now back in Beantown and hot plus most people don't have good A/Cs. In Miami A/C is a religion. And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Marye, your comment on the weather for tonight's game got me to wondering what Jerry might have said in response to the words of Tigerlillie's fave philosopher, Samuel Langhorne Clemens when he said "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco"....

Have you ever seen so may cyclones spinning out of Africa before? Will Earl, Fiona or Gaston make it to the (USA) east coast ?

thought this thread was about the jazz band lol however its nice here today.

East coasters beware! Fiona will fizzle out while Earl churns along up the US eastern coast. Let's see what Gaston will do behind Fiona... I'll be on the beach in FL next week....

Nothing else to say. My neck of the woods normally has about 29 days a year of 90F or higher temps. Today should be the 67th of 2010. Add that to 0.2" of rain so far this month (normally 4").....

Over Red Rocks! Low 80's and lots o' sun! Although its been getting below 50 at night as a warning.. Heading up there in a bit, hope to see some of you and wishing everyone a grand time. "The dire wolf collects his due while the boys sing round the fire"
