Has spring sprung?

[coach]

Well where I am in northern md it sure seems like it. About 70 yesterday and 68 today and sunny with a light breeze. I took advantage to do a little yard work. The roses are budding up and leafing out. Even hearing the motorcycles rumbling by says spring. Made it through another winter, this one with no snow. Not the usual where I am. Not trying to rub it in to anyone getting deluged or still bundled up. Just enjoying what God's thrown my way.

Yup, we skipped winter this year in N GA. No snow and many 70*+ days in Jan. and Feb. Supposed to be 75* tomorrow. I love it!

Here in the Northern midwest we are enjoying 60 degree weather, half the normal,
I was out raking some leaf buildup in my yard today, usually moving 8-10 inches of snow.
It's been a real nice record breaking warmup the last few weeks, but I feel there's going to be hell to pay for it before this winter is over.

It has been the same old stuff around here, and it gets monotonous too. Warm weather this, and warm weather that!

We got a skiff of snow last night. It's 47 degrees now, with only traces of snow in the shady areas. Yep, sounds like spring on the high desert to me. :mrgreen:

Daffodils been up around here in middle TN for 2 weeks now.

Bought my wife a new 'winter' coat for Christmas and she has yet to wear it. Dug out the cushions for the porch chairs. Time to start my 'tan' again.

Now they'll say there's selective global warming. Can't win!

Got all four motorcycles out today, the wife is off tomorrow so I'm taking off with her and we're gonna fling some lead!

In the high 50s here in Central NJ, we have had only two snowfalls, about 4" tops.

It has been warmer than usual here but I would be scared to say it is all over with. We may still get his with a late cold spell. I don't think it likely but I would be scared to say it couldn't happen. If we do get any snow here it is usually in March & it has been known to happen in April.

 

[Fox Mike]

Think this all a result of El Niño. I'll take all the warm winters there are. I have ALWAYS hated to shovel snow.

The Mrs. and I went to the gun club this afternoon. Big crowd at all the ranges: pistol, rifle, trap and skeet. Labrador retrievers swimming in the lake, someone's birthday party at the club house, and, oh, did I forget to mention mosquitos? Can this really be February?
We did a little fishing (not even a nibble), put 150 rds. through the Glock, and finally had an opportunity to sight in my M77 in 6.5x55 Swede that I bought last summer. Not a bad afternoon.

You guys making me jealous still winter here. This weekend was the annual Schoodic
Ice fishing Derby, hard water fishing is what some call it. Close to two ft. of ice on the lake. ps

Got a house on Cape Cod for sale. That would move you a wee bit further South. :roll:

It's snowing like you wouldn't believe this morning. Haven't seen the ground since Dec 8. Been one of the coldest winters in years here. Could use a little global warming.

The Texas Quince is in full bloom about a month early this year.

There was no winter this year in South Florida. Trump knows it also.

Trump needn't go to Florida, it is nearly as warm in D.C.

Re: Has spring sprung?

Ah... NO!

NEVER much of a "winter" in South Florida; That's why all the snowbirds/Q-Tip heads from up North and Canada flock down there.

Would you take $1.95 for it? :roll: That's all I can afford to scrape together and that's cleaning out under the sofa cushions and dumping out my purse. :shock: :shock:

Florida has two seasons: 1. hot, humid and raining, and 2. hot and humid.

Mildest winter I can recall here in NW Alabama. Was on the Gulf Coast last week for a conference and it wasn't any warmer there than here at home

That's not exactly true. We used to get freezing temps on a regular basis in the winter time 30-40 years ago but now, not so much. I should know because I worked in the heating business and my in-laws were farmers battling frost on the crops with smudge pots and burning tires in the winter. The difference between freezing and not freezing has made a big difference here ...no more ice in the bird bath, no more Robins in the winter.
