In like a Lion!

I know, March doesn't start until tomorrow, but its blowing a gale out there. We often don't get those weather "rhymes" like other places. "March come in like a lion and out like a lamb" or "April showers bring May flowers." Actually, in Texas, most of the flowers are GONE by May. None the less, its looking promising for that Lion stuff this year - and they are promising more cold weather this week! so, I'll enjoy the sun while it shines and maybe even pry myself off the puter long enough to out an in it for a bit... So, how's the weather in your neck of the woods? doing the "lion bit?

I don't know what the weather's doing up here today, as I have not been out yet. It sure snowed a couple of days ago. The bus got stuck in the middle of Gordon Street, and it took us an hour and a half to move a mile up the road. I can't wait till winter is finally over. Spring can't come soon enough for me.

I tell you want, my namesake friend, I would be happy if it got up and stayed around 70, I'm kind of tired of the cold around here too - and this AIN'T Canada!

We always have cold weather or snow in the beginning of March. One year we had a blizzard in March. This year is colder and more snowy than any previous year, so I think it will hold true. We are tied with the record of the 5th snowiest February,(at least the last time I heard it was 5). It seems that winter will never end this year. Well, January and February anyway. November and December were not bad at all. We have made up for it though. I am outside of Pgh., and some states further towards the east near the ocean have had it much worse than us!

We were #2 for our hottest summer last summer, so I'm trying to not complain about our winter, but it has been pretty cold

Our summer wasn't even very hot. Well, not in long stretches anyway. It would be 90 one day and 60 the next. I think it is cold all over the country. My brother lives in Tampa,Florida and it is cold there also. At one point it was colder here than it was in Alaska!

I remember that - and trust me, we build for the heat, not the cold, we SUFFER in the cold winters!

The weather's getting hotter by the day here, but I have no complaints.. because I choose not to. Doesn't make sense, I know, ha.. Actually I try not to think of it, though I've been sweating profusely. Suddenly I adore you guys there with the snow.. or the ones with cold weather..

Texas has no snow, oh yeah.. just like in my country.. But I think the heat can sometimes be too warm for me.. I think Texas not that hot as Singapore.. or maybe the same? Here can be as warm as 38 degrees or 39 even.. scorching!

March is all set to do the lion thing here in Ohio. Tomorrow we'll have windy weather with freezing drizzle and maybe a little snow. Slippery and blustery!! I love my 4 seasons and appreciate them all but I'm heartily tired of winter and more than ready for spring!

hi ElicBxn wow a gale, but here its just a gentle breeze and the sun is out today.yesterday it rained all day, and my son did nt come to see me because it was really pouring so he should come today. Its odd that we seldom have hard winds here but when we do they can be really bad like blowing down trees and powerlines too. so no lion here yet.

still sunny, but blowing! I'd love to see the warm up for the rest of you guys - and I'd like a bit warmer too, but I don't mind 60's, but the 40's and rain is not my idea of good times

Today is, allegedly, the first day of Spring but although we have some bright sunshine today, it's freezing cold and with quite a strong wind. We had a sharp frost overnight which seems to have lingered long into the day and I'm hoping it will gradually improve over the next few days

we actually go by the sun, so spring doesn't start for us until around the 21-23rd

Things are melting, but we're supposed to get some more flurries tonight. Not sure what animal will show up. Last year I think it was a soggy lion, but I can't remember. I suppose I should have gone out today but I didn't even bother getting dressed!

I get dressed, because other wise I get cold, maybe if I went to bed dressed more warmly, but then I wake up sweating in the middle of the night! darn those hot flashes! (or are they cats?)

It got to the lower 60's, but it was a cold damp sort of 60's, I am ready for something warmer than that.

Two days rain, one day sun, two days rain... Our flowers are mostly gone by May too, and in LA it was a very rare year when you could still see ANY green in May!

well, out there in the desert, or near enough to be called that, what do you expect? It takes a very wet year for us to still see a lot of green come July, but the last couple we've had brown stuff in May too!

No lion here yet. I am still hoping though. There is a snow/rain mix here most all day but if the weather is right, we may actually have a bit of sun this weekend. I am so ready for it..oh...I did see some tulips coming up in my yard but I'm afraid that they will freeze.

Hi ElicBxn, it is March 1st, out here in Hyderabad, India. And it is hot! I am sweating! I cant sit without a fan. :) I dont start using AC until middle of this month. That is because this heat gets worse in April and May. If I start now, I wont find much difference by that time. :) Waiting for another 15 days to go by. :)

last year by this time we'd already run the ac a few times, in between the heater you understand, this year, while we've opened the windows a few times, mostly we've been shivering! Today - raining off and on, and its turned cold, again - got up to upper 50's and now down in the 40's... lemme drag out my phone and see what that is in C... 13º C now 9º C... supposed to be going down to 3º C

March is still like a lion here without the blowing wind. There's still enough snow on the sidewalks that we have to walk in the street. I see some more snow fronts are on the move though.

Yeah, we had ANOTHER front come thru yesterday, now its sunny and supposed to be up to 60 - again, but is there more????

Friday we had 60 mile per hour winds. Yesterday was great with snow melting and 40 degrees. Today was fog, the snow, then sunshine, then snow, but none of the snow did anything but melt. So now it's wet and muddy. We'll see what tomorrow brings. It seems like every day is different, but that's the North Country for you, if you don't like the weather, wait a little while, it will change.

We had a big dump of snow, about a foot, a couple of days ago. It has been thawing and melting since. So, for us, now, it seems like a lamb. I think that was our last big snowfall of the year and we are now on our way into spring.

lots of rain, eh? We started out in October with about the 3rd lowest level that Lake Travis has ever been at, like 30 feet BELOW normal October lake levels - we are now 6 feet ABOVE normal February levels - we've had just a bit of rain ourselves...

Hey Elic! Here in NY we are getting the Lamb thing too thank goodness! So far we have been promised temps near 40 and no snow! We were maybe supposed to get another storm on Wednesday, but it looks like it will only be rain since the temps will be high enough to keep that white stuff away! Yippe! And maybe give that white stuff sometime to melt and disappear! One can only hope and pray! And I, for one will be doing both!

Today is the first day of autumn for us but it is still so hot! We live near the vet clinic and we were going to walk the dog down for her annual shots; we took one step outside and decided to jump in the car, turn the air conditioning on and drive her down there! I’m not complaining though because I hate winter and feeling cold...I guess it will be here before I know it...
