I Give Up

Mother Nature - You Win! My winter missing rant didn't work. I did see another changed forecast that gave us some snow last night - yeah, not so much. Oh there was a trace of snow, but when I went out to go to church this morning, what I thought was hard frost on the windows, was melting ice already at 8 AM. By the time I got out of church, the snow was really melting and the roads were dry from the overnight snow/rain we received. So it looks like spring is here, a month early, actually probably two months early, since we really haven't had what I consider to be winter weather. I guess it's just not happening this year. I give up. It's spring whether I like it or not. At least the trees haven't started budding yet, but that's probably next. How is your weather where you live? Are you experiencing spring-like weather or is it winter where you are. Thanks for reading.

We have blossoms already, and I played a morning February outside gig (farmers market) in 65 degree sunny comfort.

65 is comfortable. I'm glad it was a nice day for it.

@just4him It's still quite nice now. I'm hoping to get my afternoon kid client (who is a bit of a couch potato) to go to the park today.

@TheHorse Sounds like a fun afternoon. We just had a little bit of unexpected snow. A half hour, no more.

I wish I could share some of the snow with you. We have a blizzard hitting today and tomorrow with up to 2 feet of snow expected.

There is turmoil everywhere when it comes to seasons. We feel it here too.

I just converted that and showed as 64.4 F. That doesn't seem cold. I hope you can get warm.

Over the next ten days, we're supposed to get into the 50's a couple times.

It was a mild spring-like day here today. We had a bit of rain and an afternoon of bright warm sunshine. The days are starting to get a bit longer now too, which is another sign of spring.

We've been having a lot of mild days. Though it did snow, made a post about it a short while ago, but it's already stopped. Nice while it lasted.

I heard and was jealous. I know you didn't want that snowfall. I hope it doesn't last too long for you.

It's not Spring here yet, though there are a few daffidil shoots showing. It's pretty chilly. So you actually WANT it to be winter?

It's supposed to be summer but we've now had a lot of rain. In the Eastern States of Australia, they are having very hot weather and there are dreadful fires again.
