Apparently this is God's way of telling me I need to clean out the left half of my garage. There was so much snow and ice on my GT this morning I had to get an empty 2-liter bottle out of the returnables bin, fill it with hot water and bathe my doors to thaw them out! Then as I backed out of the driveway I could hear several loud CRACK! sounds as the ice coating the suspension broke free. Ugh.

On the plus side, I'm really thankful I rebuilt my heater over the winter!

Hold on, spring is coming! The grass is just starting to turn slightly green here in southern Nebraska, and we're getting alternating days of 30's and 60's. I've even got new grass coming up in a bare spot I seeded last fall. So I hope that it's just a matter of a couple weeks until you poor saps further north get similar weather.

I thought it was spring until it started snowing again this morning. ARRGH!

I cut my grass the other day and will have to do it again soon. We did get a small thunderstorm yesterday so except for the temp's in the low single digits, I think we're close to Spring.

Could someone please post some pictures of grass. I forget what it looks like.

But, on the upside, I haven't seen a mosquito in months.

I think Easter being so early got some of us northern folks thinkin spring ahead of time. Well at least the crocus are coming up here. Tomorow is suposed to be 50 & sunny and that will feel spring like.

84 degrees and sunny here.
Makes the garage a bit sweaty but...

beats the alternative.

They're threatening us with about 35 degrees tomorrow. Thing is, we don't want it to warm up too fast, because that'll melt the record snow we've got and wash out the roads and flood the basements.

It's been snowing on and off here as well for the last few days. Not sticking much, but still!

Here's the obligatory Southern US remark:

The azaleas are blooming too soon. The Master's Tournament is coming soon and the hybreds may be bloomed out by then.

We had a snow squall on Wednesday where the winds were blowing 40mph and visibility was about 100 yards, for about ten minutes, and then the sun came out. So the last couple of days I've been working on some MG projects.

Spring has been canceled and may return sometime in 2009

When I saw you were posting a picture from BC, I half expected one like this!

Hey David. Any Master's tickets just laying around, not being used:) I'd be happy to take them off your hands

But since it's officially Spring, I've just got to start driving and sailing anyway!

It was spring until the yesterday morning when 6-7" of mess fell on us. I'm glad I didn't bother washing the car on thursday...
