sosninity 04-09-07, 02:12 AM My daughter went to a 6:30 a.m. Easter service on Lake Michigan this morning. It was in the 20's, and that's Farenheit.
lunaslobo 04-09-07, 08:17 AM here is southern wisconsin we have only gotten a couple of quick flurries but other than that it has been quite chilley. My grandma calls early april fooler weather because you never know what it is going to do from one day to the next. she says more than anyother month all of the seasons seem to be represented. I hope it gets better but what can we do? I mean besides complain wich is something I am so good at about the weather I should have some kind of award.:cool:
justhope 04-09-07, 09:03 AM Well the snow finally stopped here....we finally topped out at close to 28 inches....I knew there was over a foot on the top of my car...and that was NOT the drifts.....the next adventure will be hiking through the snow to the garage where the shovels were nicely put up last weekend when it was almost 70degrees......Poor postman....he can skip leaving my bills today....he will never make it up on my porch...I just used the boys sled to get to the car!
I hear 40's are in the forecast for tomorrow...can anyone say canoe! :D
chad31687 04-09-07, 12:37 PM Ohio's weather sucks...yeah that's all I got to say cuz I'm not taking my adderall over spring break lol...
babypin 04-09-07, 01:49 PM Yeah, here in Norway it suddenly started to snow yesterday too.
It was sunny and 15 degrees Celcius just a few days ago, but now it seems as though winter has come back. Hopefully not for long.
I'm not used to this cold anymore and I really want to use my spring shoes :rolleyes:
~Ødd~Scr~θθball 04-09-07, 03:07 PM Spring here in Georgia the Peach state, known for our warm Springs and blooming dogwoods and azealeas has had Mother nature playing some dirty tricks on us with temperatures in the teens at night and thirties and forties during the day!! :eek: :faint: Br-r-r-!!!! :faint:
I like Winter but this is the month of April and she's obviously up to some fooling with our weather. What Happened to SPRING!!!? :faint: Is it just around another corner..?? :confused: :faint: :p
VisualImagery 04-09-07, 09:05 PM Today we hit the low 50's, so there is hope for Ohio and Georgia depending on the jet stream.
Need a shovel Hope? Snow in April, didn't even happen in Chicago often! I do remember picking tulips in the snow in jr. hi.
justhope 04-09-07, 09:21 PM BabyPin...cold in Norway huh? interesting...
It snowed here, non-stop since last Wednesday..ok enough is enough!
Beck's no shovel needed now...really need the canoe by tomorrow it's all melting...........yipee.....
And I lived here 11 years and I don't ever remember getting this much all at once in April..could be selective memory though....I hope this is it, I am not putting up my shovels until May now...dang it.......
lunaslobo 04-09-07, 09:22 PM not to far north of me it is predicted to get 3-6 inches of snow tonight. glad its north of me and not here.
Ichpuchtli 04-09-07, 10:20 PM Cooling fown nicly and about time. IT is still getting near 30 Celcius though.
auntchris 04-10-07, 12:41 AM Wow cant believe the responses to this thread...Hey RADD, bring the shovel over here and shovel Hope and I out of this snowie mess.
I know I am not looking forward to the melting of the snow and all the slush and the ground wil lbe saturated again with the over whelming amount of water. Hope we get the sun and the rain holds off till the ground dries out.
lunaslobo 04-10-07, 08:17 AM Cooling fown nicly and about time. IT is still getting near 30 Celcius though.
thats right you are oppisit what we are as far as seasons. right now it is early fall for you if I am not mistaken. so as we warm up u cool down.
justhope 04-10-07, 09:18 AM Ich you can have it all....I am sick of cold...and snow...I am ready to put on my favorite play clothes and go outside!!!!
:D
babypin 04-10-07, 09:42 AM BabyPin...cold in Norway huh? interesting...Shocked? :p:p
It's clearing up now. It's about 45 degrees Farenheit and the snow's almost gone. Yay~~!
auntchris 04-11-07, 05:50 PM Well I t has been a busy week and havent had much time to write on the forum. I am glad this snow is melting and hope the Sun comes soon.
I am happy that everyone enjoyed this tread. It is one thing we all have in common beside the everyday ADD stuff.
Lady Lark 04-11-07, 10:19 PM I supose I shouldn't mention that it's in the high 80's for the high today, and going to be in the high 70's for the next couple days should I? :D
IN Edmonton its been snowing for like a week now, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!
Is it true that Edmonton only has two weeks of summer? :D
No, we do usually get a few months of nice weather. Although about two years ago we got snow in August. I know this because I was tent camping at the time, let me tell you, NOT SO FUN! :P
Swede63 04-11-07, 10:57 PM It's not fair we have a couple of days in the high fifties and sixties and then the rain/slush/snow combo comes right back at us. Now they are predicting snow tomorrow 1-3 inches. The birds don't know what to do I think they might fly south again. It seems to be unseasonably cold elsewhere too. We just got back from Orlando and it was in the 50's there.
AndreaPurple 04-11-07, 11:02 PM We're getting MORE SNOW here in Massachusetts TOMORROW!!!!!:mad:
WHAT THE HECK!!!! IT'S APRIL!!!!
meadd823 04-12-07, 12:41 AM The huge amounts of snow experienced by those in the northern US trickled all the way down south much to the shock of Texans.
http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s206/tlr823/SnowinSanAngeloinAprilnolesstopofmy.jpg
This is a West Texas Blizzard.
As you can see the belief that every thing is bigger in Texas is simply a myth.
The above picture was taken last Saturday April 7th in San Angelo Texas, We were actualy unable to go home due to this Texas sized blizzard. It rarely snows in December here so snow in April of any kind if front page news. The above pictured Texas snow storm prevented me from returningto the Austin area for personal safty reasons.
See in Texas it rarely snows therefor the residents here get very little practice driving on ice covered roads. I can drive in snow and ice but I am only one out of 500,000 Texans who understands the concept that brakes do not stop a car on ice.
This after noon the weather here in Texas looks like
http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s206/tlr823/Indianpaintbrusheswithoutweeds.jpg
A view from my office window.
I am sorry those who are cold are praying for spring however we here in Texas do not have spring we simply have summer and not summer. Personally I prefer not summer. I do enjoy a snow day on occasion becuase I do not have to go into work, I am not expected to drive any where. This gives me a chance to catch up on some much needed

meadd823 personal pics. . . .my Christmas camera works so good! Maybe the laughing will warm you guys up. :D
Swede63 04-12-07, 09:43 AM come on Mead what was that about 1/4 of an inch of snow, if that:D
I am so jealous of that next photo and the cat is way cute.
AndreaPurple 04-12-07, 12:12 PM come on Mead what was that about 1/4 of an inch of snow, if that:D Here in New England we call that a dusting, it doesn't even count as snow!!! But I'm glad you're enjoying Meadd!!
Our snow hasn't even started yet, should be here soon though, there is a mix of snow and rain out there now. This is the worse snow of all, wet, heavy snow, not easy shoveling, my poor husband:D !! YUCK!! We prefer the light, fluffy stuff!
auntchris 04-12-07, 09:00 PM LadyLark, I wish I was there with you. 80 degrees when will we see that again? I hope soon. I wont chop your head off for saying that but watch out of justhope.... she and I live in the same city and are both sick of the weather... I hear we are suppose to get a nother blast.... What is Mother Nature doing to us.
Didi , I can't either. today it rained better than snow in April. At least people are out and about and talking.
Are you serious Imnapal only 2 wks? Wow
Swede, Shhhh dont say the S word.... You know snow. .
Andrea, I think Mother nature is telling us this is her April Fools joke on all of us. this isnt fair... She gave us some beautiful weather and now is teasing us and now Snow.... NO MORE... I want to see green
Okay Mead, that is called a sprinkling of snow here up north. Hope and I are tired of this so called Spring/ Winter weather.... we want the sun.. I love your pictures, the flower brighten up my day. Can I use it as a desktop wallpaper.... it is pretty and full of the things i like ... grass, yellow sun, and warm breeze... Thanks for sharing .... That kitty has the right idea, sleep...It looks so comfortable on the couch. What is its name?
I love this thread so many people can talk here.
Swede63 04-14-07, 09:24 PM Hello all!
o.k. we are having some crazy weather here in New England. 50's today and clear sunny skies but tomorrow we are supposed to have torrential rain and winds up to 65 mph!! Yikes!
justhope 04-15-07, 12:06 AM It's freaking sleeting here AGAIN......OMG..........
Snow expected tonight....NOOOOOOOO MORE......
I WANT SPRING NOW !!!!!!!
Ground Control 04-15-07, 12:29 AM Babypin? Did you have a colder than usual winter? Just wondering if the slowing Gulf Stream is affecting Norway similarly to England and Groenland... :?
meadd823 04-15-07, 01:31 AM Okay Mead, that is called a sprinkling of snow here up north
Yea I know I hope no one hurt their selves laughing at my Texas blizzard. . . .it DOESN"T snow in west Texas period. 12 inches of rain means 12 inches between each drop, it is semi-dessert there with about 12 inches a year
If any thing resembling frozen stays on the ground past noon is a HUGE deal. Here in the Austin area we get more rain {apx 30 inches} but it doesn't freeze very often, we are a bit closer to the equator than those who live up north.
I love your pictures, the flower brighten up my day. Can I use it as a desktop wallpaper
Be my guest . . . .it is called an Indian Paint brush down here. All our wild flowers are in bloom.
and our not so wild flowers I didn't even know I had a rose bush. I guess I do. This is a pretty time here but in August it will be 107 degree F in the bloomin shade. So enjoy the flower pic because by next month it will be to hot for them here.
A Rose any one?

That is Mr. Mischief. He can be real mischievious when he isn't sleeping. Gary is his human even though he is supposed to be my cat.
AndreaPurple 04-15-07, 02:58 PM IT'S SNOWING IN MASSACHUSETTS:mad: ....IT'S APRIL 15TH .... I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!!!:confused: DID I MENTION IT'S SNOWING???????!!!:mad: :eyebrow: :eek: :faint:
Didn't the Bee Gees sing about Massachusetts? Silly me, it was lights not snow. They were so young in this video.

AndreaPurple 04-15-07, 04:18 PM Didn't the Bee Gees sing about Massachusetts? Silly me, it was lights not snow. They were so young in this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mj2Lc_OFHBoI love that song!!! And yes, they certainly were very young then!!
This is a personal favorite New England song.....:D No snow reference in this one either.... Barry is also looking quite young here....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stTuNPuI9Dc
OH yeah, by the way, in keeping with the thread subject, it's no longer snowing here in Mass, it's raining! yuck. Oh well, good day to stay in and paint a ceiling!
justhope 04-15-07, 09:16 PM We had a little light snow/rain mix lst night, but it was gone by today, and while a little nippy for my liking, it was beautiful all the same. Sun was out, finally.
MafaldaMay 04-16-07, 11:13 AM We just received 10cm of snow last night. Everything is white this morning! The cedar hedge is totally plowed under the weight of snow...
It's depressing, but quite beautiful actually (if I forget it's April 16th and my longing for summer weather). Maybe I'll play some Christmas music... :p
Mafalda May, I have to ask. Is the kitten in your avatar a friend of yours?
I heard my first Loon call last night, a sure sign of spring. There is hope.
Lady Lark 04-16-07, 10:25 PM meadd I wish we could get 12 inches of rain. I wish we could get the 7 that we're suposed to get. We are starting year 12 of a drought. No rain for us, but it will give us one massive freak of a storm and drop SNOW back in...Feb, I think. Want to freak out several million people all at once, have it snow in Phoenix. :eek: :faint:
Now it's nice though. In the high 70's today, and mid 80's tomorrow. :D
*ducks*
MafaldaMay 04-17-07, 12:09 AM Mafalda May, I have to ask. Is the kitten in your avatar a friend of yours?
I heard my first Loon call last night, a sure sign of spring. There is hope.It's been suggested a couple of times I must have been a cat in a past life. Well, that's a picture of me from one of my past nine lives... :D:eyebrow::p
I looooooooove to hear Loons at night. Lucky you!
It's been suggested a couple of times I must have been a cat in a past life. Well, that's a picture of me from one of my past nine lives... :D:eyebrow::p
I looooooooove to hear Loons at night. Lucky you!You were adorable! The odd thing is, I don't live near water. Several years ago, a neighbour's field, which was once a farm, flooded enough that people were canoeing on it and the Loons showed up to nest. The drought is back, the field doesn't flood, but the Loons still show up each spring. It's kind of eerie when they call back and forth to each other in the dark.
auntchris 04-17-07, 10:22 PM Mead I love the Indian Paint Brush flower... it is beautiful...
I will get back to everyone, it is almost finals and need to spend time on the books. so if I dont answer this thread that is why... I am not ignoring anyone... I have a paper due Tuesday and outline chapters for final notes... and a major project in an another education class and anything else they decide to throw at us... Thanks and enjoy this thread...
Hey hope it is going to lovely this week end.... No jinks here.
Ground Control 04-18-07, 09:47 PM Y'all should come up to Montréal. Supposed to be 20 degrees and sunny this weekend! Yipeeee! Spring is here! :)
auntchris 04-19-07, 09:07 PM What is the temp there... What is 20 in Farhienhit?
http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm
20 C is 68 F
auntchris 04-20-07, 01:46 AM Thanks Imnapl
meadd823 04-21-07, 09:01 PM 68 degrees is winter temps in Texas. . . .our spring is like 80 degrees F
or 26.6666667 degree Celsius (http://www.onlineconversion.com/temperature.htm)
auntchris 04-21-07, 09:05 PM today it got up to the mid 60's it might have even been 70!!!! Now that is a big brealk from the weather had in April....
fasttalkingmom 04-22-07, 10:19 AM Here in New England I think spring is FINALLY here ! 70's all weekend
auntchris 04-22-07, 02:54 PM that is what it has been like this weekend too here in ohio... Okay today is 78 degrees... I took Penny my furry buddy for a long walk. It was beautiful. She met some of her dog friends she hasnt seen in along time and new ones.
I am hoping Monday will be just as beautiful.
Oh Mom how is the Mom of the forum, the aunt is doing okay. studying for finals and the last couple of weeks the add projectss... yikes.
fasttalkingmom 04-22-07, 04:03 PM Oh Mom how is the Mom of the forum, the aunt is doing okay. studying for finals and the last couple of weeks the add projectss... yikes.
Me ?? You talking to me? ...hehe....
I'm good, glad to hear your fine as well
Ground Control 04-22-07, 04:29 PM All this talk of 78, eighty degrees is getting me all hot and bothered! ;)
22-23 is just fine for me. I can wear pants or shorts, light long-sleeves or short sleeves; I can exercise outdoors or lounge about. Don't know how others do it but above 75 is not the most comfy for me.
It's funny how, living in a country that is officially metric but that is right beside one of the most influential countries in the world, I end up using metric and US weights and measures. My house is 70 degrees, but outside is 20. It's 3km to the store, but I want to break the four minute mile. I weigh 175lbs or 79.5 kilos.
How does someone with ADHD survive in the US? Boiling is what, 212 degrees? Things are measured in 8ths or 16ths or 32nds or, God forbid, 64ths. A few thousand feet to a mile, a few thousand pounds to a ton. Ounces, pints, cups, gallons... OK, because of my pub experience I know what a pint is, but there is no way that a ten gallon hat contains ten gallons!!! That's like, 38 litres! :p
I'm glad I don't have to remember all that. I couldn't. That's why I hate cooking. Because all our cookbooks are from the US. *tee hee*
Seriously, I like the US system. Just glad I live where everything is divisible by 10. Then again, I have to know both systems here so maybe we'd be better off switching back to miles and gallons :confused:
Please don't take me seriously, I'm just foolin' around. :cool:
auntchris 04-22-07, 10:54 PM Okay, is that Celcius or Farenhiet? here is is 76 F. This is the comfy weather for me. I love it between the 50 to 77. I like the 80's too, just when yo are dealing with perimenopause thing to bother more with the heat. I am on the med'd for it and they have helped too. I think our land lord need to shut the heat off. :D :D :D
I love this weather too because I can study outside, wish the apartment had a grassy area with picnic tables ....and trees. Oh well, what i have is good. No complaints here. Just wishes. :p :p :p
Ground Control 04-23-07, 07:59 PM Allright! 26/82 degrees here today. Forget spring, summer was here for a day! :p
justhope 04-24-07, 11:22 AM Wow..you were higher than us? GC. no matter the measurement...you were HOT!
I like it between 60-75F...anything over that is uncomfortable...unless there is a nice breeze...
I might have been born and raised in Texas,,but the Northern genes run rampant in me..cause I can take 20F degrees any day..but 85F+ no way!
It's another beautiful day here in Ohio...and of course..I am locked inside ...working...:faint:
Ground Control 04-24-07, 09:04 PM I guess, Hope. Dropped back down to 13 today. Let's see 13/5*9+32=55.4 Farenheight. :p
justhope 04-24-07, 10:20 PM Yep it's umm let's see 10 here then? 53? Right? :eyebrow:
Little chilly but the sun is out, and there is NO snow! :faint:
auntchris 04-24-07, 10:27 PM Right now my task bar says 51F.
I think spring is trying to catch up
I see the green bud on the tree in some areas of the city.
justhope 04-24-07, 10:34 PM Funny you said that..when I was answering GC , I was looking outside my front window..and there is an empty lot across the street, full of beautiful old trees...(people use it as the unofficial dog park..and the boys use it to climb trees and give me a coronary...LOL...anywho
I was looking and I realized ....THE TREES ARE BLOOMING!!! Yipee
Ground Control 04-24-07, 10:42 PM Isn't it kewl? We've got a magnolia on our front lawn and those little buds are just aching for the next warm day. :cool:
meadd823 04-25-07, 01:14 AM on-line conversion (http://www.onlineconversion.com/temperature.htm)
This will convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, and Celsius to Fahrenheit.
How does someone with ADHD survive in the US? Boiling is what, 212 degrees? Things are measured in 8ths or 16ths or 32nds or, God forbid, 64ths.!
Luckily we do not use the 32nds or 64ths much at all, 16th are really pretty rare.
Seriously, I like the US system. Just glad I live where everything is divisible by 10. Then again, I have to know both systems here so maybe we'd be better off switching back to miles and gallons
Even through I live in the US I have to use both systems also. In medicine some times both. We will measure a wound in centimeters but take a person's temperature in Fahrenheit. Liquid measurements, medication measurements are metric which is really fun when one get an older doctor who uses the old apothecary system however medications are dispensed in metric system. This is what old nurses like me are good for. When I began nursing school the US was in mid-shift between the two systems. . . .wohooo that was like not fun but it has come in handy to know both systems especially before computers became common place. Now computers do all the math but for about 10 years it was us and the pharmacy techs that got to have all the fun.
Now I am in the recycling business where some things coming out in metric while others still are in apothecary. Things being shipped over seas or Canada{or coming from}are requested/made in metric while here in the US many business owners do not know what a centimeter is. . . . . what is that in inches. . . . .kilogram they think KILO = drugs {which also used to be a mixed bag of both systems, learning the wild way, but hey I am good at it because . . . . try explaining that to a science teacher}
Now that I wok with Gary who is lost in the metric system I am like here we go again. . . . . . . :faint:
1 inch is about 2.5cm (2.54 cm to be exact)
A kilo is about 2.2 pounds and most women prefer their weight in kilograms.
an OZ or an ounce is about 28 grams.
unless one is discussing liquid then it is about 30ml.
A meter is slightly over 3 feet.
drams, CCs, and engineer’s units yea some times being bad at spelling but decent at math isn't such a bad thing. Most of our science is done in metric because it 1000 times easier to add subtract multiple and divide of this I will agree. It doesn't seem to matter what field I am in I get to use both often switching back and forth.
meadd823 04-25-07, 01:42 AM Want to freak out several million people all at once, have it snow in Phoenix.
Yea I can imagine. . . .I bet people there drive was well in the ice as those here in Texas do. . . .
I looooooooove to hear Loons at night. Lucky you!
Loon a bird judging by the conversation. Here a loon is short for lunatic.
Allright! 26/82 degrees here today. Forget spring, summer was here for a day!
26/82 summer - ha ha ha it was about that at Christmas here If we are talking Texas summer try 40.55C/105F in the shade.
Right now it is raining complete with lightening and thunder. I have a rather large dog wanting be a lap dog about now. It is humid but about 17.77 C/ 64F. They had some nasty tornadoes up around Dallas earlier today.We are under a watch until 3:00am but judging by the radar the worst of it will be to the south east of us.
sosninity 04-25-07, 02:32 PM It was in the 30s this morning. It just better not go below freezing, 'cause all the trees are blooming.
Or maybe that would be good for all the people with tree pollen allergies (like me, sometimes).
May 12 I'm supposed to attend a lengthy outdoor graduation ceremony for the college where I work. If it's not in the 60's, I'm not going. Nobody would be encouraged by seeing me shaking uncontrollably with blue lips.
AndreaPurple 04-25-07, 07:56 PM We finally had Spring the past weekend, in the 70's(F), perfect. Then Monday it was 87, that's summer weather, I hate when it's in the 80's in the Spring. The reason I love spring so much is because of the milder weather, 60's and 70's are my kind of temps.
Now we have spring back, yesterday was gorgeous in the low 70's and sunny, today a little cooler and a bit overcast, but I prefer that to 87 in April, thanks.
Now it's raining, oh well, April showers bring May flowers. And the rest of the week looks good, a little rain, but mostly in the 60's, yay!
auntchris 04-26-07, 09:59 PM I am so glad all of you like this thread.
Hope I love the trees ... we wouldnt be around if
tree did nt give us the oxygen... more trees.
sosninity 04-27-07, 05:26 AM Still wearing an undershirt that tucks in.
justhope 04-28-07, 01:24 PM Raining and cool here...said it was supposed to be 60 here..I think they lied...
coffee with Chris day..good day for it! Then it will be in bed reading day...
Says 70's and sunny tomorrow, they better not be pulling my leg...:faint:
auntchris 04-29-07, 11:55 PM the sun did shine today... didnt pull your leg...
today, my girlfriend, a senior lady I took care of at the apt, her daughter called to tell me she died on Friday.
I use to take care of her from grocery shop to banking to drink pepsi and eat popcorn while watching t.v.
She was very sick, she had a stroke on Easter. She couldnt take and became paralysed from the stroke.
It feels weird today, like I am alone, I mean that I cant go to the nursing home and visit mary and take Penny along to see her. She lived downstairs from me and it is just weird to live in the apartment building now that she no longer is around, not even to visit.
I was expecting for her to be taken from us this week, but the man up stairs is the only one who knows. I am glad I went to see her on Wednesday and Thursday I took Penny to she her and mary to see Penny.
Thursday she was falling asleep when I was there , I told her if she was tired is was okay to fall sleep. I would come again to see her. I think she took it literally, she did take a nap on friday is still taking that nap. I am glad she is no longer in pain. Her body was just so tired, she went through so much in her life time , medical problems. She will live in my heart forever. Penny was her dog. I have her living with me. Oh Spring is wonderful.... life is wonderful... OH mary I am so glad you are free of Pain dear. I love y ou so much and will never forget you.
As I always said before leaving >>>> I love you mary ..... and I do... and so does PEnny.
Auntchris, I'm sorry for your loss, but happy for what you've gained from Mary's friendship. Hug Penny for me.
Well in New England, we just got over rain. And finally the sun is back over here :D
justhope 04-30-07, 05:38 PM It's sunny but a little cold here..but it does feel like spring...

Ground Control 04-30-07, 07:59 PM Sorry to hear about your loss Chris.
:(
auntchris 04-30-07, 09:26 PM thanks Hope , Imnapl and Ground Control. It feels good to just read that others care. I didnt know where to put something like that, for some reason I got on that topic when I was talking abuot spring.
Mary was and alway in my mind be a spitfire of a woman, she always had an opinion and if you didnt know her she might come across brash or hard. She was a wonderful woman, and went through so much in her life time. Her body just couldnt handle it anymore after this stroke. I know she knows that she loves me and I was able to tell her I love her. Yes, Hope she was a good friend, if I didnt have any food, I could count on Mary she would feed me or we would eat what ever, even if was popcorn.
She will be in my heart forever. I is strange to live in the apt, building now, and knwo she is no longer a block away at the nursing home to visit.
It was weird not to walk down the stair to visit, when she went to the nursing home. Now is feels weird, she is not at the nursing home to visit. Thanks for letting me express myself in this thread, even know it s a chit chat thread. thanks all.
justhope 05-01-07, 10:08 PM You are welcome it's your thread...and hey if it helps...you have me now? Well you can't walk down the stairs but heck I"m only a few blocks away...or just a phone call....you are not alone...;)
VisualImagery 05-01-07, 11:05 PM So sorry you lost a good friend. You both sound so enriched by the relationship. May the good memories comfort you.
Spring-it was in the 80's here today, more like we went from winter to summer and missed spring.

VisualImagery 05-02-07, 01:11 AM You are welcome AC. Take care of yourself, ya hear? It is supposed to rain here tomorrow.
auntchris 05-02-07, 09:59 PM thanks You VI. I will I force myself to eat and not skip meals. I hear you ma'am. Tomorrow it is suppose to be sunny here and 60. When are the 70s coming... I hope soon. This is suppose to be spring. I hope we dont jump into Summer. Then we can start a new thread I thought this was suppose to be summer!!!!!!
sosninity 05-02-07, 10:22 PM It was in the 50's here today with a north wind. But I did manage to walk to work without my earmuffs.
auntchris 05-04-07, 09:50 PM today was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and the weather was in the 70's.
Swede63 05-04-07, 10:01 PM It's so funny how this thread has grown, looks like it's been a tough winter all around.
The past few days have been glorious here. Clear blue skies and in the high sixties. My magnolia tree is in full bloom. I'll try and post a pic. All my other flowers are way behind normally we would have a lot of color by now.
Just wondering do any of you have song birds in your yard. That is one of the things I look forward to most.
sosninity 05-05-07, 02:21 AM Almost all the magnolias here got frozen just as the buds were about to open. They could've withstood a night of sub-freezing temps, but it was a whole week.
auntchris 05-05-07, 04:14 PM I am also surprised how this thread has grown too. Weather is one thing everyone has in common either it is cold raining, snowing, warm or too hot. I hear that for finals week it will be in the 70's which is nice I can eat and study outside... Yippe hurray.... It is about time, the great lakes have had it tough, we either get the snow or it passes us by. I am curious what this summer has in store for us...
Ground Control 05-05-07, 05:36 PM Aunt Chris, here is a prediction:
I just want to begin by saying to Roosevelt E. Roosevelt, what it is, what it shall be, what it was. The weather out there today is hot and ****ty with continued hot and ****ty in the afternoon. Tomorrow a chance of continued crappy with a ****y weather front coming down from the north. Basically, it’s hotter than a snake’s *** in a wagon rut.

sosninity 05-07-07, 01:23 PM I've been a weather and nature junky my whole life.
When I lived in this area as a child I put an empty medicine bottle full of snow in the freezer from a May day in the 1960's.
The tree blossoms were spectacular last year. This year they're few and far between.
But the tulips are up now and looking lovely.
Thank you all for letting me post here.
