:confused:Well up here in the north we are confused by this thread. Its more like WHERE IS SPRING? We would be very happy to see 50 degrees and not have a forcast that calls for 4 to 8 inches of (#*%&+!) snow Thursday evening:eek: Oh well, Maybe in May:banghead:

[JRTJH]

We woke up this morning to about 4" of fresh WET snow on the ground and up to 12" forcast between now and Friday. That poor robin that was pulling worms from that muddy spot in the front yard will have a tough time this morning finding anything that isn't covered in white. All the stumps and deadfall out back is again covered as is the drive, road and all the tree branches. Thankfully the trees aren't budding yet, so we won't lose the limbs to the heavy wet white stuff..... Spring? I'm beginning to think global warming is all a hoax (had my doubts to begin with)

Hmmmm Maybe if everybody builds a huge bonfire????? :) Nah, probably just a waste of good camping firewood..... :(

[davidcyndi]

I love living in Texas!!!

[antiqfreq]

The heat is finally here in central Georgia. Yesterday 82 and today about 82.
Rain probably tomorrow and that will probably be the end of our rainy season then the HEAT IS ON.........

Pretty soon I'll be wanting winter back. But not - at least - until my new pool heats up! I am SO ready to go in.

[davidjsimons]

After the winter weather we've had, I'm loving life right about now. Great working weather, heavy equipment rolling and dust flying. It just doesn't get any better than this.

Here in Illinois we had mid 70's and now we are in the lower mid 40's come on spring lets hurry up and get here.:(

[hankpage]

I got tired of waiting for spring so we headed South. 80F daytime 65F nights .... windows open ,birds singing, the Gulf is a brisk 72F and crystal clear ...... Life is good ..... my only worry is if the tide will reach my chair. I think we drove right through spring somewhere near antiqfreq's home and went straight to summer. :D Oh well .... time for another cocktail. Travel safely, Hank

That's what we were just told by the park ranger at Utah Lake SP!!

It was minus 3 deg cel last night and fresh snow on the surrounding mountains. And we came from the great white north. You know that frozen, barren land where all those crazy Canucks live. Who would have thought that it is a lot warmer there than here. I know.....we're in the mountains in Utah ...what else should I expect?

Weather along our route to Texas has been, well.........JRTJH knows all the right words.

I used to like you Hank but The thought of you relaxing in the warmth and sunshine is really getting to me (along with JRTJH and others).

Gotta go and crank up the heat in the Cougar.

Festus2 -

It was much warmer in the Fraser River Valley than the (southern) Red River Valley today. In fact, far north Texas got a little snow!

What is your planned route from Utah to Texas?

[Festus2]

Our planned route since we left home has changed a few times due to weather conditions.
However, we may have seen the worst but Mother Nature has the final say.
From Provo, UT, we plan to follow hwy 6....70.....south on 191/6 to 40
Then east along 40 to perhaps Amarillo? Not sure of route From then on.

I need to consult Ron aka geo our travel guide.

[JRTJH]

Festus2,

Ever heard of VOODOO???? Well, in the deep swamps of Louisiana, there's another version of that called HOODOO.... The HooDoo queens do some things with pins and knives.... SO..................... If this doesn't work, I guess we just gotta wait till "whenever"

Right now, it's winter advisory for up to 1" of ice followed by snow/ice mix with accumulations up to 10" by Friday.... :banghead:

[B&T]

A touch of spring here in North Carolina!

With great luck, Festus2 did not head into this weather on his way to Dodge City to meet Marshall Dillon. This picture was taken Wednesday morning, April 10 just north of Laramie.

JRTJH - I like the Atchafalaya touch to the end of Winter!

JRTJH ... Just looked at your weather,,,YEK... snow, freezing rain... You need to fix that now...I want to go camping up north very soon...lol

[iamrwnut]

33 degf with rain, sleet, hail, snow and thunder in Mid Michigan..... YUCK. Rivers are over their flood stages everywhere.

[JRTJH]

A friend of mine just sent me this picture of his front yard this morning. He lives about 75 miles north of us. His wife told mine that they aren't planning to go anywhere this weekend. They have 12-18 inches of new snow predicted between now and Sunday morning. I guess we've "got it good" with only a foot on the ground :banghead:

[Lost]

Were planning on going up north the 16th of may ... I hope the snow is gone by then!!!

[JRTJH]

Lost,

I hear what you're saying and I also am ready to get rid of this white stuff. A group of family and friends always camp at a lake near Republic, Michigan for opening weekend of bass season. That is Memorial Day weekend and in years past, we've had to chip ice off the boat ramp and break ice on the water to get the boats in. Once in, we have always been able to get to open water and fish. Normally, ice on the lake breaks up around mid April, but this weekend, they are still ice fishing on it. Doesn't look good for open water in 5 weeks, but we'll see.

Heck, if we can't get boats in the water, we can always use the ice to keep our adult beverages cool :rofl:

One good thing about all of this, Mushroom picking won't interfere with walleye or bass opening weekends this year :cool:

[TAZ23]

Here in Wisconsin our Walleye opener is the first Saturday in May and this year it looks like I may need to use my ice auger to find water. :banghead:

[iamrwnut]

I so want to dewinterize the TT and hit a campground but I am afraid that I would have to rewinterize. The temps here in MidMichigan have been consistently 10-15 degf below normal. There is a lot I want to do with the TT, but it's too cold to pull out of storage. Wish I was happy, happy, happy....Jack!.. Sorry for mixing Phil and Si isms for the Duck Dynasty fans out there.

I hear what your saying. I too want to unwinterize my 5er and my boat and get out camping and fishing. But I know not to do it before May and this year I'm wondering about that time frame. Michigan weather has it's own time frame :banghead:

[iamrwnut]

Last year in early May we had hard freezes after a really warm March, so never trust Michigan weather.

That is right. Last year the cherry trees and apple trees were in bloom when those May freezes killed most everything. The Traverse City Cherry Festival which is timed for when the cherry harvest is in full swing had to import cherries from Poland to have enough fruit to support the festival's activities. We saw honeycrisp and Braeburn apples triple in price at the farmer's markets and roadside stands around here. Even then, there weren't enough to sell. Even the wild apple trees that we often hunt under were baren this year. So far, none of the fruit trees have started budding, so hopefully there's a better shot at having some cherries and apples to harvest this year.
