Actually got a very brief glimpse of that thing they call the sun yesterday and it unbelievably reached 70f ! Unfortunately it's also blown 45 mph for the last 48 hrs. It's 35f and blowing snow again as I type this!

We got about a foot of snow on sunday here in N. Michigan. Now it's just cold, with flurries. Worst April I can remember in many years. We should have stayed down in Texas another month

I feel for you guys, I have most of my family up in that area, mom got 22 inches, cousins got close to 29 inches and snow predicted again for Wed. I was visiting and left early during that first 8 inches in the beginning of April. Hope no more roofs collapse as the list was crazy on Sunday.
Stay safe, hope your snowblowers are good enough.. I know from my facebook feeds lots of people who just couldn't push through the worst of it...calling for people to help out as the ends of the driveways just became almost impenetrable without heavy duty equipment.

After the scary rainstorm on Saturday, that I posted about in post #4427, the weather is smiling on us here in New Orleans. It was cold for a day or two, but today it is already 81F with sunshine and blue skies.
I am so glad to be back to what I call "shorts weather". I know the heat down here is pretty intolerable for some people but I guess I am just a hot weather person at heart.

Its 50° something, very windy, and dry. I could barely see the mountains to the east because of smoke in the area. According to the area fire department everything is contained, but it's a good time for caution.

Just had 17" of fresh snow, and apparently 1-3" forecast tomorrow. I think then we will finally be done with snow. Managed to go alpine/downhill skiing with my 67yr old dad. That was fun.

Temperature hits 97F (36C) today. Totally ridiculous!
We are headed to our high-country hideout tomorrow. Will not be able to stay long though, as I still have work on the RV to prep for the upcoming trip.

Historic blizzard last weekend; sunny and nearly 70 today. Typical Minnesota.

Its not really awful. Just a little late this year. We had 4 inches of snow yesterday and no wind. The temp was 15 this morning. It was a winter wonderland scene with snow covering all the pine trees. Now it is 50 and all the snow is gone.

Snow on Monday to needing to mow the lawn by Thursday.
Weird weather this spring.

It snowed pretty much all last night and today. We really needed the moisture. It will likely all be melted by the morning. Its very muddy right now.

Winter has gone and summer has arrived in Chicagoland without having a spring. But my iPhone weather app still thinks that there is a chance of a winter storm.

Our highs have been in the mid 90's for the past four or five days. Summer is definitely here! This is warm for May, even here in New Orleans. Whew, what a scorcher today.
Due to the new HVAC system I had installed in 2016, I didn't realize how hot it was outside until I looked online and then later went out into the inferno out there.
The new HVAC wasn't cheap but worth every penny ($7200, so 720,000 pennies).  Since it is newer and more energy efficient, my energy bills are lower too.

Beautiful day. 77 low humidity and a great hike around the lake.
Spring finally arrived.

Congrats W2R on your moderator retirement from this site. I appreciate all your work and your specific assistance to me at the beginning of my postings.

Thank you! I'm thrilled to be making this change, which has been in the works for quite a while. I loved being an Admin, and helping out all that I could, but now I'm ready to put that aside and just post.
