Sunny and Balmy!

We have hit 40 degrees with sunshine. Its downright balmy out, even left my winter coat in the truck. Snow is melting. Daughter sent me pic of granddaughter enjoying a little snack outside in a lawn chair.
I want to go home and take the cover off the TT and start my spring cleaning/leftover fall improvements.
Camping fever is worse than ever!!!

    We hit almost 50 today which feels warm compared to the record lows we've had. An excellent reality check is getting on a motorcycle. Anything under 70 can be uncomfortable without proper gear.

    My MH is still snowed/iced in but I'm hoping the warming trend this week will let me get it out and about. It needs propane and gasoline after sitting all winter.

    Don't trust Mother Nature, she is fickle. Most of the time I have seen better March weather than April in Indiana.

    Old Guy was being nice, he didn't mention that we are expecting record highs here in western Oregon, near 70 degrees.

    Kennedy64, if you have time can you ship some of your spare snow our way, we are a bit short in the mountains!

    46 and lots of melt. Supposed to hover near 50 for the next two days, down to the upper 30s on Thu & Fri (but snow will still be able to melt) and then the next n'oreaster hits on Saturday. Right now they are calling for a mix of snow/sleet/rain. Joy.

    55 f up here in MN and the White Plague (what little we had) is going fast. My lawn is actually green under the snow! I'll be waiting to pull the Hilton out since I have to wait for the lawn to harden up a tad. It's coming though, the cat brought home a mouse for a Spring dinner fest, last night.

    50 degrees here right now! Just took my sample of Smart Tile out to tt to see how it will match with interior colors. So nice to feel some warmth in the air!

    Its not melting that fast today, but I'm sure there will be some flooding if the temp continues to climb into the 50's in the next couple of days, like they claim. I'm not holding my breath for it to get that warm, but I sure am enjoying the low 40's.

    so are you expecting any floods with all that snow water? I would think you would want a slow melt so the run off gets time to flow gently.
