What's your weather like today or the past few days?

2" of nuisance snow last night, 30*F. It won't last through tomorrow, the sun is wayyy too high in the sky and there's too much heat in it for the snow to stick around. The snow banks are melting and the frost in the ground is out. There's no runoff where I didn't plow (The melt water is soaking in) so we'll keep our bridges this year.

Don't ask me why, but I just thought of a time decades ago when we had Rottweilers. I and one of our males went for a walk down the wood road. There was at least 4' of snow on the ground so if I or the dog went off of the packed trail we were in deep doo-doo. The dog stayed behind me in the path I made with the snowshoes. We went maybe 300 yards and there was a mama Moose with a yearling yarded up where they could walk in the paths they had packed down. We watched for a time and the dog was content to just stay in place and watch. Funny how memories like that come back. Don't know why but something about this snow or day triggered it.

I blame all of the schmucks in the Capitol building just because.

I got your back on that assessment, brother.  All the way.

Typical Maine spring time weather. Why are the male weenie puffer forecasters on TV so surprised and feel the need to apologize? Don't like it? Get the hell out! The female forecasters have a bigger set of spheroids than the males.

Our temps go up and down, it rains, it snows, then next day it can hit 60*F. Get over it. 

OK, off my soapbox.

The ground is mostly thawed so even if we get snow I can't plow it away. Today I'll remove the plow from the truck.

It might get into the low 40s today. Just right for a walk in the forest to shoot some pine (aka red) squirrels. Can't eat 'em unless you love the taste of turpentine, but the coyotes choke them down. I just need to get out and about. I'm tired of being house bound from the winter.

Glad it warming up for ya. We have rain forcast for most of the rest of the week. 83 deg yesterday about the same today. Last night's low was 52 deg. I've already had to mow the yard once.

Thanks.

Maine in the spring... We had a snow flurry last night sometime. I took the dog out for her last of the night bladder draining @0030 and there it was mixed into the rain on the ground and vehicles. 32*F then, 34* now. Still raining, just enough to make things miserable. The next few days aren't going to be great. Cold Arctic air and humid warm air from the ulf of America are duking it out over us. Happens every year twice a year.

Its time to get the spreyer out and handel some weeds! Well the damn tip is always gummed  up so I snapped that off and drilled out the primer of a 308  with a 3/32* bit and pushed it right on. Secure it with some elec. Tape and spray away.

Ingenuity at its finest.
