We are having one of those March winter storms, the kind that make me wonder why I don't move to the equator...

On the bright side, I don't plan to drive to NY City from the Finger Lakes--not today.

Forecast here is for up to 10" starting this afternoon and going through tomorrow morning. As if that's not enough, we're supposed to get it all over again on Friday. We're going to have more snow on the first day of spring than on Christmas. Any good real estate bargains in your area, WW?

We have more White Easters than White Christmases. Did when we lived in Portsmouth, NH too. Right now there is no snow on the ground, and only light snow in the forcast.

That storm passed us right by, though it's been really cold here.

It's 1:15 and it's been snowing since 9-ish.I'd say we have about three inches. Even the kids are groaning and saying,"We want spring!"

IK, my wife and I rose this morning at 5:45, intent on driving to NY City before the storm (which we were told by the imperfect weather people, would begin in late afternoon). We looked out the window at 6:30--ready to go--and we said: no way, not today. And we stayed home; you should do the same tomorrow.

Sorry to hear of your weather woes, folks. Got up a 5 and was at the gym by 5:30, back home sitting down to a protein shake at 6:30. What a life!

I got the fertilizer down just in time this week end. We have had some slow steady rain through yesterday and today. The sun was out today and right now it is 58 deg. outside. will be a good night to sleep with the windows open. It's gettin warm in the house.

Hang in there WW those 80 deg days will be 100 deg days soon. Then you can thaw out. [img]http://wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

Snow here too, but not predicting much. Should be in mid 50's over the weekend. I'll send it to you when I'm done with it!

We got less than forcasted. It was a little rough going over this morning, but my 4X4 riceburner (Toyota PU) did just fine. Physical went well, and roads were just wet and salt covered coming back.

The lasso wasn't necessary after all. Got a light dusting of snow overnight, and a little bit is coming down now. Shouldn't be much accumulation.

Twin Cities go an inch or two of the heavy snowball fightin' stuff too. Should be here for a short time only though. They are predicting (but what do weathermen know anyway) mid 40s on Friday.

When I got to NYCity today (after first snow blowing 18 inches out of the driveway so I could get out to make a 5 hour drive) there was a message for me from some guy named Verne, who said something about warm weather down his way.

This is a family board, so I can't say to Verne what I want to say!!!
