April is teh cruelest month.

1. Snowing in Denver area, but not so crazy.

Supposed to get from 2 to 5 inches depending on location along the front range.

[jpak]

2. There was no snow in the forecast here

My phoebe and woodcock returned this weekend.

My poor woodchucks sit on the 2 feet of snow that surrounds their burrow and sniff the bare branches looking for something green to eat.

Poor little guys.

4. Can you put something out for them to get them through this? nt

8. I'm going to get them a cabbage and some carrots to munch on.

when it stops.

5. you must be inland and/or north of me...

here on midcoast it was sleeting earlier, but just plain rain now. Hang in there. It'll be July eventually.

Yesterday was bright sun and close to 70. Just a teaser...

7. I got my "summah" car out yesterday

No snow tires

Silly me.

I keep looking at the radar - which says "rain", but the view out the window says "heavy wet snow".

It's already covered up the 10 square feet of lawn that melted out yesterday.

10. I was going to start planting my peas and beans today

but I've decided to wait until next weekend.

Thank you for the reminder! I don't switch to summer tires until the last minute. Usually I wait until property tax day and then remember that the deadline was 2 weeks earlier. This year I think I'll be ok since I'm remembering in advance, thanks to your post

I'm almost completely melted out here. Just a couple small patches here and there. I got tons of outside work done yesterday. Today's looking like an indoor chore day, which is a good thing...

11. The winter truck has 4 new studded snow tires - and they don't come off until May 1

and even then, I wonder if it's too early...

at least this year anyway.

6. April is the cruelest month,

breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
Winter kept us warm, covering 5
Earth in forgetful snow, feeding
A little life with dried tubers.
Summer surprised us, coming over the Starnbergersee
With a shower of rain; we stopped in the colonnade,
And went on in sunlight, into the Hofgarten, 10
And drank coffee, and talked for an hour.

9. It just stopped snowing here in the Nebraska panhandle.

We got about an inch of snow over the top of bumpy frozen rain. Ugh.

12. wish it would snow here

it's been raining all day.
my roof has a leak
supposed to rain all tomorrow too
crap!

[Recursion]

13. It's 100 degrees, hazy, smoggy, and 90% humidity in Mumbai

Pick your poison...

[davidpdx]

15. If I had my choice between those two I'd pick neither

Ugh I hate humidity. It gets bad here in Seoul in late spring and summer.

14. No. Please no.

I fly to Maine next week.

16. What part of Maine?

I was just there over the weeked, and it was in the low 60s/high 50s on Saturday. Colder on Sunday, but only a light rain, nothing like snow. But I was in the Freeport/Bath area, so the weather might have been drastically different inland.

17. Spring and fall are perfect in Houston.

We get two New England summers a year.

sometimes i have to stop being such a bully to myself.
