It's snowing. heavily. and the forecast is for up to a foot of it.

[cali]

not unheard of in these parts, but still........

1. So much for that global warming thing... n/t

[WhiteTara]

5. must say it again...Climate Change n/t

[Subdivisions]

9. LOL. n/t

15. When are people going to realize that "global warming" doesn't

mean that it won't get cold or snow at odd times? When heat causes water to evaporate into the air it's going to come down as rain or snow. "So much for global warming" Hannity says that every time it either snows when it shouldn't, or gets cold when you think it shouldn't be.

19. It's clear that you have no idea who I am. You don't have to explain anything

to me. And you damn sure have no basis on which to compare me to Shammity.

You, and others in this subthread, could use a lesson in recognizing sarcasm without the sarcastist having to provide a :sarcasm: icon. You'll notice the OP has readily recognized my comment as sarcasm because she is familiar with me and my opinions, though she's not always thrilled by them.

2. Not something you WANT either in Spring.

I heard that much of Northern New England is getting that snow. Ouch.

[SPedigrees]

3. A foot!? It seems to have let up here, but maybe it's just

gathering strength. I think we should send it on up to Canada. They know how to deal with snow.

8. Sunny and 50F in Toronto today...nt

10. Very light snow here .... 3 Hrs east of Toronto..

My ferns are up about a foot.. Amazing warmth for Ontario in the last few weeks.

Sorry about all the snow for you, Cali.

[cali]

18. I hate seeing all my daffodils buried!

[SidDithers]

23. Yup, we're amazingly green for this point of the year...

Cherry trees are blossoming all over the place. I've had to cut my grass twice already. Can't remember having to cut this early in April in years.

27. Our snow and cold won't be headed back your way, sid and nenagh.

It will probably head up into Quebec, or maybe out to sea. And maybe die out and warm up en route.

[NotThisTime]

24. Depends where you are but it's supposed to give us a slug overnight and then tomorrow morning....

So there are a couple of really strong swath's of snow expected....

[Jennicut]

4. It snows in April in New England on occasion. But a foot? Ouch.

It is just raining in northern CT.

[cali]

6. actually, this isn't all that unusual- even the amount-

for the mountains of northern vermont.

[mindfulNJ]

12. Oh man...my sister lives up there...

I'll have to call her later and offer my condolences:P

[Riftaxe]

14. We had our spring snow last week here in NH

Just light rain today.

:hi: Neighbor!

[Davis_X_Machina]

11. Blizzard last Patriots' Day, no? n/t

[Jennicut]

20. I think that was 2007. Yes, the vague memories are coming back.

Ugg, snow in April!!!

[Blue_In_AK]

7. We had eight inches about 10 days ago,

but I think we're done now. I hope.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. If it snowed a foot around here ...

I would still not grab the shovel. At this time of year, let it melt.

:hi:

[SPedigrees]

29. Amen to that. I'm all done shovelling for this year. nt

[dflprincess]

16. And on the other hand - no snow in Minnesota since February

and March used to be the 2nd snowiest month here. I can remember a blizzard in the middle of April but the temps have been above normal and the trees are pretty much all leafed out already.

[NotThisTime]

25. We haven't had significant snow in months.... Burlington, VT....

[fishwax]

17. I always loved mid-spring snowstorms as a kid

:)

[RadiationTherapy]

21. Snow coming to AZ this week too.

[NotThisTime]

22. You missed the update 10-20" Smuggs/Jay lots of places in between

Haven't had a decent snow storm in months and here we are April 27th getting one, amazing....

[cali]

28. Jay's had a ton of snow. And Smuggs wasn't too cheated either.

[NotThisTime]

32. Smugg's is actually down several feet this year resulting in their early closure for the season :(

It was a VERY rough year for Smugg's, we have a place there.... they made snow most of the winter (first time, they usually return the equipment first week of January) until it picked up Presidents week, then it warmed up, conditions this year were pretty bad overall (even had to open 2 weeks late).... This snow is a bit of a slap.... we needed it months ago.

[tango-tee]

26. And it's quite a bit warmer than usual for this time of year over here.

Very odd, all of this.

I'm sorry about your daffodils! The fruit trees are suffering too, I suppose?

[SPedigrees]

31. This cold snap is unlikely to hurt daffodils or fruit trees.

They're tough.

[HughMoran]

30. yeah, relative in part of NH closer to VT was saying same

Then it's gonna be 80 on Saturday :shrug:

[NotThisTime]

33. yup 80, can you believe it??

[SPedigrees]

34. That's New England weather for ya. If you don't like it, just wait a day or so. nt
