The cold won't go away!
« on: March 22, 2014, 04:26:02 pm »
The cold won't go away! It's almost April and I have yet to even have it warm enough to get enough sap to start my 1st boil of Maple Syrup! Down to 20 F tonight...

I like winter BUT I think I have had enough!!!! :'(

Looks like a major snowstorm going to head up the east coast of the US and hit Nova Scotia Mon/Tue.   :o

I hope everyone makes it through ok!   :)

43F this afternoon when it clouded up and snowed.  Hard.  Cooled off to 38F and the ground turned white for a while.  Luckily, most of it was gone by the time I had to drive to work this evening.

One inch of snow last night, enough to knock out the satellite signal in the last minute of overtime in the Arizona/wisc game.   Enough already, March Madness I tell you.  Ok, the weather has several days of 70's this week.  March has been a wild ride for the bees, cows, and the Ky Wildcats.
