I think Ray probably means weight restrictions on the roads are now in effect here. 

Ray don't count winter out yet.  :'(

Yep. Had the spring peepers chirping in my minnow ponds this weekend. Sure sounded sweet.

It will be a while before the froggies start singing here, but I'm looking forward to it. 

The snow crocuses haven't even made an appearance here yet. :'(

Today is the first time I have been out since Monday. Yep I heard some froggies in the ditch lines and even the Elm tree has sprung a pollen leak all over everything.

The TV weatherman last night announced a pollen count of 1000 (mostly tree pollen).  That's always a good sign.   :)

Weather Underground shows this for my area:

Pollen Type: Alder, Cedar/Juniper and Maple.

I know you are just a tad south of me but the cedars and maples have not popped open up here yet.

My driveway is lined with cedars and maples abound around the shop.
