Not only did we miss winter this year in Arkansas, I guess we've also missed spring. It is going to hit 90 degrees today and tomorrow. The times they are a changing.

Ron, this is our 4th 90 degree day in a row here in sunny OKC. I'm pretty sure we missed winter too. At least I didn't see it go by.

Hottest Days on record for this part of the year since 1937 they said. We can handle it. (AC blaring).

It`s not so warm here in Indiana, but the honey-do list has tripled in size, so I think spring has in fact sprung!

Just not enough time in a day.

Not so warm here in Spokane either. Light snow yesterday and today, just for a few minutes, with the sun shining. Tulips and daffodils are holding their own despite light frost last night. The garage is getting bearable, though. Spent yesterday adding a circuit, rearranging and making room for the new dust collector. Next weekend, sawdust!

It's been raining here for more than a month with very few missed days and I expect when it's done it'll just go to 110° and be summer. Oh well, I'd rather sweat than shiver anyway.

Well, it's 'still raining' here in the SF/Monterrey Bay area of CA., set a record for number of rain days in March. And they say, there's more to come. Is this the 'global warming' thing? Last month I saw 3 inches of hail on the ground in Santa Cruz, and snow in the mountains. Oh well, at least no earthquakes, 'knock on wood'.

Snow this morning here in Helena, but that can happen any day of the year! Projected to be 75 by Friday, but by that time I'll be in Olympia WA for some training for work.

Hit the mid 90's here today, I think we had a sum total of less than a week of night temps getting close to freezing all winter. Suppose to get back down to the 80's during the days later this week. Not looking forward to energy costs this summer.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I and two other friends went camping in the middle of May. Well usually when we go camping with these friends it pours rain on us.

Well this trip my wife is siting around the camp fire while her friend is in her tent (me and my buddy were off fishing). Well our friend in the tent hears the sound of "moisture" on the tent and casually asks my wife if it is raining (knowing it probably is as we tend to get rained on every camping trip) "Nope" says my wife. "Not rain"

"??????? Well what's that noise than" replys the tent voice.

"Snow" says my wife

"$%#%@%$@$%" replys the tent voice.
