After high 60's to mid-70's this week, today's weather treat....



In fact, it's snowing hard enough that my satellite dish is losing its feed every now and then.

After a week of nice spring weather here we only got to 39 today. Snowflakes predicted for Wednesday but hopefully it won't be cold enough to stick.

It's been a very cold spring here in Houston this year.  We're supposed to have lows in the upper 40's tomorrow night - that's damn cold for this time of year for us.  I'm just praying that it translates into a cooler summer :)

 Made it to 70 here today - Glorious!


It's also a chance to take some model train pics  :)

Sounds like a chunk of the country got smacked.  Denver is at 5 inches of snow today and the lower mountain areas are around a foot of snow.

I'm headed to Breckenridge Weds and plan to get a half-day skiing on Friday afternoon.

We hit almost 80 yesterday, and my wildflowers are popping up through the ground like crazy.  Of course, today, it's all rain and upper 70s, with possible snow for tonight.

I guess today, I will find out if I've controlled the leak in my Vue that has been soaking my floorboards in heavy rain. ???

Germany abolished all of winter this and last year. What is that white stuff on those roofs and plants?

More likely, they packaged it, and sold it as high-tech weather, which was eagerly snapped up here.  It's German...it MUST be pretty good.   8)

True, but today's weather was crazy, Hagel, regen und Sonnenschein alle zusammen!

Hey, this isn't the Mediterranean - we buy olive oil in bottles and keep a stern eye on the deficit!!!  :mrgreen:

No snow this last winter here; not a flake; only had to scrape the screen twice ...

Scotland, Wales; some parts of England yes, but I saw none at all, even whilst out working/driving ...

We had the coldest December through March since 1936.

It's yo-yo time here.  One day at 40, one at 60, one at 30, one at 55.
