It's supposed to go over 50 here in SE Michigan, so I'll be putting the new differential carrier in my Miata. I like winter but a warm Saturday to put the car back together is welcome right now.

We've had way too much of it already, but then again if it hits freezing even once I've had all the winter I want and I'm ready for spring.

We had a freak winter rain storm last night. It's the first good rain we've had in over a year. My ponds went up over 8 FEET, but they are still about 2 feet low.

It's definitely out here.

We've had more snow that usual for this time of year, which is good because it alleviates the drought conditions somewhat.

Calling for mid 70's here on Friday and thrrough the weekend, have to gt the bike out. If the weather is true to history, by this time next week we will be knee deep in snow.

We have a big mango tree in the back yard. Lots of blooms, baby fruit already growing. Going to be a good fruit year. We don't need no stinking winter.

It's been quite cold here for a few weeks, but we're supposed to have 50+ weather by Friday. It's not that unusual in Columbus to have a few nice days a month through the winter but this does seem more extreme than usual. It was 15 degrees the other night and now they're calling for 63 as the high on Saturday. Almost a 50 degree swing in less than a week. Supposed to be back down to 20 by next Friday. Yikes.

Agreed. Something like high in the 50's this weekend in lower Michigan.

On the downside, that likely means no ice racing in our region this winter (for the second year in a row).

On the upside, Gingerman is opening up for an impromptu open track day this Saturday! $150, 9am - 5pm.

I was glad it finally showed up here, just north of dculberson. In the last couple of weeks I was able to take the kids sledding, have a couple of snowball fights with the boys.

After being stationed at Ft Polk for 2.5 years I really missed having seasons. Snow can be a pain but the other day when I got up is was lightly snowing, sticking in the trees and everything was covered in a blanket of white, gorgeous.

It's supposed to touch 70 here in the Bluegrass over the weekend. This is the second straight winter where we've not really HAD a winter. Not saying I WANT ice storms and power outages, but I do enjoy a good snow every now and then and being out in the brisk winter air...

supposed to be 74 here in central GA saturday. I think we've been below freezing maybe twice so far overnight. I'm about to be forced to mow my yard.

Now that's winter!

"Ooooooo a light dusting of snow it's so pretty"..........for about 15 minutes and then all that matters is that it's cold and you can't do anything outside plus it's going to get mushy & nasty.

You can keep you seasons as long as I can keep spring & summer. That's all a body needs.

So jealous of all of the fruit trees you can grow just a few hours south.
