Ahh yes spring fever. I just saw the first robin of the year, it was stuck in the grill of a snow plow! 6-10 inches of snow today for us!

Spring??? That's a good one! We received 16" of snow yesterday. Took me an hour and a half to shovel out my driveway this morning. And we are supposed to get more today . . .

To all the people in the Northeast, you know we always get a storm in March. Maybe this will be it and we can get on with spring! Anyone remember the Ice Storm in 1991 and the Blizzard of 1993? Both in March!

It actually snowed down here in South GA and South AL in 1993 in March! We're about 70 something degrees with a lot of liquid falling from the sky at the moment. All of my dogwoods, azaleas, redbud trees, etc. are budding at the moment. May it stay warm so they will be beautiful for Easter!

It is snowing here in Indiana today, yuck. It is supposed to be close to 60 on Saturday. Typical Indian March weather.

Lin, I remember both the March 1993 storm and the January 1996 blizzard.

It's been snowing all afternoon in New York City (but not sticking). The "green line" has been painted in the street on Fifth Avenue for tomorrow's parade. So, why is the weather causing some people to sing "I'm dreaming of a white... St. Patrick's Day."

Here's an article "Blizzard rating system unveiled" 1993 Northeastern storm ranked most devasting.

Well, we got 3.5 inches of snow in NYC yesterday. In Manhattan the snow is already gone and we are ready for the St. Patrick's Day parade which begins at 11 a.m.

Here's an editorial that appears tody in The New York Times:

Forward Into Spring

It doesn't take much of a snowstorm in the middle weeks of March to remind inveterate weather watchers of the great March snowstorms of the past. Particularly - for those of us in the Northeast - the blizzard of 1888 and the superstorm of 1993. The 1888 blizzard, which killed some 400 people across the region, is now part of our meteorological ancestry, the kind of event that has continued to grow in stature even though the last witnesses are long gone. A blizzard will probably never be able to sneak up on us again the way that one did. We now have the luxury of seeing what's coming, watching open-mouthed as an event like the March 1993 storm develops. That one, as many of us remember, cut through 26 states and killed some 270 people.

But the cruelty of a mid-March storm, even the modest kind that hit yesterday, is usually psychological. There have already been a few days of springlike warmth. Dawn shows behind the hills or beyond the skyline by 5:30, and twilight lingers till well past 6. Most of us have shifted out of our dire winter coats. The first flocks of robins are back on the ground, and in the country red-winged blackbirds can be heard in the marshes. Everything is tipping in one direction. And then it snows again. No one is responsible. But is feels like a kind of distributive injustice. There are parts of the world that really need this precipitation. Let them have it.

I'm sorry for all of you from up East having to deal with snow still. It is beautiful, sunny, and 72 degrees today in Oklahoma! Last night I spent two hours working on my new garden, pulling weeds, and preparing to get my new patio poured today! Yeah!

Oh I love this time of year....and after all my pitchfork work last night, I also love my Advil.

It's bright and sunny in Missouri today! I think the high will be in the 60's the rest of the week. I'm wanting to start some container flowers for my porch but I know it's too soon.

It's just too beautiful here today - I WANNA BE OUTSIDE!!!! No AC or Heat - better yet - no Mosquitos and no gnats. We can actually ENJOY sitting outside. I have way too much yard work to do - all my flowerbeds look pitiful - need weeding. The backyard also has to be tilled for my veggie garden. My grandpa always told me never to plant before Easter but Easter's just too late this year for that to hold true. I gotta get busy!

It's still snowing, it was supposed to end last night!

Been beautiful here in Birmingham Alabama. 60's and 70 degrees. I burned to a crisp at the lake last weekend while working getting our little lake place ready for fun times!

Maria, The tri-state area is under a winter storm watch again (ugh). This winter refuses to go away.

I know William, I already told my son he may be coming to work with me tomorrow.
After my 2+ hour commute on Tuesday, I wonder if the boss would let me work from home???

Be careful all you northeasterners out there!

Keep your chins up, spring is around the corner.

By the way, it's a sunny 73 degrees here today...I really don't want to be at work.

I'm confused by a word many of you are using that I'm not familiar with. "Sunny" What is this bizzare foreign group of letters and how do I get some?

Two feet of ice outside still (the snow compacts and becomes ice) I feel like I live on a glacier!

I'm surrendering. Sunny (I'll send you a picture Dawnie) and mid seventies today. Taking a vacation day to enjoy it.

It's supposed to be sunny and 60 degrees here today. This weekend I do my spring cleaning. I'd love to take today off, but since I just got back from the ABA Graduate School there is a lot on my desk.

BTW - I had a great time and learned a lot. Even met Andy Z and DebNP.

Ha ha! Dawnie, I probably should not complain, but they closed my son's school again today! I have had it! I am glad I had the foresight to bring some work home with me.

It's supposed to be 82 degrees here today!

It has snowed off and on in New England for the past several days!!! Spring???? I don't think so!!!

Well today is supposed to be 70's and sunny so we must enjoy it while we can. Sunday will be back in the 40's and yukky. Don't you just love the mid-west.

Sunny and 72 here just south of Atlanta today.
