Aw heck Pitchy, I have been snowed on the first day of summer! I used to fish a few high mountain lakes and we got chased off a lake by snow.
I'd say just be happy you are getting 3" in April- if it was October you'd know you were in for A LOT MORE!

Better fire up your ice breaker for the pond!!

[M. M. Wright]

You've got snow and we've got high water. Have to drive 20 miles to get to town which is 6 miles away. Guess I didn't need anything anyway.

[jeepnik]

Sunny and 80°F. Live is a beach.

[Pitchy]

Ya I know it was just kinda a shock after being 54 and sunny yesterday.
Drained the pond yesterday for spring cleaning, that and it has a leak somewhere so gotta fix that.
Good day to make a fire in the shop and build something.
Stay dry MM, jeepnik hope you get a sun burn.

This old hide is pretty much immune to the sun. Working outside most of my life, and enjoying the outdoors for all of my life has me pretty much well toasted already.

Lucky man... I went to the dermatologist last week... Burned and scraped til I was raw and blistered... Doc said, "I'll see ya in 4 months... Retirement Program." Nice to addressed by my first & last names!

Global warming...

Pitchy,
I'm just a bit East of you and the only month I haven't seen it snow in is July. Still doesn't make it any easier!

Global warming...

How true!
Science has proven that the planet warms and cools naturally so get ready for the next ice age.

But on the other hand, the sun will burn out in another 4 billion years so...

They call that an onion snow in Pennsylvania.

[Bill in Oregon]

Pitch, sorry for the late snow. We have had an extreme winter here -- extremely wet. Farmers have not had a 4-5 day warm dry break yet and many have been unable to get into their fields, and it is almost May. Much of the Northwest is at 150 percent of normal precipitation. Can you say, "mud"?

[Sixgun]

T shirt weather here...maybe a light flannel over it.

You might as well put the Harley away for another two weeks! ---6

[3leggedturtle]

Up until '86, we used too always get 2 big snowstorms here in April, I bought a 4x4 pickup in March of 1986 and April was warm and dry that year.

Or it could supernova in the next second. We'd get a few minutes warning but what difference would that make.

And just how did they figure out when the sun will burn out? Seriously, scientists often make WAG's and expect folks to take it as gospel.

[KirkD]

By gum! I hope you're not sending that weather our way, Pitchy!

[GunnyMack]

A WAG of 4 billion years could be a rough guesstimate but does it really matter?
The folks that do that kind of math know the physics better than I do!

[Pitchy]

By gum! I hope you're not sending that weather our way, Pitchy!

Well Kirk if I did your going to get back at me the way it sounds, the wind is out of the north which dropped the temps 20-30 degrees and more rain, sleet and snow coming next few days.

[3leggedturtle]

Pitchy the weather forecast is pretty dismal and gloomy for rest of this week!

if you were a Finn you'd know the proper course of action ......

We had 80s here today.

[Pitchy]

Snow was almost melted yesterday, got up this morn and the ground was covered with sleet and 24 degrees

new pig hunter, there are crazy people here that cut a hole in the ice and jump in, never done that.

[Pitchy]

Now they're predicting 5-8 inches of snow Monday.
I new I shouldn`t of put that new carb on the Harley.

[piller]

It was in the upper forties here a couple of mornings ago. I was almost ready to grab a jacket. Some folks were wearing coats.

About 8 years ago we were staying in the MH at Tejas State park by Crocket and it got in the teens, water pipes froze up everywhere.

Weather this year has been stupid different! We're at over 45 inches of rainfall since Oct. 1st last year! Our normal for Oct.-Oct. is 38" annual rainfall! We keep breaking rainfall daily records, and snowfall at high elevations is almost 140% of normal!

But I remember back in the 1990's we were doing some high altitude work for the Bonneville Power Admin. and all work was supposed to be done between June 1st and Oct. 1st, to avoid getting caught in snow conditions. Can't remember how many times we got snowed on during that time frame, but it happened a lot! One site in Central Oregon we did in late June. It was 70 degrees about noon when it began to cloud up, and the temperature dropped like a rock! I was working in jeans and T shirt, and quickly put my sweatshirt and Carhardts on! Then it began to snow heavily, and before we could cover up things we had a foot of snow! Next morning we chained up to get up to the site in 2' of snow, and by noon it was all melted and I was back down to a T shirt!

I`ll freak some out and say, you`ll know by the changes of the seasons that I`m right at the door.
Saddle up boys we`re in for a heck of a ride.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammo. wheeeeee
