    Winter has kept a grip everywhere this year. While not as much as where you are, I am still having regular fires in my woodstove. We did have a warm day Sunday, my fear is going from winter to summer with little spring. I love spring days with warm days, cool nights, thunderstorms. I am waiting for the sound of peepers at night from the surrounding wetlands.

    We finished way behind on rainfall last year. Hoping for lots of spring rains.

    Been just lovely out here. Although a couple of weeks ago, it was 70 something degrees one day and the next night it snowed.

    Still lighting fires at my place. Altho the south face where i live is open if you go other places in the area there's still 1-3 ft of snow. Were below our temp normals also but have not had it as bad as some.

    Almost 70 here yesterday, might make it to 50 today I am really wanting to get on the trails and along the rivers but it's a very slow change to spring around here....but this is normal for us.

    It's been beautiful and sunny hear in Minnesota. But, the weather wizard is apparently going to slap us in the face with some snow this weekend. I thought it was over, I thought it was OVER!

    Same here... I was hoping for 65*F days and 45-50*F nights by the time of my hike the end of April. So far it's hovering at 50*F days and 41*F nights.

    Probably going to have to break out my mid weight base layers for night time for the trek... darn that adds almost a pound of weight!!!

    Still averaging one bag of wood pellets a day, should have been mostly done heating a month ago. These colder winters are killing my gear budget, buying wood pellets is not all that satisfying.
