Subject: RE: BS: You know that it's Spring when...
Just coming out of about 2 weeks of 60 F (16 C) sunny afternoons, the noon temp has dropped to about 34 F and is expected to remain below 30 F (~0 C) for at least the remainder of the week. Our predicted 2 to 5 inches of local snow should begin in about 2 hours, and main Interstate highways a bit north and through most of the western half of the state are expected to be shut down by mid afternoon, with 12 to 15 inches of snow drifting in 30 - 40 mph winds.

At least it may slow down the drought-driven grass fires that have eaten about 100,000 acres in the nearby region in the past couple of weeks.

This is spring??????

LiK noted the equinox about an hour ago, and allowed that she might cavort later but refuses to gambol in this weather.
