Just look at all of the early participants in this thread! Wonderful!

The sunshine drifts are deep here today, though we had rain late on Monday and I detected a few small pieces of hail in the potted plants beside the kitchen door.

There has been almost no snow in Boston this year. I feared a repetition of the bizarre April Fool blizzard of (I think it was) 1996 -- about a foot overnight -- but we were spared.

WE didn't get snow in Kansas City, just a very serious rainstorm.

One year recently we got snow in May. There was considerable resentment of that, yet the government did nothing. :)

Cold and overcast today in North Texas. This afternoon it is up to 48 degrees, so I'll walk the dogs, but I didn't bother to mow or do the garden work I'd planned. I wasn't sure if it was going to start raining again the moment I got all set up to work.

I think my irises survived the cold.

Mrrzy,

Not to worry... I was in Richmond yesterday and came home thru Ruckersville (10 miles north of C-Ville) and there was hardly any snow left...

Unless, of course, you like snow in April... In that case, sorry...

Well, well, well... talk about speaking too soon, baiting the devil, etc (Date: 07 Apr 07 - 11:33 AM). That skiff of snow is now over two feet deep behind the truck which I did not bother to park in "storm position". It's a late April Fool's joke by Old Man Winter... we have a storm well underway!

It's 42 degrees in Houston, and my mother called a bit ago from Waco to tell me that it was colder than that and snowing. It's supposed to be 35 tonight.

It;s supposed to be 80 again by Monday, but we'll enjoy this while we can. My long-haired Nordic dog refuses to come in the house.

A huge branch broke off from the large tree in my yard. Missed the house and the new roof but dam'n! it missed the fence too. I had hoped...

Neighbors lost apple and pine trees. No damage to the houses though.
Strange spring.

According to the local weather idiot there will be no more snow storms this spring. I hope he is right. This wears thin.

Boulder, Co -- all the roads and budding trees and little crocuses and daffies are covered with a sheet of ice. Very pretty unless you need to drive. If we're going to go out and do errands, we're going to have to chip our car out from a stubborn ice-mold.

Well, I can top you all: I saw a flower this morning! A little snowdrop, and only one, but the snow over it disappeared so recently that I'm struck.

The temperatures here in Juneau, Alaska, for the last three days have been in the low 40s and the snow is shrinking and receding and disappearing visibly- it's like watching corn grow in Kansas. At this rate there won't be any snow left in a week.

Had maybe an inch of snow in northern suburbs of Wash DC when we woke, but it was melting fast....now it's 37° and trying to snow some more. Pretty lame attempt, but interesting. (The daffodils are not very happy about it, though)

Well, Shit. I'm in Texas. Admittedly, it is "North" Texas, but it is still Texas. And it's SNOWING outside. I was going to dig a garden today and do some more transplanting.

I doubt this will stick, the soil is way too warm after the 70 and 80 degree days we've had for the last couple of weeks. But my irises are just beginning to open, this is my pallet, I did all of the landscaping myself, and this over-the-top, over-blown flagrant bloom of irises all over my yard (get the picture yet?) is what keeps me going the rest of the year--hoping to find more things to bloom longer and keep it looking so fabulous. So snow is not what I need to keep my irises happy. They're pretty tough, but I don't know if they'll bloom once the head has been that cold.
