Even in the PNW winter hasn’t quite given up the ghost yet. Still occasionally getting close to freezing at night and not very warm during the day though at least we’ve no snow. I feel so bad for folks out in the mid-West and east of NA as well as much of Europe this winter. I don’t miss my days of living on the Prairies much in the winter time
Must be a truly serious news story for all three boys to be on the desk. Puck is busy taking notes too, maybe a new chart is being planned. Sure hope that’s actually spring behind Tommy and not a green screen shot :)
Sorry, Tommy! I just looked out the window and it’s snowing like mad. The grass is covered, but the sidewalk and road are just wet. It will most likely all be melted by noon.
Good morning to all orbsters and orbabies. Paul sees another doctor this afternoon to get some paperwork done before the further tests on Thursday. We were supposed to go and get bloodwork done this morning, but will wait until tomorrow as his energy level is very low and we want to conserve it as much as possible. The only time Yum Yum has left his lap in the last 2 days is when Paul gets up out of his chair for something, then she grabs a bite to eat and uses the cat box.
Southern Maryland usually skips snow. We are next to the mouth the Potomac and near the Chesapeake Bay – two good size bodies of water keep the really cold temps away. We had snow two times: once during winter and once the first day of spring (and it was gone the next day.) Here all the trees are in flower and the clover is out and bees are buzzing. Tommy would be happy.
We haven’t had as much snow here in West Michigan as some places, like out east and overall the winter wasn’t too cold, for example, I was a bit surprised when I went to the beach the second week of March and there was no ice on Lake Michigan. But winter doesn’t seem to want to leave. It is snowing out right now. They are predicting 70 for Friday, but then back to below normal temps for next week.
We have rain and 35 last night. Hubby got the garden tilled Friday but we decided to wait at least a week to plant here in eastern NC, US. Boy I hope we get the garden planted friday. Are any of you turkey hunters? Season starts Saturday. We have Easterns. Yes, we eat what hubby hunts. Also he mentors people / a n d is certified to teach hunters and gun safety. So please know he hunts the right way.
I never fail to be amused by people who think that weather, seasons, or “Mother Nature” should be arranged by a timeline that, while observable on the average, is not in fact as measurable/definable as we humans try to make it. Nature does not care that we have decided that the four seasons should each have three months to reign supreme and anything outside of the dates we determined is somehow an affront to us. The hubris of humans is in trying to impose order on things outside of our control. You would have thought we had learned when we tried to teach cats to stay off the kitchen counter.
Whoever came up with the idea that the groundhog seeing its shadow on Feb 2 meant 6 more weeks of winter obviously didn’t live in my part of the country. In fact, I am having trouble coming up with a part of the country it could possibly work for.
Southern Colorado got so little snow this winter that the Southwest US will be a bit short on water this year, but I still don’t dare plant anything in the garden for another 6 weeks.
I think Georgia is writing from memory here, rather than current weather. Western Washington is known for it’s mild winters. Also for being wimps about snow (due to the aforementioned mildness). Up here, more than 3 inches of snow and is a “snowpocalypse”.

Be careful Tommy and Burt. Winter can find you any time (in April). Winter doesn’t mess around.

I love how optimistic the last panel is – as if winter has gone away forever!

It’s -3C in Toronto right now. Spring doesn’t arrive until early May.

Watch out for those bees, cat. Their stings can get pretty nasty.

Love the 34 nor’easters in the second week of March! It sounds like an exaggeration, but it’s really not if you plowed snow.

I would like a BCN tshirt with just the first panel art on it. The 3 good boys working at the desk. Please, Georgia?

It was snowing when I looked out the window a little while ago. All my fault for washing the car yesterday.

“Winter can’t hurt us anymore” — you DO realize you’ve jinxed yourself saying that, right?

Tommy’s absolute joy in the last panel is the perfect antidote to this Winter That Would Not Die!

Don’t know about THAT. We had snow the other day in Kansas. It hurt. A bit.

Compared to the rest of the nation the central Oregon coast didn’t fair so bad.
No snow this year, and only a couple of hard freezes.

Goodbye, Winter, hello Spring! Spring is my favorite season.

As the saying goes: “In like a lion, out like lamb.”
Here, the lamb is flesh-eating. It snowed yesterday and today. So…poll: who has had snow in April?
