Snow Lottery # 2 The Melt

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

Hey Kassy, not trying to rub it or anything but we've had Sunshine and temps in the 60's since Saturday. Highs in the 60's and lows in the 40s the rest of the week is my kind of weather, even if showers are coming Thursday and Friday. I'm just blaming them on my SIL in TX. I've been turning off the heat and opening windows during the day since Saturday. Today I went for a long walk in the woods, then sat in a chair and felt like an old dog warming my bones in the Sun. Yep, March came like a lamb here too. (Let's keep that a secret so the Lion doesn't know.)


Highland Heights, KY(Zone 6a)

Good idea, lol. That would be great if spring was here early, but not getting my hopes up!

FLOYD, VA(Zone 6a)

Carol we are on the East side of the mountain I think.. :))

FLOYD, VA(Zone 6a)

Hey Mom!! Just waiting on the bazillion feet of deer netting I ordered to get here. It is the only hope I have. Daffs are just peeking out and I'm hoping to get them surrounded in time.

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Neener, so you mostly get the morning sun. Now if you had the southern sun, I think your snow would melt faster.

FLOYD, VA(Zone 6a)

Yeah Carol if I had the Sounthern sun I could actually grow real plants up here. :0)

Marinette, WI(Zone 4b)

:-o

You don't grow real plants?

Don't tell me you like those fake ones like my sister does :-(
You can tell she didn't take after my mom.
I still say she was left on the door step!

Las Vegas, NV(Zone 9a)

You need to move that mountain 1 mile to the East.

Victoria Harbour, ON

Hello there, guess who's got weather in the 50's..yep, northern Ontario..loving it but know we've a few blizzards to contend with before winter says goodbye

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

Come on down South. We hit 70 today.

(Linda Kay) Amarill, TX(Zone 7a)

Now, you're just bragging. LOL

Victoria Harbour, ON

Oh boy, you have to remember though my going from winter -16 to 50 is wonderful..enjoy your heatwave..lol...I'm still looking at 2' of snow in the back yard..

Blue Ridge Mtns, VA(Zone 7a)

These beautiful days won't last. We traditionally get blasted with a Nor'easter in March so Ole Man Winter's still in charge.

Gosh taters, are you already wearing shorts?

FLOYD, VA(Zone 6a)

We actually sat on the deck this PM drinking coffee and looking at the melt. :)

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

Onewish, do you still have snow over there also?

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

That is how much you have NOW?

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

Indianapolis, IN(Zone 5b)

It doesn't look like that here now. Most of ours is gone except chunks here and there, 12' tall in parking lots.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

it's been high 40's & 50's the last few days.. doesn't look like much melted yet though

Las Vegas, NV(Zone 9a)

Well, we are all over the map. 68 Sunday, 65 yesterday, 45 today with rain and snowing at 3000 or above in lower mountains. Then by Saturday we will be 70s and the next week 80s. You can never try to figure out the weather in the SW. 2008 we had temperatures over 100 first part of April.

Did you see the National News tonight. They stated that parts of Chili moved more than a foot West during the earthquake.

Highland Heights, KY(Zone 6a)

I'll take snow over that, anyday...those poor people!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)
