Rant; Winter 2013/14

The roads are brutal here. I'm pretty sure I won't be driving the Vette around town until they get everything patched. One big hit in a pothole and it's gonna cost me about $1500 in a new rim and tire. So it looks like it only gets highway duty for now.

I woke up to more snow. Maybe an 1", enough to cover the driveway etc.. Now everyone is just hoping we break the record, we are so close why not? HS baseball is going to be starting late.

So excited for tomorrow and Tuesday's 72 and 73 degree highs! Woot!

50's here. WELL into the 50's they say! I'll bet we still won't get rid of all the snow, we still have anywhere from 6-12" of snow in the neighboorhood yards. I did see a local HS ball field where some bare spots were showing. We get an 1" of snow Wed.

Most of the snow on the sidewalks in my 'hood is gone.

My 18 week old puppy loves it. All the garbage has melted out of the snow, giving her plenty of stuff to sniff and eat off the street.

Normally, the city is dirty. This is four months worth of garbage melting out in a couple days. It's repulsive.

66 today and 73 tomorrow. Crocuses are finally appearing. The male birds are singing like Sinatra. I heard one robin warble "Just a Gigolo."

We're a day ahead of you guys. 70 yesterday and today. 41 and snow tomorrow.

The snow probably hits you on Wednesday, so enjoy while you can.

The sounds of spring are definitely out in full today. Lots of birds singing. Lots of people stirring in the neighborhood. I bet my neighbor mows his yard by the end of the week.

It's snowing.

I haven't felt this in months. I wore my Cardinal spring jacket, the birds were chirping, it was glorious. Amazing how 40 degrees in the early morning actually feels good. I'm jealous of the 70's that you are getting not far from here, that's the damn snow pack probably playing with our temps. I'm seeing ground in many places, so hopefully we can really put a dent in it today. But like thirds said it really is a mess out there right now. Necessary evil of melting all of this nasty stuff, so I'll take it.

Heard a guy in the gym today talking about how they are actually having to plan/do extra stuff at US Cellular to get ready for opening day. They can't just let the snow melt naturally, they have to haul it out.
