Yikes! What happened to springtime?

Here I was, runnin' around in short sleeves... actually had to close up the windows and turn the air conditioning on the other day, when the house got too stuffy... but yesterday evening, I had to turn the heat back on, "just to bust the chill in here", as I told my wife.

Now, this morning, I awaken to find FROST... everywhere... the lawn is white! And the birdbath is frozen solid!

I'm sure it'll burn off and thaw as the sun gets higher, and it will likely be another pretty, blue-sky, cloudless day, as yesterday was (if a bit windy), but ... brrr!

Did all you frozen northerners and midwesterners send some of your weather our way, when you heard us gleefully celebrating spring?

If so, you got your revenge. If it's like this all the way to Florida (as it must be, since we are a stone's throw away from the Florida border), I shudder to think of what y'all must be dealing with.

Hey, Steve- if you're on the forums, I'm still up for a dig today. If you call me, we'll go somewhere. If not, I'll just stay home and work on coin biz. It would be nice to get at least ONE February dig in the bag, though.

    It all thawed out nicely and got into the high 50s or low 60s by mid-day, when I went out detecting, so nyah nyah. image

    Had a modest success, too. Nothing worth having a parade over, but not bad, either. Will post the DOTD writeup shortly.

    This morning it was 18 below zero. We have on average close to 4 feet of snow on the ground now with a nice snowstorm coming tonight that could dump as much as 14 more inches. Now, I don't mind living in a sub-arctic climate but I do want to see some resemblance of spring every once in awhile too.
    Ok, now back to the southern boohoo my birdbath has ice in it.image

    you snowbirds can have your snow and ice and -0 temperatures. That ain't even right!

    I guess it's the other end of extreme for us in July & August when it's 100+ down here in God's country!

    I think it will take a metal detector to find that airplane soon. We've had another 8 inches of snow on top of what is shown.

    Even though we have tons of snow on the ground it will only be another 60 days or so and the ground will be ready to dig.

    I saw on the news that Louisiana and Mississippi had tornado watches tonight. We have gone from winter to summer in the last week. Now we are into the hot season. Hotter will be next month.
