Did someone not get the message that it is April and that I live in Texas? It is snowing outside. My wife and I have barricaded ourselves in. We both grew up in the north, PA and MI, and refuse to have anything to do with cold weather.

That's one of the reasons I live in Texas. It is presently 36 degrees here in San Antonio. It isn't often that cool during the daylight hours on any day of the year, muchless in the month of April. It must be that global warming thing. Don't you think? I think I need to check my credits.

Gorgeous out here in the upper left corner. About 73 with fluffly clouds and a light breeze out of the west. The cherries are blooming and the wildflowers are out.

That's supposed to change Monday to a week of rain.

85 and sunny here in LV. The beer is cold and the back porch very inviting. Any takers?

Chuck"who remembers ALOT of snowy Easters in Rome, NY as a kid, in fact it's snowing there now!!!!"Jackson

Wow. Yeah, my parents were sending me pictures all day whilst I was working with the marching band during the spring football game here of all the snow. My dad said it was snowing "like it used to when we lived in Alaska." Amazing.

BTW Schlep, that's a pretty lonely stretch of road around Aspermont. My dad grew up in Rule/Haskell and we used to deer hunt in Shackleford county when I was a kid. Good work staying safe!!!!!

We ended up with about 4 inches. It is great packing snow. The kids across the street built a 5 foot snowman. They said it was their first. I should see if they can bulid me some snow bunnies!

But you forget, Joe, it's a DRY heat.............

Chucks perfect Desert Martini:

A super chilled glass

2 Ozs. Blue Sapphire Gin, out of the freezer

Whisper to the Gin bottle the word "Vermouth"

3 Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives, give to wife

Drink and enjoy

It's Gone!!! All that remains is a few lonely and melting snowmen. I love Texas.

Did an Easter Parade Saturday morning. 28 degrees!

I did a sunrise service Sunday morning at the exact same 28 degrees in Atlanta, GA. It felt really cold to us warm blooded southern types. All my flowers are gone. Everything, Azaleas, Peonies, Japanese maple, Crepe myrtle, Lillies, Iris, Snap dragons, Flowering plum, Astilbe, Ferns and even the Hostas, are ruined. I wonder if they will survive it?

While you are freezing in Texas, it has been one of the warmest ever Easter's here in England. It is forecast to reach 70 degrees later this week.

Strange, it is warmer here than Spain. The weather has gone mad!

Thanks for rubbing it in, Neptune. At least our temperatures a climbing again.

Don't worry, the warm weather will no doubt not last here anymore than your snow. It just seems everything is on it head at present!

i know i am a bit late with this, but yeah. This past February, i was going to play in the baltimore symphony side by side concert. the concert was called off because of snow, and it was a real bummer. They would later reschedule it to april 10th when there was no chance of snow. buttt the saturday before the concert (concert was on a tuesday), it was snowing, and kinda felt like february alll over again. but it did happen, so no worries.

Our water bill (Collin County near Dallas) has been the lowest ever. We can still only water twice a week for a short window, not that we need to now. Yet the water rates are being raised, because of lower usage and the need to cover the costs of the infrastructure. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. BOHICA! (Bend over here it comes again!).

I can't take credit for BOHICA. I learned it from an MBA classmate who was a Marine officer (BTW - he was an undergrad trumpet major at Indiana).

There must be lots of military acronyms - FUBAR is the only other one that I know of. Maybe other Tubenetters can enlighten us?

Man, today was a really sucker punch for Florida
