It's snowing here!

[Ohio Joe]

Well it has rained most the day and now it's snowing. We're under a snow advisory. Big worry seems to be tree limbs that are soaked from rain may start breaking from the snow load... Absolutely sick of this weather. I'd like to see some sunshine and even sweat a bit from the warmth,,, but that's not gonna happen for some time - weather forecast stinks!

All I can say is, "Go south west young man!"

I feel for you. Sat on my back porch yesterday afternoon with all my sons and their spouses watching all the grandkids running and playing in the backyard. Weather couldn't have been more perfect.

The forecast for my area:

• Tonight: Clear, with a low around 51. Breezy, with a west wind 5 to 15 mph becoming southeast after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 20 mph.
  
• Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 82. Breezy, with a south southeast wind 10 to 15 mph becoming west southwest 15 to 20 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph.
  

Maybe this will hold you over for a while.

Well, Joe, aren't you glad you don't have to go to work today?  Minor consolation to be sure, but just the same...
Stay home and dry and warm.
Greetings from the sunny sanctuary state.

A very valid point John. Yes, I won't have to shovel at two places... Heck, it's May - I may not even shovel at one place...

Hehehe, that's what I said in April! " Even if it gets over top of this house, I ain't shoveling another lick!"

I didn't have to worry, as it started raining the next morning, and it rained for 3 straight days!
What a mess that made at the Rifle Range.
Bunch of idiots made the entrance road a total mess with ruts a good 18 / 20" deep.
I'm actually surprised the Club didn't shut down everything!

As the old saying goes; This too shall come to pass.

Stay safe brother, there's an idiot around every corner.

Well I will say, we've had some mighty weird weather the last 6 months. Some days I recall in December and January I only needed a t-shirt, and many a days in March through today, I've needed a winter coat. Crazy weather for sure.

I remember the days when we'd start our local muzzle loading shooting schedule in March at our local Range and it was always nice through October, even into November... I'd hate to try and set a schedule this year, if we still had our local ML group which unfortunately we don't. Everyone pretty much moved on for one reason or another. Probably the only thing that keeps us/me here is our Chadron Fur Trade Days Rendezvous in July every year.

Oh well, it is what it is.

6 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, 4 tornadoes , hail and flooding. I'd  rather have the snow, thank you.

Hang tough my friend!
I'm seeing some really ugly stuff with all this weird weather we're having.
Be careful, stay safe.

You stay safe down there my friend! I withdraw my complaint about my weather for sure.
