It must be spring. We were able to get the snow drift removed, and open the outhouse door.

@boondocks ; I was just looking at the weather maps and see where you are going to get another "round"..... we went from 38 and some snow and cold rain/sleet last Monday, to 80 the last 2 days and actually "hot" in comparison. Luckily, this system will be rain but potential for winds and downpours. It actually has gotten so dry they had a fire alert and banned burning for 2 days due to the high winds. It has certainly been feast or famine here. I really do feel so bad for you getting all that "winter" up there still.

Could see over a foot of snow in the next few days UP here. The way the winter keeps dragging on we might hit 300 inches of snowfall yet this season.....

MSP airport is at 13" and it is still snowing. Should be an all time storm record for April. We only have a couple inches from this storm but that is enough to cover the icy base for some nice snowmobiling!
I have a lean to full of heifers with new calves. They need to go out to to pasture but we had wind gusts up to 45 mph yesterday. So, more hand work today to keep them comfortable.

Thanks, I'll take all the sympathy I can get right now! We're stuck in a Maytag of crazyhigh winds with freezing rain and snow, wind chills getting too close to zero, and gonna stay mostly this way several days. Looks better starting about a week from now--sure hope so. Our grass is weeks behind, and we're usually very slow to green up anyway. Hoping the hay holds out. We're looking at turnout in June at this point...

Spring is slowly coming here.. we're behind as well, though not as much as you folks... Got some little flowers out, buttercups 2 weeks ago, willow is leafing out.. grass just starting to wake up

It got up to 89 degrees Saturday. Now it is 35 and we have had nearly 4" of rain in the last 24 hours. Calling for possible snow tomorrow.

Got a bit over 3" rain but tornados in several places. Luckily winds were not that bad here but they were strong. Now supposed to get down to the upper 20's - low 30's tonight with severe FROST warnings. Can't win although the rain was welcome. Cannot imagine still getting snow....

Snowing here again, and we are still plowing over a foot of snow to find places to put calves. There is still snow in lows of over two feet. Ugg. Saturday night was the first night since the start of November it did not free hard here.
Had to stop selling hay the local people we supply horse hay too. We should have hay to last till June.
No forest fires, so that is good.
