Shaun, that is a sign that spring is on the way......at some point...lol. Last year, winter just held on and we had a cold, wet spring that went right into summer.

Normal here is in the low 40's which we are going to be close too. Forecast is saying that there is nothing major over the 10 day long range.

We are in "roller coaster" mode but the trend is for warmer weather. A normal spring will have us mowing the first time between mid April and the first week of May.

We could easily have to mow starting the middle of next month.

I will probably take the snow blower to storage this week and bring the mower home and get it ready for the season.

There you go and if you do get anything major, it will melt in a day or so.

Pretty much Neil. Sun is now getting too high for anything to really stick around.

Any snow this time of the year has a lot of moisture in it so the sun really takes a toll on it quickly.

No snow down here, Neil. Nice day for cruising, even snuck into NC. An illegal showed me a neat border crossing that was surveyed in 1728
