68°, mostly clear. Will not get below 60 tonight! beautiful day. Tomorrow hitting 83 and sunny. Next week the lows will be in the 40s. Spring has sprung. Dandelions and daffodils already bloomed a few weeks ago.
Yep! I never post when we have 'normal' weather because it is boring/bragging for people to read .It’s spring in the South.
Dogwoods and azaleas are blooming.
For the last week it has been in the 40’s overnight and 70’s during the day.
Every three days or so we’ll get a little rain, then clear blue skies for a few days.
In about two more months it will rain every afternoon about 3:00 PM.
Then will come heat in June, July, August. 105 in the shade is common.
This brings back memories.The Front Range in Colorado is preparing for a Snowmaggeddon that is supposed to start this evening and snow through Friday morning. Varying reports are anywhere from 9 inches of snow to 18 or 19 inches, depending upon your location. Places in the mountains could get up to 4 feet of snow. This of course is an ever changing prediction.
All the major school districts have called school off for tomorrow, but I'm guessing they will for Friday as well. Many businesses are planning for their employees to stay home.

A major, long-duration storm is developing near the Rockies and is set to dump large amounts of snow in Denver and the foothills and mountains to its west. And the sprawling storm will affect not only Colorado: Winter weather alerts for snow stretch from the mountains of Arizona and New Mexico to southern Montana. But the heaviest amounts are forecast in the mountains of Colorado, where some locations could see 4 feet.
Haha! It is so much warmer here than when I lived in the Dakotas, especially North Dakota. It was regularly -20 overnight in Williston, but sometimes colder. My first February in Colorado I didn't even need a warm coat.This brings back memories.
I might have mentioned this before, forgive me if I did. (I can't even remember what I did last week)
In 1968-69 I was stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado, south of where Weedygarden lives.
I was in a field artillery unit, and boy did the top brass take the word "field" quite literally.
We were "out there" for a week at a time with the big guns it seemed like every other month. Not really bad, sleeping in tents, roughing it.
HOWEVER, in the winter, with below zero temps and snow, it 'twernt no place for a Florida Boy. A maneuver would only be called off if it snowed 3 feet or more in a 24 hour period!!
I volunteered for Vietnam to avoid going thru another winter. I've still got the signed and approved disposition form - Request for Overseas Service in the Republic of Vietnam. It's framed, in fact.
Nope. the best way to see snow is on a computer. In your living room. In Florida.
That's just @Pearl, shipping off her nasty stuff .
We are under a fajita warning!!In between storms right now, some thunderstorms earlier, now its quiet, although we are under a Tornado Watch.:
