1st Day of Spring!

[adymarie]

Oh no - I just realized that spring allergies are on the way and I can't take anything for them while breastfeeding! Misery!

It's a beautiful sunny day here but cold. It's -2 °C here in Orangeville.

Let me see - freezing cold, windy, rainy and overcast. Nope, Spring hasn't sprung here

East Tn is 34 degrees with rain,sleet,and giant snowflakes! Enough slush on the car to make a great slushy drink! Very pretty with the flowers and the fruit trees blooming!

It's barely 40 degrees and we won't see anything higher until maybe this weekend. The only thing that says it's spring is all our daffodils in bloom. Otherwise it is cold and icky and my shoulder is aching and the house is cold (old house). It's supposed to snow north of me and we've had a rain/sleet mix this morning. On the good side, I did get to meet and have lunch with Eileen/Eilcon on her way home to Cincy!

According to the weather channel it is 41 degrees here (but feels like 33). Doesn't feel like Spring to me!! Also says it's supposed to snow tomorrow night.

I hope not because we are going to a concert in NYC.

I can't wait until it's really spring!!

Put the reins on it and keep it there!! I don't want any snow over here!!

Heck no! It's blustery and cold! The kind that chills all the way into your bones and you have to drink 8 gallons of hot liquid and wear tons of layers to take the chill out! Brrrr!!!

Actually now that I've bragged how nice it is...we just found out its sleeting an hours west of here adn heading out way. So much for good weather

(feel better?)

No - I can handle the 100 degree humid hot weather Sooooooo much better than this awful cold. I'm still jealous!
Although - hurricanes?? -

 

[babyharley]

Yikes! I would much rather have the snow and cold rather than hurricanes!

 

[taurus77]

Great...just listening to the local news and they're calling for snow. Hopefully, I'm far enough south it won't touch me. It usually hits in Asheville, but doesn't make it this far.

I talked to my Grandma tonight and she said that its the 20th his year cuz of something, but I don't remember why

, she said it was on the news that it only lands on the 20th every hundred years or something like that? Maybe I'm wrong but I swear thats what she said!

I was confused @ first too - I always remember it being on the 21st too!

 

[sweetiecat3]

Well, today did not feel like spring temperature-wise, but otherwise, YES!!! It was sunny out, blue sky, partly-cloudy, and the birds were chirping like crazy, for the first time since last spring, like they knew it was supposed to be the 1st day of spring today!

But yeah, it was pretty cold - in the 20's, and felt much colder with 20mph winds. It was still kinda nice though! And to think a week ago it was in the 60's here....

This weather is confusing the birds!!!

 

[lisalee]

It was in the upper 30's here today and going down into the 20's tonight. Still feels like winter!
