Your Weather (Page 5 of 12)

Wow! I've never seen more than 3 bald eagles together in the wild.

A foot of heavy. wet snow? Ugh!!! Talk about a workout for a snow blower or a shovel .......... That's some labor I'm glad I'm missing.

We do tend to have a lot of them in our area, but they don't normally act like this unless food is scarce. These pics are from a community called Sheffield Mills yesterday, which is about 15-mins drive from our place. Here's another pic of them fighting over the food, like a bunch of buzzards or vultures.

We can stay in our warm homes with cupboards full of groceries, but I feel bad for the wildlife when ongoing harsh weather causes them to suffer like this. Several poultry producers in the area often have chickens which are not fit for market, so they are discarded. For eagles, hawks, owls, coyotes, etc., this is the only food they can kind find in weather like this.

After a week of mid to upper 50's, we're back to 40F and a cold, all day soaking rain. As dreary as it sounds, I'll take this over any more snow. Looks like winter has finally released it's icy grip.

Finally had a nice mild day yesterday, the snow is all melted and the sun was out. It gave me time to repair the heat pump from damage that occured when the entire roof full of snow and ice fell and caved in the top. Maybe spring weather is about to arrive. Today looks like it will be sunny and mild. I really need a break from winter weather.

Forecast says we're going to hit 50 today!  I'm hoping the ground starts thawing soon... I've got melt off from the snow running toward my basement but until the ground thaws I can't divert it elsewhere!  50 though, a HEAT WAVE!  Might have to sit on the porch!  Maybe even pull out the grill if the snow's not too high in front of the pole barn.

A tropical 65 here today! 

No snow left except along the side of the road where the plows made their deposits.

That's OK. I was using some of those same words on Jeff last week.

Weather man is saying it going to get up to 82 degrees today. My wife has been after me to fertilize the lawn so I got the horse tied out in the back yard - he'll take care of that while he eats grass. May do a little tractor work later today and clean out the horse stall. Right now I'm going to eat a late breakfast and then get ready
for a nap.

We need snow here and you need sunshine,something is wrong.

I propose a HOUSE SWAP!    We have more water available than you can imagine!  Once all this snow finally does melt, my back yard will almost be a pond for a few months due to a spring fed well running through it that isn't draining anywhere (except clearly my backyard).  We've got a lake nearby as well that might just flood over the next month as well.  You'll have plenty of water!  I'll gladly take the sunshine off your hands and go by the old rules "if it's yellow let it mellow, if it's brown flush it down".  I swear, I can do it!   

It is strange though isn't it?  I can't ever recall any serious drought like conditions in NY and we worry about flooding every year from snow melt, but it's an ongoing issue in CA.  I remember being there last year and the people being so excited for a little sprinkle of rain and feeling so out of place for the water I take for granted (and complaining because I wanted the sunshine CA's known for - dumb tourist LOL).

OK. I'll stop complaining about our weather now.

What do you have there, 8" or so?
