Where is spring?

Lindsey I can imagine how you're feeling. I've been calling for spring here since December...LOL. We've had a lot of rain too and the farmers are not able to get into the fields. Just when one thinks they may be able to, that the ground is dry enough...it rains again. Was nice yesterday and so far today, but tonight and tomorrow they are calling for bad storms with rain, hail, and damaging winds. I know that sounds bad......but at least it's not snow. Build one last snowman and pray for warmth.

The cold weather is supposed to continue through the weekend. Yesterday afternoon the snow turned to rain. On my way home, the rain turned to hail. Then it wasn't long until it was snowing again. This morning was bright and sunny, but the ground was still covered in snow All our nice green grass is now freezing! And I couldn't find the cover for my motorbike in time either, so I hope the snow isn't going to hurt the plastic fairings!
It's funny, my parents have a miniature american eskimo dog. When I was home on the weekend and it was gorgeous outside, my dad said "Sage must know something we don't know, because he hasn't started shedding at all yet" Usually by this time, our whole back yard is filled with balls of white fur. But I was playing with him and hugging him and didn't even get a hair on me! Now I know why
Right now it is 3 degrees C... That's 37 degrees F.
I'm sorry it's so dry down there Marilyn! I guess in a way we did need the snow... although I'd rather it be rain! Last weekend we took a drive out to our cabin and noticed large FIRE BAN signs everywhere, so I guess it was pretty dry out there too. It's unusual to have fire bans this early in the year.

You're just getting everything all at once, Lindsey. Snow, hail, and rain. We've got another storm coming our way again. It's just a county away and is suppose to be bad so I'm keeping an eye on the weather. My husband's ready to get in the field but like all the other farmers, it's just too wet to plant. Next week there's not a chance of rain so hopefully things will get dried out enough to get in the fields.

Marilyn, I'd be more than glad to send rain down to Corpus Christi, if I could just figure out how. Actually, our rain goes down the Mississippi eventually. They just need to run a big irrigation ditch over to CC!!!

As my grandma said last week, "Only in Saskatchewan can you have all four seasons in one day!"
On Sunday it was beautiful! I got a tan sitting outside in the morning, while my dad and brother and his girlfriend got sunburns! We decided to go out to the lake, and as soon as we got there it started raining lightly. But it wasn't long before it was sunny again, just a little cooler. When we got back into town, the clouds were back and it just started pouring! That soon turned into hail. Then just after midnight, it started snowing!

That is so cool! I know you don't like it and are wishing for spring already, but that is just amazing.
