F U Mother Nature (spring version)

*sigh*

Am I the only person in WI who isn't shocked when it snows at any time between mid/late October and mid/late April?

Nope. I remember at least once during my lifetime when it snowed in May.

[BlaqueKatt]

well we had all four seasons today in madison.....gahhh I hate this, I can't ride in thundersnow! And yes, we had rain, sleet, hail, snow, thunder and lightening.

I'd love to do some "Saw" type games with Mother Nature right about now.

Regardless of this being Wisconsin, it's rare for it to be continued as cold as it has been (save for two weekends ago), well below average most days, we've hit record snowfall totals, we've had 3 snow days at work this winter alone (yeah, it's still winter, by all means) and we can't even make it through April without another storm.

I'm in on the warning as well. This is NOT cool. At all.

I better not have to waste another 8 hours of good PTO to miss work because of snow in MID April. Or, spend another 45 minutes in tears and shaking in fear because I can't see where I'm going because of white-out and my car is literally being drug into the ditch by the snow and ice.

No Becks you are not the only person
snow can occur and accumulate any time in between Jan and Dec

Does it count that They ^tm are changing "Global Warming" to "Global Climate Change"? Where I'm at, it's perfectly average-- I checked on the NOAA site and everything. Unlike in Feb. and Jan.-- cooler than usual.

Yup, 6 inches of snow. Winter Storm Warning in effect.



Sodomize me gently with a two-stage snow thrower. Preferably from Ariens, because they make a quality product.

And now I'm going to pull a Jester.

The sun is shining, there are little fluffy white clouds in the sky, the city has cleaned the pavements of both snow *and* grit, and we're just waiting for the rest of it to melt by itself. The outside temperature this evening is about 10°C (50°F), though of course that will go down a lot overnight.

I can quite literally go shopping in a T-shirt and long shorts, if I wanted to.

You die now.



It's April fucking 18th and they think we could get 6 inches of snow here. Fuck.

Oh well, if you need anybody to blame, you might as well blame me. The swamp opened up its garden center this weekend, or at least was planning to.

I went to look at rose bushes over the weekend at the local Steins Garden Center and they had nothing out in the area except for some pine type trees and bushes. the local Clearance Swamps and Wally Worlds have nothing out either. I assum becasue of the )(%#)($%)(#$&^(*&*&*& freezing weather we are experiencing now and in the short term future.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

THEY'RE FORECASTING ACCUMULATING SNOW THIS WEEK.

Choke on your bloody tampon and DIE, Mother Nature.

Global warming is fucking horseshit. I can't see how anybody in this state could believe in it. Especially when we're still shoveling snow in the middle of April. >.<

Earlier today, the weather guy was smirking that "We may be under a snow advisory on Saturday if this pattern continues" and tonight they raised the temp forecast and made it only snow in the morning Saturday.....I wish things were easier to pinpoint.

[BrenDAnn]

It's raining tonight here. We had 80s and severe storms/tornadoes last Saturday. This coming Saturday, the forecast is a wintry mix and cool temps. WTF, Mother Nature??? Can we at least stay with steady temps for more than a week at a time???

[chikenlady]

We are supposed to be getting 10-15 cm of snow tomorrow (that's 4-6") and it has been hovering around the freezing mark for the last few days.
I am tired of winter...


yes I know it is spring, but you can't tell from looking out at my back yard. It is half covered in snow.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

According to the latest forecast, the only chance for a bit of snow this week comes tomorrow.

Mixed with rain, and it would at least go away quickly.

I say let it rain all it wants to. I'm working every day until Monday at earliest.
