23F and warming. Going to start snowing soon then change over to a wintery mix before it gets above freezing and turns to rain. Will be above freezing around 7AM tomorrow. 
Supposed to rain heavily at times according to the news. I think it is going to flood every street that doesn't have the storm drains clear. The ground is frozen and will not be able to absorb the water.

Left my ears unprotected for no more than then three minutes and they were on fire when i got back in the van. Sucks to have an outside job.Denali n DOO said:
I just got back from the store wearing shorts. As cold as it has been 23F feels like spring time.Sib said:Feels like 8° today
Highs in the upper 20s tomorrow. Maybe I should wear shorts

36F and raining. Snow never had a chance to melt much before the rain started and water is not draining from the road very well in some places.
I was putting along at 40mph in a 55mph on a two lane highway with slush and water in the road. A car rideing my bumper passed me then hydroplaned when they got about half a mile in front of me and went off in the snow stopping just before the tree line.
I had a tow strap in the back and stopped to pull their car back on to the road. He was out of the car so i got out and threw the strap over to him and told him to attach it to the tow hook below the bumper if it had one. Making small talk with him while he dug snow out to get to the tow hook i asked why he was in such a hurry. He said that he was in a hurry because he was stuck behind stupid people driving slow and was trying to get home before his dad did. Time for this kid to learn a life lesson i thought as i rolled the tow strap back up while he was still looking for someplace to attach the tow strap. After i put the strap back in the back of the envoy i said to him that the other drivers were driving slow because of the poor road conditions and that he could call a tow truck because i was the last stupid driver whose ass you were riding. He was like i don't have any money for a tow truck. Told him to call his dad to bail him out and drove off. I've got little tolerance for stupid people myself.

Raining again and temps are dropping, supposed to hit freezing before sunrise and then there's "wintry mix and possible snow accumulation" predicted along with all of this rain freezing.

After 5 days of sunshine and near record temps (14-15C), yesterday and today we have showers and 10-11C, but the next week is predicted to be sunny and 12-14C again. Crocuses are bloomimg, trees are budding, and pussy willows opening up. This has been the mildest winter in the region in decades. The downside is no snowpack in the mountains, so we'll be hurting for water this summer, and the local ski hills all closed 2 weeks ago, when they normally operate till after Easter break.

I heard the average temp is "suppose" to be around 40° this time of year. WTF.
