ahhhhh kno, it's even worse when it happens in May :lol:

it's depressing enough with the quarantine, but at least we where watching the grass grow, then the white stuff came again lol. 2 days ago for us in parts of the U P, 45 degree's and huge flakes for a couple hours, about a inch I'd say, it melted all away yesterday, which is the only good thing, this time of year it's to warm to last long.

Yeah I was fishing last week driving the boat with a t shirt on. Snowed at my place last May 7th. We will get thru this just like the pandemic, the sun will shine again.

the cold is due here tonight, this morning I had 7" of heavy wet snow, 15 miles north they got 14" of it, my sump pump is running every 5 minutes again, hopefully this melts down quick, I've never had a water issue here till last year, and If I'd have moved that water pump from that pit into my crawl space I really wouldn't have one now, so thats whats on the agender this summer.

I’d rather be in 20 degrees over 90 degrees any day of the week!

Unless I am at a tropical resort, yes, absolutely.

Had a sun shower this afternoon, no it was not April showers that bring May flowers it was snow flakes. I do not like 90 degrees and I do not like 20 degrees. Give me 60 degrees please.

It was 86 the other day and I was talking with a friend who moved here from New York over the winter. I was complaining about how bad the Texas summers could get and he remarked "Yeah, if it's like this everyday it'll be pretty crazy" :lol: :lol:

(It was 86 and Texas summers routinely get to like 110)

He'll be wishing for 86 in a couple months.

haha, wait till he gets used to the 110 Deg. for a while, he'll have goose bumps when it drops to the 80's, I worked a summer in NM on the top of a coal fired power house 350 ft high, 110 every day, ya had to wear gloves and you had to keep your tools out of the sun light or they'd get to hot to handle, we used tarps to put a roof over our heads if we would be in one area for any length of time, I'am a fair complected guy, but I looked like a Indian at the end of the summer :lol:

it was so hot that the surface shale coal dug up to dry and use would just all of a sudden ignite, they kept fire trucks at the ready to spray it down when it did, good money, lousy job.
