Excuse me, Mother Nature - it's April.

7-14" predicted for Denver tonight and tomorrow. And you know what? This one looks like a dusting compared to what is coming in for Monday - Tuesday. The forecasters are speaking in hushed tones. I’ve had 120" (ten feet) of snow so far this winter.

CLOSE ON ITS HEELS IS THE NEXT UPPER WAVE COMING ONSHORE IN
CALIFORNIA ON SUNDAY. MODELS IN GENERAL AGREEMENT AS THEY SHOW THIS
WAVE CLOSING OFF AGAIN OVR THE SRN GREAT BASIN AND FROM THERE MOVING
THE H5 LOW ALONG A SIMILAR TRACK AS THIS LATEST SYSTEM. WILL HAVE TO
WATCH THIS ONE AS MODELS ARE ALREADY CRANKING OUT SOME PRETTY BIG
SNOW ACCUMS FOR OUR AREA DURING THE MONDAY-TUESDAY TIME FRAME. CANT BELIEVE SOME OF THE NUMBERS IM SEEING BEING THAT FAR OUT.

It looks we are going to have the warmest April on record here in the UK. Forecasters are are talking about temperatures up to 25C by the weekend, and it hasn’t rained for at least two weeks. It’s more like June than April.

Don’t worry. We’ll pay for it later.

This cold weather is seriously pissing me off. I’ve lived in the midwest my whole life yet I am still surprised when it’s 30 degrees in April. After we had a week or two of flip flop weather.

I love my flip flops.

I do not like my coat.

This effing sucks and it’s depressing me hardcore. I want to go on nature hikes with my boyfriend and go to parks, not wear sweaters and two pairs of socks and stay inside. Boo.

Chain law in effect getting home last night. 14"s of snow. Nothing new. But it did SEEM like spring was coming (mud season).

That’s what I’m wondering about for here…will there be a second mud season :smack: It’s a real treat trodding through snow AND mud in the driveway.

The warm weather 2 weeks ago here in Minnesota must have fooled folks. There was a 70 car pileup during rush hour last night, because of the snow. Um folks - How could you forget how to drive in snow that quickly?

what caused the Ice Age to begin, continue for as long as it did and then stop?

Just be a little patient - they come by every 10 - 20,000 years.

I was supposed to pick up my new motorcycle today. Now I have to wait until next week – if I’m lucky.

Oh, and people didn’t forget how to drive – they just already changed into summer tires.

The weirdest thing about the present weather is, because it’s so early in the season, half the trees are not in leaf yet. So we are getting summer weather with a late winter landscape.

Some of the trees outside my house are in full leafage, others in bud.

Another fine warm and sunny day forecast for England and most of the UK :smiley:

What!? There might be another one in ten years?

That’s the low end of the scale. With a little luck, it won’t be for maybe another 15 years.

Ya know, it’s not so bad getting snowstorms in April. And it’s really nice getting warm weather in March. And it’s enjoyable (though not very seasonal) to have a mild, snowless December.

It’s getting them in the same six-month period that has me ready to spit.

It’s probably going to rain here this weekend. The rain is supposed to have stopped by now in California, dammit!

At this moment, there is severe weather to the SW. Weather Underground radar shows lightning with it. It’ll be here in about 2 hours.

when it got done with you, it came down to indiana, pounded the snot out of the central counties around indianapolis, producing thunder, lightning, hail, high winds AND several tornadoes just about in my backyard, and ***then ** * it had the friggin’ nerve to turn into snow!!! :mad:

Apparently there’s a nor’easter predicted for Sunday/Monday. :rolleyes:
