March 20 was officially the first day of spring, but of course it rained and snowed at midnight of March 19 here in Metro DC.

Whereabouts? We had over 50" of snow in February, an all-time record (Boulder)

It’s warm right now, but I don’t think the winter has been all that unusual, on average. It got ridiculously cold in November.

Minus God damned 18 degrees this morning, or -26 if you factor in the wind chill.

That’s it. I’m officially fed up with this winter. I can’t take this any more.

Just imagine how nice that week and a half of good weather in August will feel.

That is why I never, ever complain about heat in the summer. Those odd occasions when it’s 40 degrees (100 F) with the humidex, I am NOT complaining. Ever.

Funny as I am the opposite. You will never hear me complain about the cold as I figure I can always put more clothes on. The heat on the other hand I complain about all the time as soon as it is above about 27 or 28 degrees. There is only so much that I’m allowed to take off.

Of course, I will complain bitterly about the amount of snow. I think we currently have about 6 times as much snow as normally still on the ground. Grrrr.

Here in Baja Canada, heavy warm snow encrusts the trees and streets, giving it that frosted cake effect so wildly popular among people who don’t have to walk in it. Hallmark, MN.

_Feh!_

No thanks. Too stupid to have to go to everyone’s profile through a long thread when they can easily make the connection Weather –\> Where.

How can you even read these threads and getting any meaning out of them if you don’t know the poster’s location?

We got a solid 4 inches last night . I know because it all stuck on my car. Luckily it had been warm enough for long enough that none of it stuck to streets or sidewalks. But of course, I just washed the car last week and now I’m diving through big puddles.

Nonsense. It’s patently obvious they’re somewhere that it’s snowing. C’mon, kid. Elementary. Nigel Bruce could have figured it out.

8 this morning. And then I hear that it was 81 on this day a few years ago? I still prefer 8.

Fort Collins. Yeah it was too cold in November, but we had a couple of weeks in February that were much warmer than normal, and we’ve had less snow this month than we usually get. Boulder often gets more snow than we do.

I’m sorry I didn’t include my location. It used to appear on my posts, but now that I’m a Guest it doesn’t, and my anger about SNOW in the freaking SPRING made me forget.

We got even MORE fucking snow last night in Pittsburgh. At least it didn’t stick to the roads. I am so fucking ready for this winter to be OVER.

27 degrees on Long Island at this moment.

Friday when I was leaving work, a co-worker asked me what I was doing over the week end and I said, “Sacrificing small animals to the gods of winter so that they can finally be appeased.” It didn’t work and I offended a different co-worker to boot.

We need a bigger sacrifice, clearly. How about cow-orkers with no sense of humor?
