Huge flakes the size of goose down. It’s coming down heavily, and it’s sticking. _sigh_ I was hoping there wouldn’t be any more snow this year. ---

I’d _kill_ for more snow. Well, maybe not kill, but I’d wound ya pretty bad. Maybe muss up your hair or something. Wants more snow. ---

I’m so damn finished with winter. Luckily, in my neck of the woods, Mother Nature agrees with me. I have already seen trilliums, violets, and jack-in-the-pulpits coming up out in the woods. Ah, Spring. Glorious, glorious Spring. ---

Send some of your spare snow here. If we don’t get any the whole state will be in flame in a few more weeks. ---

It’s stopped snowing for now, and the sun actually peeked out a bit. The snow is melting. Good. I hate sweeping the walk. I _do_ like snow! But it’s just not convenient for me right now. ---

No more frigging snow, thank you. While we’re at it, I don’t need any additional freezing rain or sleet. For the most part, this winter hasn’t been a bad one.; but, on the days when it was bad, it was really bad. ---

Supposed to thunder a bit today, with some rain. March is well on its way in. ---

We had evil snow the other day, but it’s gone now. We’re supposed to get thunderstorms some time today. WooHOO! I love a violent storm. ---

Our winter consisted of removing a pot pie from the freezer. Man, I’d love some snow. I played golf in shorts yesterday and broke a powerful sweat. I feel a migration coming on. ---

> [@lieu](#): > > I feel a migration coming on. Birch Bay and Bellingham have very nice climates. True, it rains a bit. And winter can be a little cold. (Well, it snowed today!) But the summers are nice. It might hit 90 in August. But generally summers are in the 70s to 80s. Lots of green around here too. But I’m finding that good jobs can be hard to come by. ---

Perhaps we’ve switched weather for the day, **Johnny**. It’s 60 and raining here in Chicago. Ah, spring. It’s going to hit 65 on Saturday, even! Of course, wouldn’t be spring in the Midwest without crazy temperature variations, so we’re supposed to get more snow next week. S’okay with me. The flowers are justjustjust about to start blooming anyway. And there are buds on some of the hedges. I love spring. ---

> [@Kyla](#): > > I love spring. I hate Spring. It’s warm and balmy today, and I’ve been stuffed up all week. My eyes itch and my throat is raw. I can tell Spring is in the air - literally. Where’s my Claritin-D? Or the Benedryl. That’s good, too. Ugh. I’m **dying.** ---

Just reporting in to say that it’s been snowing here, too, on & off, on the westside. ---

Snow? Gah. My brain is still defrosting from walking in hatless this morning. (lesson learned!) No snow here on the eastside, but colder’n heck. ---

It’s snowing in Vancouver, too. Started yesterday as a stinging sleet that stuck on the ground with a sort of Slurpee consistency, and turned to actual snow overnight. The poor little crocuses look positively put-upon. They came up under false pretenses. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-snowing/347701.md?page=2)
