<p>OK, Mother Nature...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was 70 degrees almost every day last week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All of the snow in our yard melted.  All of it.  Even the 6 foot pile along the driveway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, it all melts, and then you decide to dump some more?  c'mon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

<p>That's because Mother Nature is a Southern Belle.  <span id="user_yui_3_3_0_7_130089839528634"><img alt="wink.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_7_130089839528633" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>AGREED!!!  It's 60* today.  Snow if forecast for later in the week.  Granted, my first HM was April Fool's Day.  It snowed.  The next day, it was 70*.</p>

 

[runfishhunt]

<p>We have a tornado watch right now with rain, sleet, freezing rain and snow all forecast in the next 12 hrs.  And it was almost 60 degs an hour ago.</p>

 

[4boysmom]

<p>We just had a pretty wicked thunderstorm blow through.  High winds and dime-sized hail.  Temps dropped about 20*.  </p>

Schools in the area are cancelled. Ours is on spring break...the white crap better be gone when I get back....

 

[ToddEP]

<p>Picked up 5inches in the SW metro area of Mpls.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Heavy stuff too.  Yuck.</p>

 

[Floridaboiler]

<p>Sunny, breeze and mid to upper 70's today, down here.  It might have gotten to 80, I am not sure.</p>

 

[GaReb770]

<p>I just finished my afternoon run.  72 degrees, slightly overcast.  Light rains predicted for later tonight.</p>

<p>Whoever said that spring begins at the spring equinox did not live in Vermont. There are two dates I can recognize as the first day of spring.</p>
<p>1.) Tax day, April 15</p>
<p>2.) Joe's Pond Ice out Day</p>

<p><a href="http://www.joespondvermont.com/iceout.html" target="_blank">http://www.joespondvermont.com/iceout.html</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Before both dates in winter.</p>
<p>In between is gray area.</p>
<p>After both events have passed, it's mud season.</p>

<p>March 28th, and it looks like a blizzard outside.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>we're still in school though.  But it's coming down, Man!</p>

 

[4boysmom]

<p>Are you getting out early?  Huh?!  Early release, right???</p>

I decided to simply say, "F$*K it"! I didn't even bother shoveling the walkway down to my door - Mother Nature put it there - Mother Nature can remove it!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The trails were just getting cleaned and now they're covered again - hopefully by next weekend I'll be able to run on them.</p>

<p>Sunny and 40-ish in southern Maine. But like the last three days, it's been really windy. </p>

 

[bap]

<p>25 degrees Fahrenheit with 30mph wind gusts at my 5K in New Jersey on Saturday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I should have worn more than shorts and a t-shirt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>

 

[GaReb770]

<p>We're in the upper 50's today after two fairly hard days of rain.  I'm hoping it warms up about 5 degrees or so by tomorrow afternoon for my run.</p>

Heh.  Didn't hear that at all yesterday.</p>

But, we didn't get out early yesterday.  However, the Super must have taken some grief for it, as we have a late start today, and were the first school in the state last night to declare a late start for Tuesday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully, this is the last shot of winter weather.</p>
<p>(and yes, I know I just jinxed myself)</p>
