It is beautiful! But dang it. No more snow this spring...says the girl expecting 3-4 inches of the white stuff tomorrow.  |

Snowing in northern Illinois. Huge fluffy flakes. It is pretty but I'm ready for warmer weather.

Two inches of snow on April 8 is not beautiful.

We had some snow yesterday here in central Indiana, but it stick around like that. It looks like we may get a bit more today. I'm so over this cold yucky weather.

Two inches of snow on April 8 is not beautiful. I wholeheartedly agree. I am one who truly does try to appreciate the beauty of my surroundings, but living in northern Minnesota where we see snow at least 6 months of the year and everything appears in grayscale for so long, I just cannot think snow on the pretty spring flowers is beautiful, at all. |

We had snow this morning and 1-3 inches tomorrow. Not pretty! I am a summer lover, so this weather is really putting our family in a bad mood. We haven't seen the sun in over a week, and it won't come out any time soon. The weather is my big vent for the day! It will be in the 20s this weekend. No matter how much people in our area don't like the warm weather, you do notice that when you get a warm day in March, April or May, it seems that you see many more smiles when you are at the store.
The weather people in our area said in late Feb. that we may skip spring and go straight into summer. We all assumed that we were getting an early summer. I guess technically they are right, we are skipping spring, but not with summer, with winter.

In CA, we are having such warm and wet (wetter than normal for our constant drought) and it's nice because everything is green and blooming and pretty... and suddenly I have crippling allergies that I've never had before  I'll be glad when it gets colder, or dryer, and spring is over for what ever is blooming right now. |

That's so pretty, but I hope it doesn't hurt your beautiful plants. It's raining here which is unusual for California (because of the drought), but then again I moved to the Pacific rainforest so I guess I can't complain because it's always damp...  |

We woke up to a dusting this am and it snowed huge flakes while I was running the kids around this morning. Yesterday, as I was driving my son to work it went from rain to hail to snow to sun in a manner of 15 minutes. I am so done, I want Spring!

We had snow yesterday in western Illinois, but it was melting as it hit the ground. At one point it was very windy and snowing heavily. The kids at school were all like ”It's snowing and it's spring!"
Just in the 15 or so minutes that we were loading kids on the buses to go home it swung from cloudy to sunny and back to cloudy and snowing and then back to sunny again. It was crazy.
Today is sunny and beautiful, but it's only about 40 degrees out.

These are gorgeous? Did you take them? Where were you?[/quote] I took one last weekend and the other two weeks ago - that is the Golden Gate Bridge out there under the mist. We are trying to get out at least a couple times a week to enjoy the wildflowers while they are here... |

I was in Boston from March 31 to April 3rd on a short trip with my Dad and sister to see the World Championship Figure Skating. On April 3rd, a Sunday we awoke to see snow on the ground in Boston. I'm from Annapolis, MD which isn't that far from Boston, but snow in April, what the heck?! It was beautiful, but crazy! Thankfully our flight back home wasn't until that evening, and it'd all melted by then.
Debbie in MD.

Such a beautiful day here in Idaho today. 81 degrees. I sat out on the patio watching the birds splash in the birdbath and listening to them hold choir practice in the blue spruce tree. We had such a mild winter. Only one real snowstorm and a couple of days with some flurried. The only downside to this is we will be overrun with insects that thrived during the milder than normal winter.

My pansies love the cold and snow. I have planted them in early March and they thrived in two months of snowy off and on weather after that. We frequently get some snow into May, so I am not putting away my sweatshirts yet.

 SE Texas a couple of weeks ago. We're having an unusually cool/dry April and I'm enjoying every minute! I'm not quite ready for 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity yet. |

This is what we have this morning. It's beautiful, so I won't complain. Lol   I love these shots. Off topic in your planter what are the tall stick things? I love them when I see them but are they just decorative or is it a plant? |

It was 15 degrees last night. We still have all our hats, gloves, winter coats, etc. because we need it and will for at least a week. Probably more. We have worn winter coats in May many times. Not happy about that. To me, perfect weather would be 85 all year! |
