Few more from this morn...

LongBlade you captured some very lovely scenes.

Did not succeed in capturing the momentary phenomena of simultaneous sun, rain, and hail

QS - Were those photos that bad or was it just the sight of snow to warrant 2 ?? ... or did you hit the wrong thumbs??

Good Grief! Please accept my apologies. In fact I thought your photos were beautiful. It seems that sometimes what is left of my brain gets disconnected from my fingers. Again, I am very sorry.

QS - - I was sure it was just a mistake on the thumbs just based on your nice comment and truly didn't take any offense to it my friend ... I thought for a second maybe you didn't like snow .... Its all good my friend!!

Well.. It seems just about every yr we get a snow storm around St. Pats Day give or take.. Sooo.. We got 2-6in coming tonight into tomorrow!! I remember back a few yrs where we got 3ft on St. Pats Day... This stuff needs to go away already!! John

My phone went crazy yesterday with an emergency alert that there is a flash flood warning being put into effect for the areas near where the Thomas Fire burned due to a rain storm that started this morning. Since the Montecito mudslides, they have been sending these alerts every time rain is forecast. We're not in the affected area, so there's nothing for us to do.

Soo.. Still snowing here.. So far I would say about 3-4in of heavy, wet snow.. I am hoping this is the last of it.. Gotta do my snow removal duties as soon as it decides to stop..

I don't know how gd puts up with this stuff up there in Maine??!! John

Come on already, it's spring. Snow ain't supposed to be here anymore.

Sam I feel the same way.

Biggest snowfall ever recorded in Birmingham, Alabama, twenty-one inches, occurred in April.

Snow has returned.

Snow day at the school I work for.
Fortunately snow forcast hast dropped from 8-12 to 3-5.

We're currently under a "Flash Flood Watch". It really hasn't rained that hard where we are, but it is probably raining much harder in the hills above.

Enjoying a rare snow day in Alexandria, hoping for enough to break out the XC skis for the first time in 2 Winters.

10 to 12 inches snow. Still comin' down too. When I skied this would be good news. Not so much now.

We got 6in or so on this side of Pa and it is still snowing.. But the weather guessers said its done??? I don't know what window they are looking out!!! John

John they actually were near being right over hear. Glad I invested in a good snowblower 2 years ago. Have used it some this year.

I'm hoping we don't see any of that white stuff tonite

AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!! Alaska Airlines just canceled our flight tomorrow morning to Maui. I'm guessing the issue is that the plane can't get to Los Angeles from wherever it is now (probably the Northeast). My wife is on the phone with Alaska trying to get us rebooked. We have a condo booked and that's non-refundable. So, any delay just shortens our stay on the island.

While on Maui, rent a convertible and take the drive along the Hana Coast. Fascinating drive, more so for the passenger than the driver though.

Watch the sunrise from the top of the volcano, too. You’ll need jackets.

Yup, it is not our first time on Maui, I think this is our 5th trip there. When you live on the West Coast, getting to Hawaii is *normally* not a big deal - it is usually easier to get to Hawaii than it is to get to Florida.

Well, they did get us on a flight with another airline - of course our nice pre-selected seats are gone and now we're in the back. We're also now leaving at O'Dark:30 in the morning, so I guess I better try to get some sleep!

Winter is coming...

Eustace

You are about on the same latitude as me in Pennsylvania. You should be seeing spring too as soon as that white stuff melts.
