I think it's supposed to be reasonable here this weekend and not wet. I'll likely be working on raised bed creation.

Well the last 200 cu feet of firewood from last fall is stacked in the basement.  There's 3 wheel barrel loads frozen in ice, so in a couple of days I'll clean that up.  ffsmiley

48° now and little bit of sun now and again.

No snow here yet. Just rain.
I thought I would wake up and the ground would have some white on it. 
I have 35° and not much higher then that today.
And of course, no sun.
Another wet weekend. Third one in a row.

Was 32° early and suppose to be 45° this afternoon. Was clear to start, now cloudy and rain this afternoon and Sunday.

Saw two moose this morning. Was ribboning property lines and marked a couple trails to cut firewood from.

Woke up to everything being white again. Been snowing a few hours, but not sticking on the warmer roads. Just touched 32° for the low overnight, 34 now, and won't see 40° or any sunshine today. Looks like this system is just circling around us. Not real typical for mid April here. I hear increased accidents on the scanner and wires down. I'm quite sure that higher up in elevation they have a fair amount of snow building up. 500' can make a big difference here in these 'storms'.
 One of my clients that picked up this week said they have had a day or two in the past few weeks that actually touched 80°. No such luck here, I think maybe we touched 70° one day and mid 60's for a few other days.
 Another day in the shop with a fire. :wink_2:

What a miserable day! We got an inch of rain/snow that lasted all day, 92% humidity, and winds between 15 and 20 mph. Temp topped at 39 during the day (high was 40 at midnight, then just fell off). Not nice at all. I got the temp int eh shop up to 70 at one point, but it wasn't enough. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Now that I think on it, in the last 3 weekends, we have had 1/2 day that was workable. the rest is snotty, but today was just as uncomfortable as it gets for a shoulder season.

I don't remember seeing higher than 40° yesterday, had some showers mid day, but otherwise was mostly dry. Flagged my woods boundaries, flagged some trails and did some yard work in the morning.  Damp with light showers in the middle of the day, then dry again in the late part of the day. Light showers or rain in the night, never heard any roaring down pours. Suppose to be wet all day here today, I here a light rain and wet snow mix. 34° now. A little bit of white on the ground. Looks wet off and on most of the week ahead. Have had a fire on here all month, but not all day long. I shall venture out across the drive way to build a smudge in the shop to keep the dampness away. ;)

35° and it's not raining out.
But we have showers coming and then a steady rain at 10 and rain for 12 hours.
No higher then 40 today.
Maybe Monday will see the moon again.

33°, we have an inch of new snow. And it is suppose to get to 50° here. It will be mostly overcast all day. I wonder where that so called rain was? Mixed in snow I guess.  ffcheesy   36° is all I saw for a high yesterday in all the mess coming down.  ffwave  No 60's° here until next week, might even hit 70° Tuesday next.

Says 58° here on the porch, but I think it's only actually 50° The sun is quite bright now and I suspect some reflective heat off the siding.

Got up to 80F here today but we have had tornadoe  watches and severe thunderstorm warnings all evening. Golf ball sized hail in some areas. We had small hail here but have seemed to have dodged the bullet this time. Tornadoes are almost unheard of around here but a few have hit in resent years. Hopefully not a sign of the future.

We've had tornadoes up here, but they are not too common. Never had any last year that I heard of. I remember one that hit a trailer home and there was nothing but insulation hanging in the bushes and the family was unharmed. It crossed two hydro power lines and never damaged them, went down through hardwoods and uprooted in it's path and was all done before it hit the river, that would be 2 miles from that trailer.

We have them occasionally, in fact I think they made a movie about it. But the wizard in that one was fake unlike our wizard on the forum WOC @tule peak timber   . running-doggy smiley_hairbow smiley_sun

Golf ball size hail does not do any vehicle good.
I have 42° and another day of 60° weather.
Have some showers moving in this afternoon but sun in the morning.
