No thanks from here. ;)  I'm putting the window AC in today (should have a week ago) and usually it goes in the end of May here.

Village of Perth_Andover, NB is under flood. The hospital is flooded, bridge closed and at risk of failure, roads closed, businesses all closed. No power. There are 3 rivers that come together on the main St. John River just above town. The Aroostook, Salmon River and the Tobique. It's the worst flood ever seen and the town has been flooded before. Good thing it never rained in all this warm weather. It's mostly just water in the town. And it's mighty deep in the main river before flood because it's head pond.

And now, 1 day after being -18 again, it is 15 above this morning and snowing.   smiley_headscratch

I am ready for a vacation to Kauai.

A week or so ago it rained so hard on Kauai that they had to close the airport. Of course, if you were sitting at a Tiki bar, who cares about the rain?

I sat outside this afternoon without a jacket, what a treat that was. We finally identified the bright light in the sky, it was the SUN. 8) Same tomorrow then solid rain for a week so better get the grass cut while I can. Otherwise I'll need some sheep.
Record snow pack in the mountains, if we get a prolonged warm spell this early it could spell real trouble.

Today was a nice T shirt day for sawing.  Especially since I was in the shade.

A slow rain. I just got the peas,spinach and beet greens in and the garden was on the dry side all ready. The rain will be good for the peas and for the grass fires.

We drop-ed from the 70's to the 30's, the frogs were singing a week ago, Mar. 18. It always used to mean, when the Frogs were croaking, get the flashlight and the spear, the Walleyes were running.

Back in 76 it was -30 yesterday, we used to move in to a Tamarack swamp after the road restitutions went on and try to log and yard out 500 cds before the weather chased use out.
I have to tell you this-- I had a 65 Ford F100 that i had put a 383 out of a 69 Plymouth Road Runner with the 4 speed. We were coming out of the swamp about 2 PM, the water in the road was 12 to 15 inches deep. I was goofing around, throwing 20/30 foot roster-tails, i had dual straight pipes. Will with all my spinning i throw the rubber out of the carrier bearing. The water was level with the running boards. The only way we were going to get home, i had to get under the pickup to slide the carrier bearing back in place. By this time the wife wasn't taking, she was just staring at me. So i knew what i had to do, i held my breath and slide under, in that icy water and put the bearing back in place. The morrow of the story, don't goof around in icy waters you might have to get wet.

We've already got sweet corn coming up. Planted it 9 days ago and got 2 good showers on it and it just popped up with the warm temperatures.  8)

Spring is springing here.  Getting into the single digits at night but actually climbed above freezing yesterday during the day.  Thank God.  This was the toughest winter I can remember since back in the 80's.
