It’s the same here. We’ve had some nice warm days, but are supposed to get snow on March 1st. Like they say, in like a lion. . .
Did you get snow? Our storm has actually been milder than was expected. The rain’s been nice with occasional breaks, which then prevent floods. Have a good weekend, Binky!
Hope all turns out OK!
Thanks, Steve! It’s been fine – much needed rain, a little wind, but breaks in-between, which is the good thing.
Hope you are spared flooding, Lauren.
So far, so good. Thanks, John, and Happy Friday!
Thank you, Lauren. Happy Friday to you as well.
Thanks, John! I love Fridays! 😀
Me too. 😀
Nice Haiku. Winter in my place stays for less than a month, and not enough cold. We don’t even need warm clothes. Have a nice time, dear.
Thanks, Indira, and it sounds like you have great weather most of the time. I love the warm weather, but once it reaches 90 degrees, I melt. 🙂 Our storm has actually been mild, so all is good. 💗
Not time yet, but spring was testing the ground it seems.
Cheers,
Eric
It sure was and it was nice. But the storm has been more mellow than expected. We need the rain badly, but it’s come with breaks, so no floods. Several years ago, Eric, our downtown was so flooded that people were on jet-skis “riding” down the streets. It was an insane visual, but it also looked fun. We all felt bad for the business owners, though, what a mess. Hopefully, that winter won’t be repeated. Enjoy your weekend!
Yes my daughter sent photos from Auburn where there was snow for the first time in her memory. The world weather is totally screwed up. They had quite a dusting in Vancouver WA where some of my friends live too.
I’m sure that was exciting for her since it’s never snowed before. I wish we would get even a light dusting here. You’re right, the world weather is screwed up. Our storm has actually been calmer than “they” projected with much needed rain, but breaks every now and then. So no floods! Have a good weekend, Ian!
Lauren, a couple of days of warmth and sunshine banished by the fierce winter storms! The country seems to be huddled inside for heat and safety … may Spring come soon!! Warm hugs xxxxx
You’re right, Annika, those warm days were so nice. But in winter’s defense, we need the rain! So, it’s here at last, but its tone is more calm than we expected. No falling trees or flooded streets, which is great. Looking forward to spring, though, and all its vibrant colors, hope, and optimism. Much love to you, my friend xoxo
p.s. so happy you liked my review.
Lauren, I hope you didn’t end up with flooding down there. Seems to be the time of extremes everywhere. Hope you’re high and dry! 💕
No flooding, Betty, yay! I told Eric that several years ago, our downtown was flooded with 8 feet of water, so high that people were riding their jet-skies down the streets. It was a crazy sight, yet, looked fun, too. Although, everyone felt so bad for the business owners and the mess they had to deal with. I also remember last January, our across-the-street neighbor’s tree fell while we were outside. So we were running for our lives to the front door, like in a movie. lol No injuries or damage, but a little scary. Anyway, this storm’s tone was more mellow than “they” conveyed, so all is good. We got the rain we needed, but with necessary breaks so not to flood. Have a wonderful weekend! So glad it’s Friday! ❤🎉🌼😀
So glad you didn’t get flooded. Have never been in a flood myself (knock on wood – we now live near two rivers but are supposedly above the flood level).
You have a great weekend too!
😁🌷🍀💕
Your haiku was not bluffing! Stay warm and pray for spring. 🌷
Thanks, Pam! Spring will be here before we know it! 🌻🌷🌹
Oh I totally know what you mean with these words! Winter doesn’t want to let go of it’s grasp on us ❄
Thanks for popping in, Christy! We’ve had mild weather compared to the northern east coast, so can’t complain. Hope you’re staying warm, my friend…xo
Winter and spring have been on a teeter-totter here. One day it’s cold and the next people are out in shorts (no, it hasn’t been THAT warm)!
You’re right, Michelle, and a teeter-totter is a perfect description! I’ve seen people all bundled up in warm jackets and pants, but wearing flip flops. 🙂 I’m not ready for shorts, too cold still for me, and it’s milder here than other parts of the country. Hope you’re staying warm, my dear friend. xo
