I love those Sasquatch commercials!
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

We went below freezing here in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma last night and this morning. I had close to a quarter inch of ice in the birdbath. I talked to a buddy up in NE Oklahoma and he woke up to snow on the ground.....Wonderful winter we're having this spring.....

I don't want to see anymore of that stuff. 80's today and yesterday.
Sure hope spring comes for Dwight and Okie Bob!

Minnesota means too damned cold and too much snow in the Native American language of the Sioux.

My online translator says that Minnesota means, "Easy spotting Buffalo on a white back ground".

Heard yesterday that Oklahoma experienced the coldest April in history. We were 5.5 degrees below normal for the month.

We are in frost danger for plants for another month or so. This year sure did drag on a bit. Spoiled from previous years. Heavy cloud cover right now, but don't look like rain. Don't need any more of that stuff.

I went and fished a local lake late this morning/early afternoon, the water temp was just 48 degrees the whole time we were on the water. Normally the LMB spawn kicks into high gear during the first two weeks in May as the water temps are normally in the 60+ degree range.

Coldest DAY in April on record though: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/capi...outhern-plains/ I meant to say the second coldest in Oklahoma history, which would have been wrong too since April 30th warmed up enough to take us to the 6th or 7th coldest on record. The difference being less than 1 degree. I did hear on the radio that this spring is headed to be the second coldest in U.S. history. All I'm doing is sharing what I heard. Please don't shoot the messenger.

Dwight, thanks for the last picture. Everybody at the nursing home is still laughing. Some of the residents need to laugh a lot as it keeps them regular. If they don't laugh enough they have to see Matilda who has bigger fingers then Condo does when he is displaying his 3 lb.(yeah right) bluegill. So as you can see you are performing a valuable service. Now how about teaching a bunch of old goats some history. When is ice-out? How long since the sun has shined? Where do you keep your dogs or do you use snowshoes? On a brighter note it was cold at the beach so the lasses had to step up to 20 lb. mono. on their string throngs. Could you post some of your ladies swim ware. It is amazing how fur, goose down and canvas puts the S back in -exy. The ones with the ear muffs are especially striking. Well I better go, I guess you are busy making meat before winter sets in shortly. Your friend, Ken.

What's a degree or two amongst friends....! It's still colder than it should be. We're usually thinking about swimming in our favorite lakes and ponds by now. I'd be afraid of "shrinkage" and hypothermia if'n I jumped in my pond right now! LOL!

For ONCE our NY weather is worth bragging about. Went swimming twice this weekend, though a tad chilly at 70 degrees on the surface. Those infamous "cold spots" were everywhere. It has been bright and sunny for coming on 10 days now. Went from brown and dead, to green and lush.
Now things are getting pretty darned dry for this time of year! We should break the drought this weekend since I am part of taking over 40 Cub Scouts on a campout for 3 days. Better call the National Guard and warn them about flooding issues where we are going.

Our local forecast calls for 28F degrees for the low tonight. Then on Tuesday the high is supposed to be 91F. In weather terminology this phenomena is known as the bungytemping.

I'll be rigging up the sprinklers in the orchard today. Temps are supposed to get close to freezing tonight, but below freezing Sunday night. All the trees have already blossomed. If running the sprinklers all night doesn't work, then it'll be another year without fruit on the trees.
I feel for the fruit and grape growers in Michigan. They had a 90%+ crop failure last year due to early warming and late frosts, I hope they don't have the same thing happen again.
