Is winter finally over?

March 31st, 2008 Author: Steven

Guess what we woke up to this morning. For once it wasn’t snow. It was rain and lightning and thunder. I think that maybe Spring is finally here. I noticed on my drive home from Lynne’s that things are beginning to green up now too. They are even talking about temps in the 50′s this week. WOOHOO!!!

It’s currently raining outside with a little thunder booming here and there. The forecast is for heavier thunderstorms this afternoon.  Only bad thing about this, Scout is not happy. He does fine with thunder until there’s a big crash right over the house. Then he’s ready to climb in bed with you :-)

I don’t have any pictures from this weekend. Just didn’t take any.

I’m going to try to start the change over to the new host this week. I still haven’t decided who to go with, so it might not happen. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Boy, I’m searching for something to write here. I couldn’t find any Sierra news and at the moment I don’t have much Steven news either,  other than I’m happy as can be and in love.

Sierra Snowpack

March 27th, 2008 Author: Steven

It looks like the Sierra snowpack is holding steady at near %100 of average through March. That’s despite a very dry March that saw little snow accumulation in the mountains. The runoff from this years snowpack is still not enough to fill the reservoirs though. You can read the full story here;
Sierra Snowpack Won’t Fill Reservoirs

Howard Sheckter is hinting at another round of storms beginning the first of April. Lets hope for one of the huge Aprils that can happen in the Sierra.

Remember on Friday my post said something about a storm coming in and bringing about 5 inches of snow. Well that storm came in on Friday and raged all day. It dumped over a foot of snow in the Kenosha area and turned into one of the biggest storms of the season. It was a good thing I left on Thursday.

On Saturday Lynne and I went Petrified Springs Park to take pictures of the snow. Here are a few of the better shots. I’m not posting all of the shots, it’s just to much of a pain at the moment. I will get all of them up on Flickr later.

Ok guys, you know she loves you when she’ll wade through a foot of snow to make tracks for your pictures.
