it's the last week of march, for heaven's sake

As I type this, at almost 8am, it is snowing. In Portland. During the last week of March.

I mowed the lawn for the first time last week! I replaced the rechargeable batteries in the solar-powered sidewalk lamps! I cleaned the space behind the shed and scooped up a buncha moss and stuff. I've gathered a dozen dead bicycle wheels for my fence repair project. I'm so ready for it to be spring, and then look what happens.

It's SNOWING.

Wow.

Fence repair

"I've gathered a dozen dead bicycle wheels for my fence repair project." I'm interested to hear how this works out! :-)
Yes, but the lush Portland spring awaits you!

Could be worse!

Go to Daily Dose of Image. The guy posts a new photo every day, great images. He lives in Toronto, and as it happens the weather there would be, well, much more challenging for a bike centric person than what we have. Many of his recent photos show those mountains of dirty snow piled on street corners, or city lanes filled with sloppy slush.

I know that every place is someones favorite place but sheesh, that would be hard for me to take in early late March and ealy April. It's like KP said recently, "...you don't have to shovel rain".

Re: Could be worse!

I have to say that mostly I was just plain astounded at the sight. Simply unexpected after the spot of warmer days and spring activities. Snow in late March? Wow.

It snowed?

Really? I missed it.
Drat.

Re: It snowed?

Are you serious? You missed an entire morning of big, wet snowflakes that lasted nearly two hours?
Were you out of town? It was quite a sight.
