Oh come on!!!

I've just about had it with the weather. It's time for spring and the travel season to arrive. It's snowing again.

Yep! We just got 9 inches of new snow today. Then I go up to the hobby farm and play with the tractor to blow out the snow from the barn and driveway. I want to make darn sure that I can get the trailer out of the barn on April 1st. And then get the heck out of here for 30 days!

Good for you man. We are headed that same way but a little later.

You might want to make sure you have some camping reservations. We did the March/Arkansas thing 2 years ago; found out it was spring break; discovered many campgrounds were full up!

Have a great time!

Actually trying to pick a place in Texas for next year. Try to make Spring Break reservation as far out as they allow.

Snowing here too. Only good thing is that all this moisture will help replenish the water table.

Good point. Also, Lake Michigan is at record lows.

I'm supposed to be camping on Friday and they are calling for snow tonight here in nc. That means if they see one flake schools are delayed 2 hrs, if the see 3 flakes schools are closed. And well 5 or 6 flakes of snow is a state of emergency down here and schools will be closed for a couple of days. Go away snow I need to work and I need to go camping this weekend.

Just spent 3 hrs on the tractor yesterday after work clearing out the fricken mess we got on Sunday and Monday. There were places the drifts were as high as the tractor and I still have to blow out the temporary corral tonight as it has 4 feet of snow in it as well. The highways were all closed here Monday morning and I drove through 3 ft drifts on the grid roads after I got a path blown out to get to work 4 hours late. This winter set a record here in Sask for snowfall they say.

Well we are in FL, came from AR on the first of March and we've had one good day. It got down to 33 one morning. Yesterday was great. I even got some sun, but it's cold again today and for sure very windy. However no snow yet. Good thing is we know it will get better.

Woke up to around 2 to 2-1/2" of snow. Drove to work and the farther East I traveled, the less snow and more rain there is. Originally called for 5 to 10 inches at home but are now reporting it will change to rain just after noon so the 5 might be pretty close. Biggest concern, Strong Winds, Wet Snow, Tree Limbs and Power Lines. Hope the rain melts away the snow on the big Pines across from my house!

We got about 6-8" in OH, but it's suppose to be 50 this weekend so it should be melted off by monday. We leave in 2 weeks for spring break in FL, but I've got work to do on camper before then.

Just got done snow blowing 6-8 inches of that wonderful white stuff, keep telling myself, in a month you will be bitching about mowing all of that wonderful green stuff. I think we have too much stuff around here.
I can't wait to get to the campgrounds, then I can watch them deal with all of their stuff, thinking I'm having issues with stuff. Need to see my therapist Youroo.

Look on the bright side...St. Louis is to hit Mid-60's Sat. Hopefully this was the last of the snow!
