Springtime is on my mind
Flowers blooming, all the time
Smell the roses
Smell the grass
Old Man Winter can kiss my ass.
("Springtime" by Spinal Tap)
I received the first glum report today around noon, from a staff member at one of my schools, that we're expecting more snow. Being busy, I didn't give it too much thought until I got home and sat down at the computer. Logging on to Weatherbug, I received a delightful surprise: the forecast for Thursday was a high of 74 and a low of 60. "Wow!" I thought. "They sure were wrong on that snow thing."
And then I saw: "Your local weather for Atlanta, GA."
ARGHHHHH.
According to Weatherbug, we'll be slogging through a few more inches of snow the next few days. I'm guessing that's not a kiss that Old Man Winter gave us in our ass.

Not to rub it in or anything, but...it is going to be 75 degrees here, AND the azaleas and dogwoods are in full bloom, the trees have greened up, and the tulips & daffodils have already bloomed (and are actually kind of wilty now).
However, we will have to contend with three to four straight months of generally 90+ degree heat & wretched humidity, starting in June.
AND we're still in a severe drought. At least your snow is precipitation that keeps you from the dry conditions we have here!
So, with that severe drought you're having, are you being forced to abide by flushing rules? You know: If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down.
No, things are so bad that we go with: "If it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, keep it around."
And let's not forget how bad spring is here. Today's pollen count was 2,089. Keep in mind that over 120 is considered "extremely high." Our cars are dusted greenish-yellow.
Hey, that song just randomly popped up on my iPod at work. Spinal Tap rules.
