Can't figure out the weather??....

We all know that the weather does as it darn

well wants to. Not even the weather forecaster

can really predict what is going on.

And the year 2015 is no exception. No matter where

you live.  Living on the west coast, we have actually

had it pretty darn good.  We have had one of the lightest

snow season this year. Last REAL snow we had was back

in January.. February dapped in it a smidge, but

nothing to really say we had anything. We just had

the piles left over from January in the different

parking lots and along some of the places where

it was pushed. 

And the East Coast was swing along in January

with little to nothing.. and then February 1st came

and I am not sure it has stopped snowing yet.  I

do know they got more than 2 feet over night,

several times.

They had ice along with it and the wind.  There

were pictures of the houses on Cape Cod... where

the wind blew the snow and ocean water over 2 story

buildings on the beaches, encasing them in ice as it

froze with the wind.  From Maine, down to below the

Carolina's, it has been on mass of snow and ice.

Now us.. we have had flowers trying to come up

for a month. We are all in the garden mode. We

want to plant.. and those of us with common sense

have held off. And it hasn't been easy. Green houses

are going gangbusters.  But we know.. we know

that only a fool plants outside before Mother's Day

here in Idaho.  All of February, all of March, and now

here we are with April coming on strong. And what

happen?  We got farmers fertilizer.. better known

to some of those new people.. as snow.  But it is

gone already. Inch and half gone with in 8 hours.

In New England, where I was raised, we had a

saying...... if you don't like the weather, just

wait a while, sometime during the day, you

will have one that you like...  And you dress in

layers from October to May. So you can peel

it off when it warms up during the day, and put

it back on as the evening comes.

But with all the water that is flowing thru the

streets of the mid west.. California has nothing.

Oh, how they wish they could pipe it from the

flooding streets of the mid west to California

lakes and streams.
