As of now they're calling for 3 to 6 inches of snow Sunday in PA. Our crocuses are blooming, our Easter decor is up. Snow go! go! go away out to sea! (lol).

 

(Yes I know its already snowed here when Easter was in April, but last week it was breaking records here at 80 degrees! So I was hoping Spring weather has sprung!).

Re: East coast snow go go go..

I know what you are talking about I live in Colorado. Last week it was in the 60's and 70's. This week it is in the 30's and 40's and it is snowing today. I wish the snow would go away. I am not a fan of this weather. I volunteer at the humane society and was walking dogs in the snow today. It was fun but cold.

Re: East coast snow go go go..

Ugh!  I love snow but love it at Christmastime, not when our spring bulbs are starting to bloom!  Here in Illinois we've had some pretty decent weather so I decided to take advantage and rake up the yard, both front & back.  The fish in our backyard pond are starting to slowly come out of their cave and the spring cleanout for the pond is scheduled for early April.  It's so nice to see the bulbs I planted last fall starting to peek out and some are even blooming!  Stay safe and keep your fingers crossed that they're wrong ~ you never know!

Yeah, I just heard we could get 10" this weekend.  What?  Too bad it's not next weekend.  We're going away and it might be all gone by the time we get home.

My St. Pat's decor is still up!   Easter is coming early this year!   This Monday, Easter decor up, and then we get a break for a while!   💕   Sorry for your snow, hope it warms up soon!

@Shorty2U, we are getting a nor'easter Monday.  We had a light dusting yesterday but it's gone this morning.  Come on Spring.  East Coast Canada here.  LM

The good news is that any snow that falls this time of year disappears quickly. It's not like December/January where it hangs around forever. You can get a foot of snow and it'll all be gone in a couple of days.

@Shorty2U  When we were little, spring snow was always called "poor mans fertilizer".  Beats me why tho.

Re: East coast snow go go go..

I had to smile when I heard the "poor man's fertilizer" statement. I used to hear that too as a child and I never understood it either.  Last night I was out with my dog and I saw a beautiful ring around the moon.  I remembered my late Mother saying that meant snow was coming. Sure enough my puppy and I went outside this AM...and there was the dreaded snow! Yikes. I had to smile and say, hey, you were right, Mom.  Turns out that there is a scientific explanation behind the snow/ring around the moon prediction.  The ring appears because of light reflecting off ice crystals high in the atmosphere and there is usually a weather front with it.  Hence the snow!

 

Have not figured out the "poor man's fertilizer" deal yet!
