Spring is coming....

[drphill]

Meteorological Spring arrived on March 1st and "they" (a.k.a the weather fear mongers) made a big deal of it on TV Friday night. Saturday happened to be warmish (35) and I got the bike out for a quick spin....then the weather turned.

IF you happen to be a hockey fan, you saw what our weather was like here in Chicago on Saturday night (http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console...0&lang=en) ...I live South East of the city in Indiana and we got 5 inches Saturday night/Sunday morning plus and another inch or so of Lake effect "fallout". The latest "fallout" has set a new record (6 feet total) for the year.

Today was 5 deg when we dropped my daughter off for tennis practice this morning at 5am. Before we left, the TV was on and "they" say its supposed to be 37 Thursday and above freezing the rest of the week and into next week.

On a positive note:

I saw a bluejay, bluebird and a couple of woodpeckers on the feeder yesterday though which is a good sign. The squirrels are out too.

Our horses have started shedding which usually means spring is not to far off. Poor things have been inside since mid-December and can't wait to get out.

I'm riding to work Thursday & Friday! Weather be dammed!!! I have electrics!
