Yay!

It's snowing for the second time today. After last Summer's
unbelievable drought conditions, it's nice to see. There for awhile,
CO and KS were the two most drought stricken states in the union. A
snowfall map, posted online last Fall, predicted NV, UT, and CO would
get the most heavy snows, this Winter. NV fell behind, but CO and UT
are right on schedule. This is awsome, as the water flow in the
Arkansas R has doubled in the last 4 days, jes like it's supposed to.
Last Summer, the river never did rise. Not one bit. It typically
rises about 2 ft during Spring runoff.

It snowed 3" here in the "banana belt", early this morning and it
melted away. It's snowing again, now, and supposed to snow more,
tonight. Wow! Jes now saw a big ol' badger running along the river
bank across the river and yesterday saw the first rafters of the
season. Colder'n the dickens. Might have known, as I jes put winter
toggs in storage. No prob. It'll be 65F in two days.

Yay!

Meanwhile, in the southern hemisphere... we also have some snow here
on the peaks. Crazy that it's still snowing where you are.

That's a shame. It was a gorgeous day here. It could be like this every
day of the year and I would be happy.

I love it, Dave!

I've lived in a hot sweaty climates all my life. Was proud I could
move furniture in 105F temps. Then moved to snowy CO. I freakin'
love it!! I guess I'm the exact opposite of the person who grew up in
brrr cold snowy seasonal climes all their lives and finally escaped to
hot sunny environment. I'm home, snow and all.

I like snow and winter .... for a while. I just get tired of it and look
forward to nicer weather. It rarely gets higher than 90 here.

That sounds pleasant, Dave. We're just east of Denver on the prairie
about 100 miles east of notbob and our weather goes from below zero to
above 100 degrees. Sunday it was 80 degrees, it has been snowing here
for 18 hours and we have about 5 inches on the ground. It will be in
the 70s by the weekend. The Rockies had relatively sparse snow until
the end of February but it feels as though it has snowed in the mts.
every day since. And they haven't lifted the water restrictions here in
the cities.

I am sick of this wacky weather! No snow here and really not much to speak
of for the year. I think we had one or two days of a few light flakes and
one day where it stuck for a few hours. But there sure has been ice on my
van windows overnight and it's darned cold! I have a long sleeved thermal
top on today. Supposed to be in the 80's over the weekend but I shall
believe that when I see it.

Too true, gloria. It has snowed almost twice per wk since early Mar
and lord knows we need it. Sure, it's only 2-5 inches per snowfall
and it's all gone in 12 hrs, but we need it soooo bad. The creek is
up and the birds returning.

The pair of doves that raised a pair of chicks in the tree jes outside my
window, last year, have been snooping around for a return engagement,
but the late snows have confused them. I hope they return and do it
again.

This may be the most glorious Spring since I moved here.

Thre inches @ 2200hrs. Love it!

I remember snow in Denver the day before Mothers' Day in '67 or '68.
Not much and didn't last long.

Glad you are getting some relief from the drought, every little bit
helps. It sounds like your rivers will be rising, now.

The drought in Texas was 2010-2012, and we seemed to have wildfires and
grass fires all over the place. Here at the house, we lost 5 huge oak
trees that had to come down, plus a couple of trees in the wooded areas,
and we still have a burning ban. Right now, our drought is in south
Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, where Janet Wilder lives. This is where we
grow much of our crops.

I would rather live in a place where we have to tolerate a few months of
winter and the snow that comes with it than to live where it is
extremely hot, or worse, hot and humid. You can always put on a sweater
and a pair of gloves. It is easy enough to deal with the cold. Heat is
much more difficult for me to cope with.

Yep. I learned about humidity when I joined the service. Stepped off
an air condition plane into a sauna named TX. The sun wasn't even up
and it was already so hot and muggy I felt slightly ill for a few
seconds. A screaming drill sargeant distracted me from that problem. I
vowed to never live east of Denver.

The way you feel about heat and humidity, is the way I feel about cold
weather. I believe our bodies get conditioned to the weather we live in.
The Gulf Coast area is hot and humid, that is for sure. I like it hot,
and you will rarely see me break a sweat. Our thermostat is set for 78.

I never thought I'd get used to hot weather. I did. I do have to be
careful not to get overheated. I wear a hat if I go out in the sun.
Stay hydrated. I could NOT live without A/C in the summer! But I'll
say no thanks to snow and ice. I had my fill of that during my many
years of living in the Memphis area. At least in SC I will never have
to scrape ice off my car.

I grew up and lived into my 40's in the hot humid South. I've been
in the Pacific NW since 1987. I figure I've gone native because
if it gets 75 or over I think it's too hot.

Fortunately here it's a mild winter, lots of snow in the mountains but
down here at sea level we only have a couple of snows a year with
mild winer temps.

I love it here so much. Don't want to go anywhere else to live.

I almost moved to Sequim. But, after 2 yrs in OR, I couldn't handle
the unrelenting overcast. Loved the temps, but as a native CA boy, I
gotta have sun! Even here in the snowy Rockies, we get more sunny
days than not. Like Jill, I've become acclimatized. When it hits
55F, I'm in shorts and a tank top and if it gets over 75F, I go into
siesta mode.

On the positive side, when spring arrives, lawnmowers, line trimmers and
blowers will start up on the first pull.

Shreveport, LA was the farthest north I ever lived, and it snowed every
winter, the snow did not stick, but it was way too cold for me. High
temps in the summer reached 109.5.

That's hot! Specially with humidity. Phoenix in July is 105F by 10am
in the morning, every day. I spent an Aug in IL. How can it be
possibly be 102% humidity? I swear I'd move to Thailand or India, but
I can't handle humidity and I hear SE Asia is the worst. Worse than
IL? I was fortunate to not have served in Nam. Here, 91F is the

Southern Thailand around Bangkok was brutal, high 90s both temp and
humidity. The country was beautiful and I'd love to go back but I don't
know if I could stand the weather.

The northern mountains were a pleasant relief, much cooler and drier.

Gee my husband and I were in thongs on the Missouri river today! We
don't wear life-jackets, we like to go for it. Then we came home and
heated up a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup on top of the
stove in a Corell dish, because my husband likes exotic fare. Then we
decided to pile into our Buick Riviera and get to the liquor store for
more Smirnoff Whipped Cream stuff. I can get raped by ten store
clerks and not know it! But we are all allergic to Velveeta. Do you
have a recipe to share?

Jinkies! Turns out that storm I was delighted over was a major record
breaker.

<http://www.wunderground.com/news/winter-storms-achilles-10-strangest-20130502>

Even though it was still snowing on the morning of the 2nd, we only
got about 3"-4" max. That's why this valley is called the banana
belt. We have an entire range of 14K ft peaks jes a mile or so west
of us and all the moisture get's dumped on them. All the snow in the
valley was melted by May 3 and yesterday was up to 62F.

That's the first time I've heard of a winter storm being officially
named. Apparently, a new thing with the weather service, too, as you
will note the name starts with an A. Whatever the name, the snow
levels insure a good water flow in the Arkansas R, this year. Lawdy,
do we ever need it!

Last summer, almost all of CO and KS were D4.
