Good morning!!!!

Mousefield · Mar 12, 2012

Well it's not morning any more but it's not because I slept in.
We had a pretty strong wind and rain/snow storm overnight and into late morning. Up to around 90-115 kilometer per hour (60 -70 MPH) and even stronger along the water. Had a tree come down over the power line sometime in the wee hours this morning. Hydro just got the power back on a few minutes ago. Still a bit blustery with some rain but looks like the worst is over. There were over 40,000 people without power, mostly on Vancouver Island. Ferries are still canceled until mid afternoon at the earliest.

51F this morning, going to be another hot one for sure.

46F Cloudly w/left over rain showers..that should loosen the ice etc.

Ground thawing quick,enough so one can't walk on the lawn or even to think about spring clean up.

Well, Thomas' weather is over here, too; a LOT of melting went on yesterday, guess it'll continue for a few days. Burlington, VT hit a new record (again), 62. We didn't see that, but it was pleasant. Guess it's time to get grandson's basketball hoop out- he's been bugging me about it for two weeks now. Glad I have a tractor to do the heavy lifting!

"I was wondering is that the Post Mills airport you mentioned above? " Wayne, Post Mills airport is up near West Fairlee, VT, but Parlin field is, I think, pretty close to the Sugar River near Claremont & Newport, NH. Is that the river you mean? I've pulled a few rainbows out of there, myself!:thumbsup:

Good Morning All.

I think that is the area, there is a section of fly fishing / single hook and they do stock some nice rainbows. We aim to go there two or three times during the spring. We were in Concord yesterday and the temp registered 69 on the display in the truck. Not sure if that was an accurate reading or not.

Ice is going out on the pond behind the house and our son had his canoe out there yesterday along with the dog swimming beside him. One has to wonder about these bird dogs!

Mid fifties and raining, going to 72 later, sixties and seventies for the next ten days, it looks like spring is here on Delmarva.:thumbsup:

Warm 70's weather of rural central Ohio has a spring in my step and a song in my heart this AM.

We've had some much-needed rain over the weekend, but yesterday turned out to be a postcard day. It was 76F yesterday afternoon. My grandson is on spring break and we all spent the afternoon outside. This morning it is 56F and foggy. In the last hour, the fog's density has doubled so that visibility is now about 500 ft. I hope it starts to lift soon. My wife is taking my grandson and a friend to an amusement park today and has to drive 75 miles one-way.
