Spring has sprung

[Robhuntandfish]

I almost had a thought of getting my boat our of storage tonite so that I could get it ready for some early perch fishing in April.....guess I will wait a bit.  

This was my office door last year March 15.

Oh, I know! The snowblower is already gassed up for Friday, but being on the lake in Hamburg I am far more concerned with lake effect next week now that the ice is broken up.

"Spring" in WNY absolutely sucks.

That’s misleading here as they never leave here. Cemetery road by Erie overpass. I’m sure you know exactly where I mean. Town dumps all the roadkill there. I think they’re too fat to fly 

I've never seen a buzzards stay..Hawks yes buzzards no.

Probably colder there for shrinkage.

It’s 3am and got quite a bit of snow so far. Spring has been put on pause for a bit.

Remember the bright sunny 50 degree days, this past Monday through Wednesday?   I use them to get me through the crappy ones.

  I just got back from Disney on Saturday after 6 days. I could not believe how beautiful these trees & others were!  We had 65-86* all week hated to leave & then land in Buffalo with rain, fog & 35* .  Loved the rides, the weather, but hated the crowds & lines of people!  It was my first time ever. 

Glad U had a nice trip. WDW is a “pretty “ place for sure. I should know... was an Area Manager there in the horticulture/ pest management department for 11 years.

travel ban here now - emergency vehicles only 

[grampy]

For only the 2nd time in 14 years our district office is closed, and I don't need to go in. Could get 30"+ in the hilltowns. Widespread power outages already happening, with multiple trees down. Picture at 6:45 this morning, just down from the farm property.  And the worst is yet to come. Spring has not sprung yet here.

in Albany county?

[Robhuntandfish]

 Grampy that doesnt look like fun either. I am headed home soon myself after i answer phones and be sure plowing is done for a bit. Gotta travel in a no travel area to get home and be damned I am still stopping for a 12 pack on the way home!  isnt that an emergency!?

The way in was def brutal this morn at 4:30.  Dont look any better to get home either

Yes. Town of Knox. Just above Thatcher Park.

Damn March! More times than not we get a doozy of a sloppy, heavy, storm in March. It is almost guaranteed. I remember one back in the 70's where I had to have a payloader come in and  open up our driveway. This one is a bit more than my ATV can handle. It's just too darn heavy and deep. Last night at midnight I took a look at the thermometer and the temp was 32 degrees and there already was a pile of snow. So you know that crap is the consistency of ice cream.

Got about 16-18" here, pretty ugly, great the power didnt stay off just flickered.For me another day looking out the windows, broken foot on right leg, fractured knee on the other, neighbors are going to wonder why their driveways aren't cleaned.

Missed a 4" step, hit it sideways, cracked small bone in right foot, hit the concrete floor full force on left knee, fractured it.Not my idea of fun sitting around for at least 4 weeks
