OT - Crazy Weather

I just had to say something. Popped into the office (which doesn't have it's blinds up yet), lo & behold - it's snowing. Honestly - maybe we should move to New England after DH can leave the current employment with his pension! Supposedly the flurries today will become snow that sticks tomorrow - only an inch or so, but still.

Weird. I understood this when I lived in Pittsburgh - then as soon as I took the snow tires off it would have a real snow (April 17th - my first year there).

Well, I guess it's kind of appropriate - we're going to the last CAPS game of the season, so it's hockey weather. DH got to ref the CAPS alum game last night, and of course go out with the boys after so he's really having a hockey weekend for April. They actually had flown in alums from Toronto, and further parts - lots of fun for the guys, DH & our pal who was the other ref. And of course, for no reason, he threw out the center at one of the first face-offs - our friend who is the color announcer for the CAPS. Consequently, said friend "checked" his shinpads at the next face-off opportunity. All in good fun.

I was just talking to my MIL in NH and she said she sent us the snow. Thanks, Moms! It's my favorite time of year - schizophrenic weather and the hockey and baseball seasons overlap.

LOL - there is that. Makes me feel right at home with that confusion of personality.

No-one has stated the obvious. Crazy weather is *always* caused by anthropogenic global warming. (Ducking and running).

You mean Global Warming is why so many games have been Snowed Out this week? I would've thought they'd be called on account of flood from the rising sea levels. ;)

Why this thread just appeared is known only to the gods of the net....

But, we got pounded in NH - about 8 inches of wet heavy slushy snow. Lots and lots of downed limbs and power lines. (we lost 3 6" diameter branches from the big pine in the front yard)

Hockey season is winding down in our house. DS has playoffs next weekend and DD's season was over a week ago. She starts a skills camp on Wednesday with new skates as she had gone up over a skate size from the old ones.

You could have kept it there, but no, you passed it on! It's quite a lovely fall here, about 8/10 inches and it is just sitting on the trees (I know, doing more damage) but it does look pretty as snow falls go.

You know me, Karen!!! I am just p****ed off with all the news about global warming and how much damage it is going to do in the future. You cannot watch any news channel without some item about what the IPCC is saying in it's latest reports. The trouble is that the IPCC science is fundamentally flawed. But they have been very cagey. They publish all the scary results first, but they dont publish the science until next month. So they have a free run for their dire predictions, and we as scientists, cannot refute their arguments, yet. We have to wait until next month. Maybe, just maybe, (but I am not holding my breath) we knock out the kingpin of the IPCC arguments that claim that anthropogenic global warming is real.

Not hard to tell you no longer have to shovel it, Sheena! :) It does look pretty but is very heavy to move. DH said it was the most snow he had to clear so far this year.

I think I saw some sleigh trails as well as rabbit tracks this morning.....I think the Easter Bunny must have called on Santa for some help! :)

You are so right of course lol I can see the families out in the driveways of the houses below my windows and I felt a certain sympathy. I did my time though !

Does the Easter Bunny - who after all is an egg laying rabbit - actually need help ?? Other than psychiatric ??

But you live in NE - that's supposed to happen.

On the kinda' hockey side. DC - full of tourists this weekend, we're driving downtown on Sat for the last CAPS game of season - and we drive through the tidal basin area. Poor tourists - so many looking miserable - bundled up and the indignity of the cherry blossoms having been blown away. And in the afternoon - evidently and enormous line around the National Archives for whatever the current exhibit is - plus the normal stuff. Just really full of tourists - and we kind of felt bad as this is usually a gorgeous weekend and it wasn't. Then I don't want to talk about the thousands of very drunk Buffalonians that came down on party buses for the game. Yuck. We just call them speed bumps as they're weaving around the streets.

Well, got to run - ellice

And it could snow again on Thursday this week! moan. Wonder if it will be another snow day....

Hey - they're from Buffalo and really wanted a taste of spring. It won't be spring there until July.

Oh, I thought they get that they get the last week of June for spring, and then a week in July for summer.

Sadly, while they do have a really good hockey team, with a really whining, annoying coach - the fans have become horrible. It is now worse than having Philly fans in the arena. We hardened CAPS fans -when the Buffalonians are yelling insults, at least can retort "yeah, but you still live in Buffalo" .
