The daffodils are about 2-3 inches tall. Lawns are greening. The robins are back in force and folks are spring-cleaning their yards...and we're under Winter Storm Warning until tomorrow afternoon as the storm that buried folks out west heads in our direction.
Snowfall rates are expected to hit up to 2-3 inches an hour. No idea what those of us who are closer to the lake could end up with--there's a lakeshore flood advisory because of the winds that will honk down the length of the lake, but whether they will serve to push the snows back?
It's sunny now. Mid 30s. One good thing about the storm holding off is that I will be able to get King to and from the vet in the dry. After I get him home, I will get the grocery shopping done. Probably fill up Kuro. Then I'll hunker down for the duration.
The ground was just starting to dry out. Now it will be a mess of mud and slush again. Guess I will dig the snow shovels out of the garage.

Date: 2009-03-28 08:38 pm (UTC)I'm just sick of it. But then I recall how many times I warned Dad to not shut off the old furnace until after Memorial Day. And he would always shut it off after the first warm snap in May, and invariably nighttime temps would fall to the 40s the following week.
Spring in Illinois.
