Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

What a big teddy bear of a dog, adorable, you won't ever regret it - except when trying to gain an inch of the sofa:unsure:

No Gozit, there is no point ranting, but if you are having one can I bloody well join in. :blink: It's freezing cold and wet! I have done my very best this year, not to disappear down the rabbit hole of winter misery that I have before, and my family have noticed the difference. I've been trying hard! My son said on the way to work and school this morning "Mum we need a car with a heated steering wheel", my response was "No, we need to live somewhere we don't need a heated steering wheel in April".

Now is beyond a joke! If I had Souvy's lovely pup I would kick it (or hug it)!

Its just cold here, with a lovely (not) white sky thats reminiscant of UK skies on many days, an ambience I just loathe.
I hate the Spring in NS. Not only does it have the hated grey/white skies, its also cold. Meh!

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

Look on the bright side. The snow has almost all disappeared. :thumbsup:

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

Last year was my first NS spring and I was climbing the walls for just a hint of warmth. But it is the colour that cracks me up... the sky can be white, but the landscape is grey-ish with no real sign of life unless you get up close and personal with a tree. I have noticed some small buds, but they are wisely wrapped up tight still.

I also have two family members who had their flights back to Toronto cancelled over the weekend... the rebooked flights are behind schedule now as well.

Yes parts west of us are being hammered still with ice and snow, so thankful its not us. But I still hate this time of year. I want the heat back.

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

Snowing

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

Snow and rain forecast all night. Then tomorrow I'll probably have to turn the A/C on.

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

Raining hard on the west coast.

Snow warnings have been issued for all the mountain passes.

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

So gorgeous. I want a cuddle too!!!!

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

Of course you can Millie... I'm with you, I've been good this year too. Haha love the comment on the heated steering wheel... my car happens to have one and i love it. (and yes, I may have turned it on the last time I was driving :o:eek:)

Yup, you'll never find me complaining about the heat in the summer, no matter how hot it gets

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

The next step up is a fully automatic propane powered one, I can see merit in having one of those.

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

Today's Spring Satus is that there was freezing rain and that left a bed of ice. Then there was a lot, more than a foot, of snow, I cleared the driveway with the tractor, then it snowed again so the recent freezing rain put a crust on it and now it's cold and snowing again. The plough has just been along so I'll have to clear the end of the driveway again.

An ex lives halfway up an Alp, she reports that it's 15 and sunny and she's been doing lots of work in the garden.

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

CN Tower collapses under weight of ice....something like that. I might have misheard it. :lol:

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

So you speak metric with the ex? +18 here, +22 tomorrow it says on metro.fr :thumbup:

Re: Spring...what the hell??
 

It wazzed down yesterday. That was a good thing. It got rid of the ice.

Now, of course, it is snowing again.

I told Souvette the other day I wished she was Australian. I would have followed here there instead of here. She agreed.
