Lots Of Snow Still On The Ground BUT Spring Time Has Arrived

I can't remember the last time or any time in the past 10 years that we had Spring Time arrive and there was still lots of Snow on the ground... If any of you remember please share that time and year with me!!! And it look like the snow may still be coming to certain areas and States in the US???

 

Many of us here on Strokenet can't get outside in our conditions when the ground is covered with snow... Then to tune in to the Golf channels to watch golf and you see the snow on the ground lets you know the tournament officials didn't know the snow would still be on the ground... In fact here in central Texas we haven't seen the sun shinning very much so far these first few days of Spring either... Of course we hope to see the sun out real soon then we can get outside and really enjoy the outdoors...

 

There hasn't been much rain here in our town and all the water ways, lakes, rivers and streams are very low... I saw a couple of boat operators putting gas in their boats yesterday at Walmart gas pumps and they told me the water was just to low in many of their favorite fishing spots to take a chance on running into tree stumps and ruining their motors or the boat... I remembered those days in Georgia trying to fish in unknown areas and tear your boat up or ruin the motor running into things you didn't see until it was too late... In some areas like that you can opt to use your trolling motor to move your boat about...

 

I hope all of you that want to get outside can enjoy this weather now just take it easy and be extra careful because it feels so good to be outdoors!!!!

 

One of the local colleges had a Fun Run and Bicycle ride event for the handicapped persons that was able to run or ride about two miles then visit the concession stand set up at the finish line to raise funds for the handicap people to purchase things they needed like braces, knee pads, shoes, shorts and gloves for riding or use at home working in their gardens... I was there but not in the run, just looking, then the rain came and I got back in my car to stay dry... I would have loved to use my scooter but it was powered by a battery and that wasn't allowed...

 

I got to find me something to do outdoors where I can take the little dog on her leash with me to give her some time outside for a change... I used to take her with me to the school to pick up my grand daughter but this school now don't allow animals on the grounds even in the cars... I think a young kid went up to a car to pet a dog and was bitten... You know how some kids are when they think no one is looking...

 

It only takes one incident to stop things from being allowed!!! So hopefully I can get out more since the weather has changed for the better and it's much warmer too... Get outside if you can enjoy the Spring and the Sun!!!!

Don't feel back about Spring behaving so badly Fred.  I was born in England and on 4th June the year I was five, four days into summer supposedly there was sleet.  We were supposed to go on a picnic as the weather should have been fine and warm.  We are all victims of the wiles of the weather.  So cheer up, a day or two could make all the difference.

Hi Fred, here in Florida, the first day of Spring was 89!.  We now having   rain.  I go walking, but Monday it rain all day.

 

Like Sue said,  weather can let you down.  I was born in England and every year in July dad would take us and family  friends  to the "sea side"  this was our  summer hoilday treat.  Now English beaches were very rockly, the sea was rough and grey.Just like the

weather.Most of them had fun fairs with great rides, and as Kids you did not care that  it was raining. We only went for One day, and poor dad did all the driving, plus the car was fill but we never complained!  No one could tell us that we were not rich!  I loved those  days.
