Yo-yo weather

We had a snow storm yesterday. The one we weren’t supposed to get. It snowed all day long. Pretty big fluffy flakes. The accumulation didn’t amount to that much, maybe 4 inches. It was heavy wet snow and all the trees were coated. It was pretty. Then the snow turned to drizzle in the early evening and everything turned to slush. Then the temps dropped and everything froze solid. Par for the course.

This morning the temps rose into the mid 40s. And all of yesterday’s snow and ice melted. At the moment, you’d never know that it snowed all day yesterday. The roads are clear and dry and my deck floor boards are clear and dry, too. At least they are where I shoveled a path previously. The rest of the deck is still piled high with snow.

Tonight the temps drop again. Tomorrow they drop some more and tomorrow night we’ll be back in the single digits for a brief period. But back up into the mid 40s by Saturday.

Which all goes to show that spring is trying. It’s currently losing the battle, but still valiantly trying. While spring and winter duke it out over the next few weeks, our temps will resemble a yo-yo. It’s not the most pleasant part of the year. It’s hard to acclimate when the temps jump around like that. One day is sweatshirt and vest weather and the next is long underwear and down coat weather. I just wish spring would make a break for it and arrive already. Yes, it’s too early, but I don’t care.
