Suns come out and we got blue skies with some slight faint cloud however it feels like -1 even though its 3 degrees.

 

[J. A.]

3° C and cloudy. At night temperatures should drop to - 2° C.

It's never too late! Thanks.

And thanks for the phoebe photo. Later yesterday afternoon, a phoebe was hawking small insects from a branch on our mulberry tree, catching each bug with the characteristic loud *SNAP* of its bill. Phoebes are ferocious little carnivores. So are hummingbirds, but they're still a few weeks away.

BTW, if you get ruby-throated hummingbirds, please send me a report of your first sighting, for my migration map: http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html

milliHelen: amount of beauty required to launch one ship.

Sunny in wine country but still cold. 0°C but very windy so it feels like -9°C. The robins are back and I can hear redwing blackbirds in the morning.

We had marshes near the small town I grew up in. I loved watching the red wings blast out of the cat-tails squawking and chattering.

I have always thought that their call sounded like "what's for tea?" But I digress, snow flurries continue. I recall snow in May but that was back in 1977, I thought we had got over that kind of weather due to "warming" but, no.....Britain is having the coldest spring in 100 years. Perhaps Mr Gore can enlighten us.... 8)

Low 40s, rain and about 500 feet up white is sprouting out of the mountainside

It seems Germany too, or at least some of its inhabitants, are really feeling the cold. An extract from this morning's paper, the Adelaide "Advertiser":
"Berlin: An entire troupe of performing fleas has fallen victim to the freezing temperatures currently gripping Germany.
Flea circus director Robert Birk says he was shocked to find all of his 300 fleas dead inside their transport box last week.
The circus scrambled to find a new batch so it could fulfil its engagements at an open-air fair in the western town of Mechernich-Kommern"

Just think of the problems. Need to find the right dog. Then there's the training.....

12F snow...

 

[J. A.]

Temperature didn't drop below zero. At the moment, there's 1,5° C. It's cloudy, wind about 15 km/h.

In the afternoon, rain/snow is predicted, it will be stormy (again).

Edit, 9:20 AM: snow started falling. Earlier than I feared.

Oh, and talking about my home town Adelaide, here's a screen shot from that same paper.



I almost feel guilty

-7°C, with a wind chill of -15°C. We're paying for the good weather over the last few days.

What about the lakes and puddles you posted earlier. Did they get a chance to become smaller, or even vanish? What was left will be frozen now, I think.

Some of them drained away, the rest are now solid.
