April 11, 2019 morning forecast
I thought that I would share screenshots of this morning and tomorrow morning’s weather forecasts, it ain’t pretty. In fact, it is absolutely rotten considering it is Spring and yet Ole Man Winter just won’t let go.
Daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and wildflowers have already begun to bloom. Plum, pear, apricot and cherry trees are flowering. Birds are mating, some are already incubating eggs and some of those eggs may have already hatched. The birds, wildlife and even the plants know spring has sprung, everything except Ole Man Winter knows it has.
Okay, so isn’t going to be as bad here in Utah as it is for our neighbor to the east, poor Colorado will get this much worse than we are. They are going to get slammed.
But this is like having a fish in the fridge that stinks because it is long past it’s prime. Will this winter ever give up and go on it’s merry way?
Yes, we need the moisture but c’mon already!

Photos like this one are probably about the only images I will be able to get the next few days. Gray. Snow. Gray. Dark. Gray. Dreary. Gray.
Two days ago I had to turn on the AC in my Jeep while driving home from Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge because I was that warm.
I kind of hate to be rude but Ole Man Winter, just go away. Enough already. You’ve over stayed.

Just happy to have another fantastic powder day up in the mountains! Summer can wait as it’s hell, ha ha.
I feel much the same about the sweaty season (aka summer). Fortunately she seems to have finally left the building.
I hope Spring slams the door on winter for you soon.
Your are having the same weather we are having in Southern Ontario. Sunday it was 72. This morning it’s 34, feeling like 25. I saw snow flakes coming home from my bird outing. Except for a Great Egret, I was otherwise blanked. They are all hunkering down. The ice boom at Lake Erie has been taken out and the upper Niagara River is full of miniscule icebergs.
