.TODAY...PARTLY CLOUDY IN THE MORNING THEN BECOMING MOSTLY SUNNY. HIGHS 81 TO 86. SOUTHEAST WIND 5 TO 10 MPH BECOMING WEST 5 TO
15 MPH IN THE AFTERNOON.

Went hiking at Organ Pipe National Monument on Saturday. The spring wildflowers were peaking. The cactus flowers have another month to go so we'll probably go back for that.

Eh March is one of the snowiest months in this part of the country.

Can you please cite references for this? January has the most snow fall in North America as far as I can tell and it looks like February for the UK. I would imagine anything below the equator wouldn't be anywhere close to March either.

I'll have to find stats, but I know March was snowiest for the Denver metro area in Colorado. At least that's what they always reported on the news. Out in Indiana though it seems to be January.

Pet peeve: People posting about the weather where they live without giving any indication of where they actually live. Pointless.

Yeah, end of March and it will be 16F tonight. We had six inches of snow late last week. Winter is definitely hanging on for dear life. Should be near 60F by the end of the week though, and enough snow has melted that we're starting to see some grass. Spring is coming.

We had our blizzard Friday. Just as a giant "FUCK YOU" from winter it came the day after the last of the snow in my yard had melted. Now it's a balmy 25*F when normal highs for this time of year are supposed to be around 50*.

I had to shovel snow on the first day of Spring, good times. Plus, it was 24 degrees this morning.

I just put insurance back on my summer car and now it is supposed to snow tonight. Sigh.

It won't last long but still it is annoying.
