How cold is at your house now?

Sheep die easilly....They need copper...Take one farmer...4 helpers..100 Sheep times 7 over week. in half dozen fields and pens...Toyotas, tractors..snow....One dog set of needles..Shout and herd sheep....rattle gates...rattle feed bags...grab sheep...push, shove, pull...wrestle to floor as necessary....inject....cut feet if necessary...not for the stomach week folk....Pat on head...me not sheep....Smell like yuck...Marvel at wellington boots change of colour....And generally look round snow filled hills and fields while normal folk sitting round fires...And breathe in air...and thank nature that she exists and I dont have to work in stupid office anymore or jump on trains or motorways...Sheep are bigger than what ;you think too...Try standing next to one..

 

well here in sunny torquay (yeah right ) on the south west coast we've got a tropical 9 degrees c today, if it were'nt for the p*ssing down rain i would be tempted to venture out

 

about 2 degrees and snow finally melting. Icing in the morning though (the dangerous invisible type)

 

It's a real nice 60F right now. I'm going out and spend some time in the great outdoors, do the daily walk (not when it's blistering cold), and then do a little yard work. Then I might sit in the swing on the patio and read the paper since it is supposed to rain this afternoon a bit.

Urqh, that sheep business sounds a bit....coarse! I'll stick to growing peppers.

 

At about 7:30 PM this evening, it was 66 "F". Today was a wat day with periods of blowing rain. Tomorow is supposed to get evenn wetter.

 

At 1630, it was 74F, light breeze, low to no noticable humidity. Nice

 

Spring time , finally! Flea markets popping up everywhere, lots of relics to pick up!

 

Haha, so i'm not the only who is happy for the returns of flea markets eh Skip?(Well, the flea markets in this country are mostly right before/after the summer vacation, but it is still good to get rid of all the snow).

 

It said it on my calendar....

Hey Skipper and collectorww2, what are flea markets like over there?

 

I guess you really don't want to hear that it was in the upper 70's / 20's today and nice and sunny...... I was cleaning the pool and worked on my truck some......

 

Well, at first when they open the gates it doesn't really look like a flea market, it looks more like a marathon, everybody running to get the best stuff first.

 

I guess I'm with Terry Gardner, nobody wants to hear it was in the upper 60s in Montana, sunny, no wind, and kids playing touch football in the open areas. I washed the cab of my S-10 and will start on the box tomorrow.

Got to clean out the crud in the back before I get too carried away!

 

Another great day today, but it only got up to 72F though. The cypress trees are greening up pretty good now, and the oaks are budding out too. I cut the grass last week, and got a chance to smoke a few cigars while doing it. Sat in the swing and sipped a few cool ones without worrying about the mosquitoes dragging me off. That was nice. Ahhhhhh, springtime down South is nice....

 

A-58, here in Montana even though tomorrow is the "semi-official" first day of spring we don't figure we are out of the "snow" possibles until June. Some of the worst snow cloggers have happened on Easter Sunday for some reason, just to mess up the kid's outdoor egg hunt I suspect.

We had 6" of snow one June 18th on the "flats" (not just the mountains), but it only lasted about two days. By that I mean that on the second day it was all gone.

 

it's been in the high 70's low 80's all week in Northern California (Chico-Redding) lovin' every minute of it!!!

 

Yes, I remember that type of spring weather. I spent two years in Alaska in the Army, and it was just like you described. The summers there were almost like the winters back home.
