Woke up to snow but it warmed up to low 50s and sunshine today so it's melted in all but a few spots here and there.

Went to a town about an hour away and bought me a boat today. Took some friends who have more experience and made sure it was good and it appears to be good to go. Too cold to put in the water to check that but from the way it looks underneath I don't think we have anything to worry about. So should be a busy summer between fishing and gardening.

After being so warm Friday we only got up to 50 today. Had a few showers come through.

Thanks for the update on your mother. I still have some of your parent's irises in my gardens.

That's great to hear Tom. Most of my irises are my parent's. There are a few I don't have.
Today the high is 38. The rest of the week is 60s to 40s. Quite the roller-coaster.

Stay safe, Jim! Happy to say that we have nothing worse predicted than a few more inches of snow. Our power has flickered a few times tonight, though - hopefully it won't turn into an actual outage

High winds all night, some rain, but not the snow that was predicted for last night. Current temp is 32.

Didn't get much out of this last system and that was totally fine by me. Clear roads so no worries. Wind has died down for today but is supposed to pick up again.
