Yeah its about over. -5°F here tonight, but we're easily looking at 40s next week and even some 50s. I like winter, but if it's not going to stay strong and consistent, I'm ready for spring!

Same here. I'm ready for spring so I can get back to work. Show me the money! Haha

I appreciate you letting me put pics. of Capo on here! I took some awesome ones today in the Snow at the Dog Park!! I would like to share them w/ all of you! Capo truly is a verrrry handsome guy!

The close up[side profile] and the one where he is looking through the fence are both taken as he concentrates on several deer running across the road and into an adjacent field!

Give Capo a couple of love taps for me.

Indeed, very pretty dog. :) We always had labs - they're intense too, but mostly about food and tennis balls. Lol.

A coworker of mine had adopted a 6 month old lab with huge paws, big as a tiger's paws. 6 months later, he had to give him away because the furniture was turning to tinder wood. As a child, I was raised with an Old English Sheppard. Excellent loving dogs, but impossible to keep in place the second you get outside. For the last couple of weeks, I see this woman on the sidewalk walking her ~6 month Old English Sheppard who's turning his head left and right continuously, looking for something to run at. Boy is she in for a big surprise when that dog gains one little bit of confidence! Can't wait to see her trying to keep a 70 horsepower sheep down to the ground, mwahahahaha! At least Capo is lucky enough to have open fields.

Temperature has been hitting above freezing the last couple of days here, but the arctic cold winds make it feel like it's still under 16. 5 minutes out and my cheeks and ears sting like I've had scolding hot water poured on my head :/
 
I REALLY CAN'T TAKE THIS BS ANYMORE!

IT'S SNOWING AGAIN!!!!!!! almost mid-April and we have had one weekend, yes, ONE weekend that was noticeably over freezing point. We have had an average of 2-3 degrees over freezing for over a month and now it's snowing for the second time this week. F#############%^!!!!!
 
It's currently 77* (25*C) here in Phoenix...:nana: Just be consoled by the fact that three months from now it'll be 116* (46*C) here. :rolleyes::sigh:

I just need an actual noticeable change and a serious sign that there WILL be a summer this year. I have completely abandoned camping and hiking plans for 2 years in a row now because the weather was rain and more rain the entire last 2 summers. To explain shortly: my vacations are normally 5 X 4000+ footers in 7 days on my own (my friends were too lazy and were left behind). I hate spending afternoons and evenings under a tarp!

A good soaker trip can be fun on occasion, just sitting around lazy. But definitely not all the time. We're definitely locked into spring now. Looking forward to a couple trips before it gets nasty and buggy. The only place you'll find me between mid-May and late-September is in a lake. I'm a mosquito magnet!

I'm the same. Hopefully I can get 2-3 camping trips in before it gets so humid. Right now I'm kind of glad that it isn't freezing all the time here, but I'm not looking forward to all the mosquito attacks either haha.
 
I'm on Maui for a few weeks and it's 63 degrees at 6:30 AM at about 3100 feet elevation.

This winter was so cold non-stop for so long that, provided we don't get another wet summer, we should have a break on mosquitoes over here.
 
Radical temperature change here: low 70's yesterday and today (Sunday and Moday to be precise.) :)
 
Talked to my mom the other day. She said that in northern Sweden, the temp was -50 F

THAT is cold! :)
 
I don't mind when its cold, but temperature swings really bother me. Like when you leave for work in the morning and its 28°F, but by 4pm its 68°F, then freezing again by morning. If its going to snow, I prefer it to stick around a few weeks or a month or two rather than 3 days later be completely gone, then two weeks later another snow storm... and again completely melted in a few days. This is a recent climate change characteristic. As a child in the 70s, Winter was Winter by the end of October, usually a first snow before Thanksgiving, white all December through the end of February. Now, Winter really only begins in January. I guess things really won't get bad until we finally break the Gulf Stream with Global Warming.
 
I'm with ya. I like the cold and I love the snow and I wish it stayed. Down here in NC if we're lucky to get snow, it's usually gone in a day or two. I miss the north and yep, we screwed the pooch on the climate :(
 
you guys don't know what cold is! It's 45 here in Orange County California!!!!!!
