    In Maine, April showers bring snow plowers.

    In Arizona there is currently large snowpack in the mountains, good runoff filling the reservoirs, enormous abundance of desert flowers blooming in the lower elevations due to the unusually wet winter, and low temps. among towns range from 34 degrees in Flagstaff to 60 degrees in Laughlin. The two towns are only 180 miles apart.

    We had a good run off from our mountains also this year...there were even flood warnings.

    It's pouring now and has been all night.

    A lot of rain here too. Our snow is going. I still have a couple of feet of snow in my yard, but we're seeing some bare spaces.

    That is a good sign, @Ken Anderson ! Maybe around the time that we have tomato plants in bloom and the swimming pool set up in the back yard, you won't have to be out there wading though snow anymore. (Can you tell that I am happy not to be living where it snows ?)

    We are entering what is known as mud season right now.

    It's been in the 70s here, and it feels like 90s. We still have a lot of snow on the yard but my paths are getting wider.

    Wow but not that unusual for some places in April.

    Drat! It's snowing again. We have almost no snow left on our yard though. Just a few patches where it was the deepest, and I'm sure this snow will be gone soon after the sun comes up but still...

  12. It's been in the 60s and 70s for awhile, but is supposed to snow this weekend. Glad I didn't pack away my winter jacket like I'd planned to.

    We finally have something resembling spring here. I just hosed away the last remnant of ice from our back yard about an hour ago. We still have a small patch of ice in our front yard, I think.
