I think you have us beat here in NE CO. Forecasting 6-10" of white stuff Thursday into Friday. Long range forecast is for rain through rest of April. Nice Bob! Are the flames painted?

It sucks here in Michigan as well. Ol man winter will just not let go. Snowed again today, and even tho the long range forecast was predicting weather in the mid 50's starting this weekend, now the predicted highs are down in the mid 40's with precip as well. The ol weather is sure dysfunctional, kind of makes you wonder if some of the jib jab about global warming might not be close to true.

RE: what a rotten spring here
Winter here in my part of Tn was kindof a "not so much" winter. A cold snap or two....littel freezing rain and a couple of dustings.
We went straight from that to basically green lawns, blooming flowers, budding trees....full blown spring with temps in the mid to upper 80's and nighttime lows down in the upper 50's to mid 60's.
So, like everyone else assumed, we thought it was the right time to re-do the flower beds, get the landscaping back on line for warm weather. Wife modified her flowers, added a huge assortment of multi-colored flowering plants and it loooked great.
4 days before Easter it dipped down into the upper 20's, next day it snowed. I saw temps as low as 18.3 and our daytime highs only hit mid-upper 30's. We covered our flower beds........lost all the plants except what we put in the garage..............over $200 worth of wilted, dead stuff out there right now.
Raining now......and about 65 degrees................no climate shifts though....oh no, nothing wrong with the weather.

I'm with you.
My dealer called me yesterday to let me know my FXDL will be arriving on 4/12. We've got 3 inches of snow on the ground this morning in MN and it's continuing to snow.
I put the battery in my Triumph S3 three weeks ago and have not been able to ride it yet.

Maybe if someone talked Al Gore into inventing global cooling, winters would warm up a little.
