I wish I had another week of cold weather, everything is too sloppy now to do much of anything, no real freezing temps in the forecast so looks like wait till it dries out instead.

Got some snow coming this weekend, will have to get back to the woods next week. Temps in the low 30s all week.

Sorry guys don't ride bikes, but I was on my sled today for a couple hours, got 102 mph out of the old girl.

Here is southern Minnesota, we were blessed received 12" of snow on March 22nd, a Sunday evening.

I had the wonderful opportunity to snow blow my drive way cause the plow, but a nice 2' bank at the end of it.  No busting thru that with the wifes car  ;)

Hate spring snowfalls they are like a kick in the face!

I agree about the kick in the face! Was starting to melt some here, then it got cold and dumped 3 inches or so of snow Wednesday, flurries yesterday and its going to be -5 tonight with strong winds. Looks like it gets above freezing next week, but its been nice getting some wood cut before the slop. Was cool watching the first boat go through the Soo locks after they busted the 3 feet of ice this week.
