Around here they're predicting 2 separate snowstorms this week.

Did winter ever leave? As Yogi Berra once opined: It ain't over 'til it's over.

Low of [minus 6] here this morning, will be about the same tomorrow. Glad the propane truck showed up today, but not happy about the price ($4.18 a gallon!). Hope the storm Wensday doesn't go too far out to sea, we could use another foot here :)

I was reading some Trail jounals last night. Looks like it's been the usual cold and wet March weather in GA/NC after all. Some one said they were hiker #441 to sign in recently. Wonder how many of those have gone home already?

Amen! The grand babies may still be in school on July 4.
We were in Boone last year the first week of June. Fleece and Gore-Tex wet, drizzly weather the whole week. My daughter said that it stayed like that through July 4th.
A bad day in the mountains beats every day at work.

Welp, this storm is worse than predicted. It is snowing like CRAZY in Roanoke VA. We have over an inch on the ground- still snowing.

Alright PF, put a sock in it! ;) :D

It's supposed to turn to rain later this afternoon.
C'mon RAIN!

Any hikers out there that need assistance? Let the trail community know. High winds may be coming after this snow storm is over.
Stay safe everyone!

Looks like the storm will pass out to sea and miss us up here. All we get is the cold temps. -5 again this morning.

Slo-go'en, I feel your pain, even at low temps in the teens. We are to be spared the brunt of the snow, too, if forecasts can be believed.

Rain after the cold & snow & wind might be worse. Stay dry, warm & safe everyone who is lucky enough to be outdoors instead of stuck in an office.
Have fun!

Well, I want it to change to rain in the Roanoke Valley but in the mountains, I believe, it might keep snowing. :p

The high winds & cold is what I'm worried about for the hikers out there. I'm going after 2 hikers this evening. They are wanting outta the woods later on today... don't blame them. It must be so beautiful out there right now tho. No leaves on trees to mess with the views. So jealous! Day 5 into Spring! :D

Oh boy! :o
When I was growing up in NH, I thought Boston was like the South... LOL! It was always warmer down there than in NH. Less snow too! :p

Well, VA tries not to be too cruel in the Spring. No joke- sun is out, storm is over, snow is already melting. Gotta love it. So far no wind for us!

They freaked out & dismissed school early,right when the sun was coming out! Woo Hoo!! :D
