Shrug Say it isn't so....

After work yesterday, I DROVE home in wind with 80mph gusts. Wind blowing pieces of 2x4 into your front end. Wind seeding back yards with tumbleweeds the size of Newfoundlands. Wind screaming nasty messages into frame construction.

This morning...snow flurries, Nevada April Showers...from 82 degrees to 29. What the hell are we doing here???

Thanks Dee, I am sure it won't hang around, nevertheless, I have the next few days off and was planning on heading to Yerington to help my dad for a day or two, then south to DV and across to CA and up the coastline toward Oregon then home.

How does it look over on the coast?? Give me Tyler's flowers!!! Hell, i'll even take the bugs!!

Re: Say it isn't so....

I feel for you. I hope the weather Gods smile down upon us this weekend because a few of us spoiled sun baked Californians are heading your way while the locals up there head out.

On the upside, down here in SoCal we've just dropped from record highs this past weekend, down into the low 60's today. Good time to hit DV and Joshua Tree.

Don't feel as though you're the only one being beat up by this early spring weather..,.we've got a forecast today of TRW/hail in Western Orygun, with snow possible down to 500 feet and a foot or more in the passes.

Another big glob of cold air is on the way for us here, and it'll be in your neighborhood a day or so after we see it.

....And it was 80 degrees here on Sunday.
