Looking for 8-12" in D.C. Monday nite.
They say the cherry blossoms will peak April 7.
We'll see about Mr. Spring. Or maybe not.

Still having some snow in my yard makes it hard for me to feel sorry for you.

Had the Pollen thing a month ago. Suffered through 84 degree weather today with blue skies and a 15 mile per hour eastsoutheast ocean breeze. Drove the '76 to lunch at the Old Key Lime House along the Intracoastal Waterway with the T-tops in then removed them and drove topless on the ride home. I'd say I feel guilty but I put up with snowbirds so we're just reaping our rewards. Gotta love spring

Yep, looking to have some more white pollen tomorrow and another 3 days of cold. I could go out and pee on it to make it look like yellow pollen.

I talked to someone in Viera (which isn't all that far from Orlando) around 1:00 today and she was out walking at the time so I think you're just making that up.
