Geeze What happened to spring?

What happened to spring? Last year it was in the 80s here in east central Illinois. Last night we got 10 inches of snow! Just put the suburban outside and brought the 67 GMC home from winter storage three days ago.

Well I guess you people are in the same boat as we are here in Mass. We are dodging a bullet tonight and tomorrow and have had over 100 inches of the white stuff so far this year and still have around 1 to 3 feet on the ground right now...summer is coming

Yeah we are tired of it too!! The 10 to 17 inches in this area of Illinois set a new single day record for snowfall in march. Last year it was in the 80s here!!

Re: Geeze What happened to spring?

Usually we have about 8 really nice weeks in the Spring. The last 2 of March, all of April and the 1st 2 of May. Some years pretty much all of May. But by the time June hits it turn hot and muggy. That's the worst!
