Sunday

Jamie Bush, blog-reading in Port St. Lucie, Florida, sent this great photo of a
Brown Pelican that seems to be saying,

"Did you remember.....?"


*************



At 6:52 a.m. it's 18 degrees, snowing and blowing and still dark out!


Yesterday it POURED!

But (from the O-D) "Thousands of rain-soaked Runners and Walkers helped raise a record amount of money Saturday at America's greatest Heart Run and Walk."
(I hope that some blog-readers will send photos of their teams!)

********************
Mark Masca has given me permission to publish the address to his new blog, but he did add a small cautionary note, saying that he tended to be "a bit colorful" and didn't want to offend anyone! (Advice taken and appreciated! Thanks, Ryno!)

Bucky Harris, who's in the cold Northwest, wrote: "Thank you for the beautiful pictures of spring flowers and the arboretum. I can feel the warmth of the spring sun when I look at them. Much needed after it hit minus 17 yesterday morning and it's snowing again today with a whopping high expected today of 10F. Will winter ever end?"

Lyn Rhein, in Stuttgart, Arkansas, wrote: "
Thought you might like to see some of our snow pictures. We had about 6-8 inches yesterday--our first big snowfall in several years. We had some last Tuesday--enough to cover the ground, but it was gone by evening. This started about noon yesterday and it snowed heavy most of the afternoon and into the night. Today, the sun is out bright, it is in the mid 40's and a lot of it is melting. It was really pretty while it lasted. But our poor flowers and trees that were starting to bud out!"

From WKTV: "...... toward Sunday morning, we'll focus on Lake Ontario, which could become a major player in the weather through midday. The potential exists for heavy lake snow squalls, which could dump very heavy snow in a short time. The location and amounts of these squalls remains up in the air, as conditions may not come to fruition. A couple of issues that may hinder lake effect include wind shear and the strong March sun angle. All in all, it will be windy and cold Saturday night and Sunday, with lows in the single digits and teens and highs in the mid 20s. Strong wind gusts of 25-35 mph will cause blowing and drifting snow as well."

Have a Good Day!
