Location: Brighton CO. | After last weeks cold it's going to be 60 the next couple of days, it's foggy wore (sp?) frost over everything this morning. I was at Cabela's yesterday and went by the ice fishing section and my thought was did they sale anything this year. (no fishable ice in the front range this year) If you go up in the high country and you're good. |

Location: E. Tenn | Here in the eastern end of TN, we missed out on the ice storm that made a mess of most of the Mid South the weekend before last, but it was cold. Woke up to -7F this morning, after 8" of the white stuff this past weekend. Fortunately it's going to start warming up over the next few days. |

Location: Brighton CO. | In the front range of Colorado this year we broke a record for most 60 degree days in a meteorlogical winter (Dec-Feb.) with 35 days over 60. (12 is average). Up to a week or two ago the snow pack was the lowest on record we had a 3 percent raise to get us out of that. We have red flag warning on the plains including Denver and a blizzard in the high country. The good news March and April are big snow months in this part of the country and can save the day. A lot of the mountain lake resorts are worried that the maria's will be high and dry this summer. |

Location: SW Ohio | Warmer here, too, but lakes are still iced up as of Monday. Got some warm rain coming in today that should help thaw them out. But, we go back into the 20's for a couple of days over the weekend. Shouldn't cause any more ice, though. |

Location: SW Ohio | Weather here is warmer but our local lake is now 14’ above winter pool due to all the rain we’ve had. All the ramps are unusable and the docks are 40+ yards out in open water. Debris is covering them anyway.
We have a winter mix coming Sunday night/Monday but nothing like y’all are going to get hit with. Have fun with 24” of snow. We don’t need it here.

| We don't need it either, but I guess we're going to get it. March is a stupid month. Wants to be all the seasons. In a matter of a few days, we'll have had warm, sunny, cold, rainy, windy, snowy, below zero, and back to warmer and sunny. |

| If the local tv station is to be believed, Rhinelander could see the second most two day snow total in history, with snow starting just after midnight Sunday morning and ending sometime Monday afternoon. Plus 20 to 30 MPH winds. Haven't seen anything like that since I lived in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Old timers in the U.P. said winter can't end without a St. Patrick's day storm. |

Location: Brighton CO. | Here in the front range of Colorado March is our snowiest month, yesterday was 75 degrees and it snowed a inch over night but didn't stick on the roads. Today 32 degrees and very windy. We also seam to get big snow storms 16-19 of March St. Patrick's Day. The first year we lived here we went out for Mexican food one night and it was starting to snow so we bundled up and hook the 4X4 to dinner. The night keep flickering in the restaurant and my dad looked out the window and it was dumping hard so we ate up quick and headed for home. We lived in the foothills at the time and they had the Interstate closed, so we sat on the frontage road and it was closed too. We were only 2 miles form our housing development and another 4 miles back in from there. So my dad was me cheek with the cop blacking the road when we can get thru. (he would not let us thru.) My dad was frustrated as the snow just kept getting deeper. So I told my dad "you go talk to the cop he'll listen to you because you're old! (he was 5 1 /2 years younger then what am now. We drove the two miles no problem got into our private neighborhood (own Fire Dept. snow plows, and security) the roads had been cleared and snow plows were just looking for something to plow. We have had many big storms at this time of year. The biggest I had 40 inches of snow at my house in South East part of town and my parents were out of town and they had over six feet of snow my nephew had to sleep at work. for a couple day's Then he could get part way into the neighborhood and then he borrowed snowshoes to get into the house get some more clothes and stay at my house in town. 0other parts of the foothills had close to nine feet. This year it will be 70's on St. Pat's day then a couple of days of 84. We have had little snow and cold it's going to be a long hot summer. |
