First day of Spring...ya right!

DaGonz · 03-20-02, 05:25

Today is March 20th. The calendar says it's my Mom's birthday (Happy Birthday Mom! Don't worry, I won't tell the autopians your age!

) and the first day of spring....

I just came in from shoveling 3 to 4 inches of "spring" off of my driveway. It's a heavy wet snow that makes using my snowthrower an exercise in futility..the chute keeps clogging up!

The weather has been lousy...just enough wet snow the other day to have the sanders out, then rain, a few hours of sun, back to rain, now snow

My vehicles are dirty, I'm bummed out...and I needed my fellow clean car fanatics to talk to!

Dont feel bad..rained here all day (cold, damp, and wet)...

Tomorrow its supposed to be sunny and 60 and Friday a high of 30...

Trust me I feel your pain...

Same here. I'll get a better pic tomorrow. I have a new PC, Pinnacle PCL coming and 3 yosteve towels rev'ed up and ready to go. My wife is about to kill me!

I feel your pain too. Someone apparently didn't tell southeast Michigan that it's almost April, because it's been in the 30s around here. Did you see DavidB's post called "Spring has Sprung" in the Driving section? Those pics were taken this past weekend. That is why I'll never live anywhere else other than Southern California ever again!

peace

Same here we spent last weekend on our dirtbikes and today on snowmobiles. We already have 6+in of snow and it's still snowing hard. It's sad that we got out biggest snowstorm this year on the first day of spring.

Yup. Same here on the West Coast. In Canuckland, it's -2 centigrade, and freezing rain and snow. It's an ice rink out there.

Came home and had to wash the salt off the car, which then turned into a full wash. Neighbours were looking at me like I was an alien!

Last year, at this time, we were already in shorts outside.

and I thought we had a lot of Pollen!

Yeah, pollen season is starting. The yellow-green stuff coats everything. I'm always glad when it rains like it did today; all the crud gets washed away. This will go on for most of March and prolly into April. My Cali car duster really gets a workout this time of year. Car dusters and QD are my best friends.

Ugh...Salt...
