^ Was above zero here yesterday, around zero this morning, now the wind is up, its snowing, and the temp is dropping fast.  Wonderful winter.
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Yeah, -33 a few days ago to +1. Supposed to drop to -16 overnight I think.

Pretty random stuff.

The freeze/thaw cycle here this winter has made a mess of the roads.  We're seeing spring like heaves and potholes already and still have a couple of months to go before it gets really bad.  Glad I went down to 17" wheels for the winters.  :P

I've got crokuses starting to come up here in Dartmouth. No snow on the ground. It has been a weird winter for sure. Nova scotia seems to be always  below the polar vortex.

Yeah, roads are brutal with all of the thawing/freezing.  I know two close friends that have been stranded on the harbour bridge due to blown tires and bent rims.  Apparently there have been many others.  I'd be p!ssed.

30mm-40mm of rain and warm weather for the next two days.  And a two week forecast that has more in common with later March than mid-February.  Good-bye winter. 

Also, The Weather Network ^^^totally called it.

It sure is looking that way.   We will need a big dump in March to get us skiing into April. Shame too because the hills had just started to recover from the last beating they took.

Either way, I am starting to pay more attention to my golf clubs.

2nd day of falling snow - not cool.  :'(
Solstice is going to worn out by tomorrow night!

Damn straight, and I have an appointment Tuesday to have the photographed for an open house next weekend.  So not ready!
It stops snowing now that you have the house all ready. How did the open house go last weekend?

Morning temps in the 30s; even that's a little too cold for short pants.

Little slow, only 7 couples.  I suspect part of the problem was the sign was put up Thursday.  It was on Comfree for Friday.  But Realtor.ca can take up to 3 business days to show up.  So it showed up on Wednesday Feb 21.  Going to have another open house this Sunday. 

Some that came through, thought the house showed well, was priced decently.

Another cold wave about to hit western Europe.

At least it's sunny and bright- rarity for Germany.

Damn... supposed to be sunny & 10 degrees on Tuesday.
Might just be a "sick day"  & pull the wrap off the MX-5 to make me feel better.     :drive:
