Got up this morning and noticed the light comming in the windows was brighter than normal. Should have known. Ami

I hear you Ami. Minneapolis is forecast for 12-16" of snow today. We had a big warm up for about a week and we were thinking the worst might be over. It is still February, I guess.

Same here in Wisconsin.

We are under a "winter storm watch" from 6 AM this morning til 6 PM Monday evening.

But as usual the weather forecasters are "off". It was supposed to be UGLY by 6 AM already. Shoot there isn't even a full overcast yet.

We are supposed to have temps right near 32 all day. It's 31 right now. So the forecast is for snow changing to freezing rain, to rain back to snow and blowing snow.

Right now after the warm spell we had last week, I can see mostly brown grass, other than the plowed snow piles. I was expecting a vision like those pics Ami posted.

As others have said - it IS really pretty. I understand your frustration tho'. One winter while we were stationed at Sembach, the high for the month of February was 19 F....

May I ask which part you're in?

Ami I have about 4.5 acres of land I will sell you in Wimberley Texas for about $40,000 you wont have to worry about that darn snow all of the time.

Well it finally started snowing here around 10 AM. Only 4 hours later than forecast.

It seems to be a heavy wet stuff as the temp is 33. It is snowing fairly heavily for now. But looking at radar, we could be in some rain and or freezing rain shortly.

I'm glad I don't have to go out for anything today. The roads are going to be a mess with this changeable stuff.

This weather looks like it's supposed to hit a large area from the Dakotas all the way to the east coast.

So take care everyone. Good day to look at seed catalogs again.

BSue54, I live about 30 minutes drive from Sembach. In fact I drive by there every Thursday going to Donnersberg.

Worth, If I win the lottery I'll take you up on your offer.

When my DH was stationed at Sembach, we first lived in Neuhemsbach (I was very directionally challenged over there so can't tell you which way it wasfrom the base) and the village limit sign was fastened to the corner of the house we lived in. Later we lived in Mehlingen, and I worked for Zurich Insurance in Sembach, taking care of GIs' car insurance needs. My office was in the downstairs of a building that had been the Sembach village Polizei station before they switched to regional policiing. It is a lovely part of the country, and you would feel very much at home around Wimberly TX... I love the Texas Hill Country but my allergies to Mountain Cedar made me reconsider my location when my DH and I got married again, and he lived over here. Here we just get moderate levels of the cedar pollen when there's a stong wind from the wrong direction.

Current temp here is 78F, roughly 75 miles as the crow flies from the coast/bay, and we just got through moving the deck/platform that used to live under the trees, with a BBQ grill on it, over the end of the former garden, to give my SWC's (to be) a home up away from the ants. Now to move cinderblocks to contain the garden soil where the in-the-ground stuff is going to reside. Nope, I ain't gonna get anything planted today LOL
