busycoupe Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 It is in the mid fifties in central Massachusetts today. Before lunch I opened the garage doors, checked the oil and tire pressure on the coupe; then woke it up from it’s 3 month hibernation and took a short ride. It felt great! It is the first time I have had the he coupe on the road since Nov. 26. Normally I would not take it out until the end of March, but the weather was too tempting. .. Come on spring! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted February 28, 2018 Report Share Posted February 28, 2018 if everything in full bloom and AC automatically coming on in the house and turning it on while driving the car......then we been in spring for a bit now...albeit the last two days it has cooled a tad. Dogwood is right now starting to flower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosco Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) We just had a couple of nice days here in Ontario, Canada. It was tempting to take the Plymouth out for a quick spin, but I resisted. Just as well because apparently we're about to get some rain and 30 cm. of snow tonight. Guess I'll have to wait til the end of March or beginning of April as usual. (Heavy sigh!). Edited March 2, 2018 by Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busycoupe Posted March 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I started this topic last Wednesday when it was warm and sunny .. today we have this! According to the forecast another foot-plus is on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 After 40 years of California political snow jobs, I rather miss the real stuff. Pic is of flowers blooming in our back yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmersparts Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Got over 8 more inches of the white crap... Very tired of it... Pflaming send some warm weather my way please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 my Bradford pears in the front yard were in full bloom, we got a bit of wind and rain...now my front yard looks like I have a dusting of snow that won't just melt away. Running the mower with the mulching blades did a bit of good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 We've got a hint of spring up here, too. After 18" of snow yesterday (same nor'easter busycoupe referenced Wednesday - "Quinn", I'm mildly surprised there were no mighty Quinn the Eskimo analogies flying about) it's breaking 40 today, with more snow tonight into the weekend. Typical March in northern Maine, the crocus and daffodils aren't even brave enough to start venturing out yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 our daffodils have long bloomed, not even a trace of their blossoms to tell the tale. Dogwood is now in full bloom...time to go fishing if you are the sportsman's type....after seasonal blooming last year I dug two bushel baskets of daffodil bulbs from the yard and donated them to friends and family and the local school ag program for fund raising...am sure there are still a peck or so in the barn yet. These were the double blossom variety. I am more of an iris fan and am sure there are at least over 200 in bloom at this minute..;. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackTheFinger Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Daffodils are blooming but it's not really spring here until at least 3 idiots stop and try to buy some of my junk... Either that or I see a shirtless redneck driving a pickup drinking a beer... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonejacklarry Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have yet to see a tank top on a female this year. I think that is a better indicator of spring than robins coming around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 and what is it if ROBIN is wearing the tank top......??????????? no tank top but a few were out and about in fairly short shorts at the event this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hiebert Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 We don't see tank tops or shorty-shorts around here until mid to late June, if then. Heralds of spring here are mud (we get that weird jell-o ground, too) and bugs...the latter being the principal reason for the first statement. A couple years ago we had a thread wherein everyone posted a first day of spring photo from their area. That's just next week, we oughta do that again. I will, anyway...
