Springtime in CO

Snow this AM as I rolled out of bed. My dogs were not happy with this development. ;) Weatherman said snow at 5500 ft this AM.......well, I'm at 4398 ft...... It is now gone. I will probably have no garden this year, too wet to rototill and the weeds have taken over the garden. Wild mustard anyone?

Sue, on the stormy frontier :lol:

Sunny and 84 out here on the lakes. Sipping a cold one and thinking of all you at work now (Rjj & JP) while waiting for the afternoon bite. Forcast is exceptional weather here for the weekend and BBQ time Monday. Ahhh the reason I moved here is back..........Have a safe weekend all and remember those who gave it all so we can be free.
 
Well I think we have all moved into summer. By the number of fish in the river it must be that time. The nets from the commercial fishermen seem to be catching everything coming up river and even the birds have left. Some of the regulars say the nets are so thick down river that you can walk on them. Tomorrow I will see for myself. If what they say is true it is just plan wrong. Fished the last two nights and caught Jack to speak of. One of the regulars said if I can't find them nobody is gone to. Shows ya how greed can even screw up fishing. That should have been include in the Bill of Rights. Sunny and warm on the edge of the white water.
 
I swear, I don't think summer will ever come. Rain, rain, rain, and high temp 50 degrees. Can any of you Texas boys send up some sunshine?

But on the bright side hay should be about $70 a ton this year!

yup....hear ya JP.........50's and raining....bet we've had 2-3 inches since yesterday afternoon.......a lot of rain for the dryland, but the winter wheat is loving it. If it makes it through without a hailstorm, should be good for my in-laws.
 
Heat and more heat over the past couple of days. Lots of rain week prior plus tornado a few bllocks away. Had the (not so little ones grad open house today) with 90's and 50% dew points. Well the corn should be knee high by the 4th of July.

Rjj,

Took my nephew from Santa Fe out this morning (Free weekend and take a kid fishing day) and caught 5 largmouths to 3 lbs. and a couple young smallies. Commercial fishers need to make a liviing too and we don't like the Indian Tribes access to Salmon but just fish around their nets ........ but totally understand.

The net thing seems to be something not regulated by Maryland DNR. Once they see the effects I am sure that will change. The Bay has a great deal of fish and crabs. If left with out reasonable control it will be over fished just like the Rock Fish have been in the past. This is the way they make a living and that is great. If what is taking place, is to continue, they won't have a living there will be no fish. Not real hard to figure out. I have been on and around the Chesapeake all my life and never saw this to the extent it is today.
 
Well, the 10 day forcast shows upper 60's to mid 70's finally starting this Tuesday! But the Bighorn will still be closed out for a while. Quite a lot of snow over the past 2 days. I'm hoping maybe to get into that country on the 4th of July to flyfish those brookies.
 
Post script: Really rank today. Cold. Could see my breath in the air all day. Supposed to be better on Monday. That figures.
 
Hard to believe........flippen middle of June and we're getting excited cause it might hit 70 degrees......sheesh. On the other hand, guess it's better than a drought. Glass half full, right?
 
Well too hot and humid again today to even go fishing....that's pretty bad. And I left sunny/humid south florida.......getting too old and fat for these dog days........thanks for the reminder Fatboy, I could be living in St. Louis where it is the most humid place I've seen. Time for a half full glass of sweet tea :)
 
Yeah..........it's actually a gorgeous day today, sun burned off the early morning clouds, just a bit of breeze......would be perfect weather........for the beginning of May! :cool:

But, I am enjoying it. Y'all can keep the humidity out east...thank you very much....... ;)
 
Just spent the last 2 hours in a below grade storm shelter. 2 funels toped the hill above us. Had to make a run for the neighbors. We do not have a shelter yet. It is all east of us now but I'm concerned for the people in South Dakota and Nebraska. Bad stuff this.
 
We are under the gun today. The system coming out of Iowa and crossing the lake looks apocalyptic. I'm really tired of the storms we've had over the past two weeks. If the farmers don't have their corn in by now they might as well forget it since the fields are and have been under water for quite a while.
 
Humid.....sticky? Biloxi, MS in August gets my vote........ugh. Although, when we visited my son in Savannah, GA last August.....pretty flippen miserable there also.
 
Well, it looks like summer might have arrived here, finally. We had frost warnings over the weekend. Of course, it could still snow on the 4th of July and this year, I wouldn't bet that it doesn't! :D

My garden is pretty much a no go, a little lettuce, some donated garlic, brussels sprouts, and a couple of tomato plants. I am going to try to get the beans and corn in today, much too late for pumpkins.

On the flip side, the trees and shrubs that I planted this year and last are thriving, along with all the weeds. Should be a good hay crop here if it doesn't rain while it's on the ground.

Sue, in sunny CA :cool:
