Well, its snowing here right now. I had planned all year to start working in my shed this weekend to start putting ice fishing stuff away and moving the pumpkin/summer fishing stuff forward. With the 15 degree high temp this weekend that got put on hold. My new boat arrived and I told the dealer to keep it for two more weeks..lol..that never happens. But, looks like a repeat of spring 2013 now.

yeah, I'm in the "please don't frigging rain anymore" boat here too. I managed to get the wheat/rye/whatnot tilled once, if it ever dries out I can finish that and move on to next phase. farmers almanac is saying it's going to be hot with above average rainfall this year here....great. I love humidity..really.

I'm a lot colder than Burnsville, but Ely and Kakabeca Falls are another world of hurt entirely. Snow can't last forever. I'm looking forward to finally having time to grow pumpkins again.

What some of you are going through is what we go through here every year. Get your coldframes out and full speed ahead! Summer will come. How much cold can the Svb take? Maybe the cold will take some out?.. We don't have much insect pressure here because of something!
I know summer is coming because the stores have the bug spray on the shelves! Lol
