Weather Ride

So on Sunday we woke up to a surprise snowstorm and had up to 8 inches dumped on us. Tuesday and Wednesday we had temps in the upper 40's to even the lower 50's and the snow has been melting like crazy. Today we woke up to a very heavy blanket of fog and and a 3 hour school delay. This afternoon the rain is supposed to start ( up to 1 inch is expected) and maybe even some thunderstorms tonight! Then right behind that its supposed to turn very cold immediately and we may even see some snow flakes again this weekend. Spring is definitely coming, as we are starting into our roller coaster ride of transitional weather, with extremes from one end of the spectrum to the other. Indiana has long been known for very unpredictable weather, we get hard, long,cold and snowy winters and alot of the time winter doesn't want to let its grip go on us until well into Spring, we often have ups and down clear till May, then as the past years have shown, we go from being very cool to being exceedingly HOT! We seem to skip over spring alot and the same is true with fall, we don't always get to enjoy a nice warm colorful fall, we often go straight from summer to cold. The weather is never boring here that's for sure! But it sure makes it hard to try to know when its truly safe to put plants outside.
