None of the above. All I know is that if we don't get some snow in early May, I can at least guarantee cold rain. Usually on weekends of dressage shows. June to September is never awfully cold, but you start taking your chances come October. This has not been a very snowy winter, but has been one of the coldest. It was 36 today, with the last 2-3 weeks being in the teens or lower.
But spring is officially here, since I've seen my first rototiller commercials. Soon to appear will be the motorcycle commercials, then lawnmowers.
And then leaf blowers, followed by snow tires again. Time flies!
I would sure love to see pictures of your ponies doing dressage sometime, if you would let us see!
Our predicted 1" snowfall turned out to be more like 4", and our snow thrower decided it didn't want to throw today! SSQ just used it to push the snow off to the side of the driveway, and we ended up shoveling the area in front of the mailbox, and the front sidewalk and steps. The air was very soft, though. It was over 30 degrees, but the breeze didn't feel bitter; it was very pleasant! The wind has been blowing very strong for the last few hours, so the wind chills are about 10 degrees lower than air temp. The wind blew out my gas grill when I fired it up this afternoon, but I closed it quickly after lighting it again, and it stay lit!
Spring looks a very long way away from here!
