The north of Germany had a good load of snow yesterday. The snow attacks the middle of Germany today. Frankfurt airport has been closed about two hours ago. An accident on the autobahn some miles north of Frankfurt involved 100 cars. We are expecting the snow in the south tomorrow.
It was a lousy decision to come back from the Canary Islands ....

On again, off again. A few days ago I stood on our front deck and watched the snow front move across right by us about a mile or so away. Only a few flakes fell on us, quickly melted in the sunshine the next day.
Drove up to to see my wife's brother yesterday at 0ver 10,000 feet just to see what kind of snowfall he'd had. Some left on the ground in the shadows, but very little overall. Colorado is only at 68% of annual snowpack, so we're headed for another hot, dry year.

Looks kinda pretty Mike .
Sure wish you folks would quit sending these storms and cold air up here to Canada . These Arctic American Storm fronts are disrupting our balmy lifestyle !

I don't mind the snow, I just want the wind to shut off

Drove into Inverness, (Scotland) this morning, and it snowed all the way! Now I'm home the sun is shining and there is no sign of it - Except on the mountains out the back!

We still have snow up in the high country. Flagstaff still has some 5' of snow pack up in the Snow Bowl, so they're going to stay open and have their last ski weekend of the season in April. We here in the desert are enjoying some near 90's temps for the next few days.

I really miss those days when my wife and I went to Scottsdale in either Nov. or March ...saw all the sights and enjoyed the dry / hot temps.

That's all right, it's getting so crowded that it's hardly fun anymore
... at least for us. "Old Town Scottsdale" isn't so much old anymore, horses no longer have the right-of-way, and there's hardly a cactus or a piece of desert visible near downtown. I used to have my real estate license hanging in an office just north of Camelback Rd. on Scottsdale Rd. back in the late 70's. We didn't recognize the whole area the last time we drove by there, nothing's the same in an effort to attract more visitors.
Still, you're all welcome to stay a while and warm up. If you do make it into the area, give me a shout.
