How about this morning, is the theme still fully embraceable?
Absolutely Bob.
I already ran the dogs three miles through the white sludge this morning and had a pancake and sausage breakfast.
If you were thinking I had a hangover, you have to keep in mind that I am a highly trained professional.
Thermometer says 50 degrees here. But it's gonna be a mess tomorrow morning when all this watery slush freezes again.
I heard that Winter just sent out invitations for another party whose theme is "F U People".

That is punishment for having enjoyed the 50 degree reprieve yesterday.Forecast calls for -3 degrees tonight. Ugh.
The weather is watching us.
I was in Lebanon today and the roads are terrible. I struggled to make it to my camera and on the way out almost got stuck. The snow is quite deep and the ruts in the road make me have to straddle them. When I slipped into them I struggled. So the warmer weather is needed badly with some nice rain to melt the snow.
Tomorrow or in 20 more days, your choice.
From the Old Farmers Almanac;
"Astronomically speaking, the March equinox occurs when the Sun crosses the celestial equator on its way north along the ecliptic. In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox is known as the vernal, or spring, equinox, and marks the start of the spring season. In the Southern Hemisphere, this equinox is known as the autumnal, or fall, equinox and marks the start of the fall season; the vernal equinox for the Southern Hemisphere occurs in September.
The March equinox happens at the same moment across the world but is converted to local time. In 2015, it falls on March 20 at 6:45 P.M. EDT, 5:45 P.M. CDT, 4:45 P.M. MDT, and 3:45 P.M. PDT, for example.
Meteorologically speaking, however, in the Northern Hemisphere the official spring season always begins on March 1 and continues through May 31. Summer begins on June 1; autumn, September 1; and winter, December 1. Weather scientists divide the year into quarters this way to make it easier to compare seasonal and monthly statistics from one year to the next. The meteorological seasons are based on annual temperature cycles rather than on the position of Earth in relation to the Sun, and they more closely follow the Gregorian calendar. Using the dates of the astronomical equinoxes and solstices for the seasons would present a statistical problem because these dates can vary slightly each year.

Great Horned Owl hooting all night into this morning. Time to make little Owls. Spring isn't far off.

That one is in Oklahoma City, we have one out back that is hooting up a storm.
A young one from June a few year's back at Cloverdale Farm. Those toe nails can do some real damage
Man, we just can't get a break from this winter…. We could have as much as 8 inches of snow on the ground again by the end of Thursday.
