Posted March 22, 201510 yr Owner It was a beautiful morning here so I grabbed the camera a shot a few pictures of the sun rising over the canyon.
March 22, 201510 yr Staff Mike, That's nice. Do you take the whitewater raft to work every morning? Big Smile.....
March 22, 201510 yr Author Owner That is what Spring looks like. Strange enough spring start in February which was weird for us. We typically have snow on the ground yet and spitting snow off and through this month. Mike, That's nice. Do you take the whitewater raft to work every morning? Big Smile..... Ummm... No. It would be a extremely cold ride and long walk home. That's some green grass you got there! This green??? Wait till April / May and the water is turned on. Then we'll have green grass. This is just half dead lawn from last year.
March 22, 201510 yr This green??? Wait till April / May and the water is turned on. Then we'll have green grass. This is just half dead lawn from last year. It's really green compared to whats around here right now anyway, all the grass is full on dead brown.
March 23, 201510 yr It's really green compared to whats around here right now anyway, all the grass is full on dead brown. Same here. Another 3 weeks and it should be turning green but unless we get some moisture it won't last long, had a very dry winter, less than a foot of snow all winter and most of it was dry stuff and was gone within a week or two of falling.

March 23, 201510 yr In my area around Bismarck Mandan and areas west it just melted within a week of falling in most cases, never got more than 2-4 inches at the most this winter in my area when it did snow. Have not had anything that even resembles a normal snow storm this winter although anytime now through beginning of may we can get the big ugly heavy wet snow and ice storms.
March 23, 201510 yr Strange winter here too. I think only plowed the driveway maybe 5 times all season. Still has gas in it from last year. Compared to last year that seemed like I was plowing 5 times a week. Rain or snow we could use some more it's looking pretty dry out there.
March 23, 201510 yr Author Owner Heck last night I woke up at 2am to the sound of rain pouring down on the steel roof. I mean pouring down.
March 23, 201510 yr Staff I myself feel all discaboobed..... we had a fall and it's spring now? It's like there's three months missing in there somewhere.
March 23, 201510 yr Author Owner We had a winter but nothing like what I've seen in the past. Typically we have 2-3 feet of snow here and I spend nearly every day plowing snow. This year I think I plowed maybe 4-5 times.
March 23, 201510 yr Staff The winter here lasted about a week. It got down to 33° one night and almost snowed.
March 24, 201510 yr Its been a strange winter for sure looking across the country. All the typical cold regions were unseasonably warm and the Midwest and northeast got hammered. February was the coldest on record here. I've still got several inches of snow on my roof on the north side of the house. Was down at the lake the other day and there is several FEET of ice in the form of windrows. Its quite the site to see.

March 25, 201510 yr I didn't take any pictures but here is some footage of a freighter stuck on the ice just outside of Conneaut Harbor last month. This is near where I live. http://fox8.com/2015/02/20/coast-guard-struggles-to-help-ship-stuck-in-lake-erie-ice-near-conneaut/ http://www.wkbw.com/news/coast-guard-attempting-to-rescue-freighter-stuck-in-lake-erie-off-coast-of-conneaut
