lew Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I looked out the window 20 minutes ago and the sun was shining. Five minutes later it was snowing so stinking hard I could barely see the end of my yard and now the sun is poking through the clouds again. But the best news is I have ONE tulip opening in the garden Edited April 22, 2015 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketchenany Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yesterday I drove from Steels and the 404 to Newmarket, sunny, windy, rain, ice pellets and when I got to the hospital some woman was talking snow in the elevator! Ah yes spring has arrived. That tulip will regret ever coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Perhaps people were a little hasty in declaring that there was no more snow pack to raise the water levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Well get a bucket over that beauty Lew.. as it will be frozen as winter returns tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whopper Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Lew I'm on my third cutting on the yard, our tulips and purple wave are in full bloom. I may have to do what Wayne suggested tonight though because we may get a frost the next night or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck2fan Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Awesome pic Lew.... I had to go out on some errands today and was NOT amused to find myself in 5 minute sleet storm. At least it was still warm enough to melt right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Watching this evenings news it seems like the snow was kind of wide spread around Ontario. Oh well, the long range forecast is looking pretty good for the next week or so. I was just talking to friends in Arizona and they said it's 86 degrees down there.

Old Ironmaker Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) When I pulled in the driveway here on the Erie shoreline I was witness to flurries. It's only April 22nd, (Dad's 88th Bday), we have had snow that stayed for a bit on many Victoria Day weekends over the years. One Victoria Day weekend I camped out of the 20 foot plus long 1970 Mercury Marquis Brougham and woke to find an inch on the beast, suntan lotion in the afternoon on Wasaga Beach. That boat of a car was bigger than some hotel rooms I've been in. Hey catpierre those don't look like weeds to me. MY wife racked the garden out on Sunday and pulled all my Purple Violettes out, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I was told by a pro landscaper BIL to leave leaves in the garden until the 1st of May. Stay out of my boat honey and leave my gardens alone. Edited April 22, 2015 by Old Ironmaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netminder Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 West of Orangeville on 109 there was a line of about 9 tractor trailers that couldn't make it up the hill out of town this morning. Too much ice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) Open the door this morning Lew, only to see it snowing. 1" on the ground. Funny how loud the Cardinals love music was as well. Many of them singing away. Edited April 24, 2015 by Brian B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
