After several days of mid-Spring-like days, they call for 25degrees F tomorrow evening. My neighborhood has many white and pink dogwoods that were just starting to flower. If the forecasters are right, it won't be pretty.

I'd expect a lot of yipping and howling, if not outright barking. But maybe that is how the dogwoods behave in the West on cold Spring mornings.

It is freaking snowing like there is no tomorrow. Yesterday it was in the high 70's, day before it was over 80.

One of the great things about Portland is the many varieties of flowering trees esp. in some of the older neighborhoods. Spring and Fall are really 'events' to look forward to each year.

There's never a duck handy when one is needed.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

We have had snow, sleet and sunshine in various quantities today, sometimes simultaneously, sometimes a few minutes apart. There is a chill in the air but I cannot complain really. Husband and I are taking time off this week and taking long drives, among other things, so it is good weather for that really.

Don't laugh, this morning I passed workers at a local park "blowing" leaves and loose sticks, all coated in an inch of ice. Then I passed the next set of "lawn" workers trying to rake old leaves, also coated in ice.

It was absolutely beautiful today, cool temps and lots of sunshine. The rest of the week through the weekend looks stellar.

High of 40 degrees again today, with an easterly wind and salt floating about in the air.

More late February than late April. Brrrrrrrrrr.

We've got a little warming trend going on...

After some late season rain last week and over the weekend, and some windy chilly weather, ("chilly" being defined here as not getting out of the low 50s) it's 67 at the moment, (hit 71 earlier today) tomorrow we should be in the mid 70's, and Thursday we may hit 80...

I'm glad to see the tornadoes gave you a miss.

I was up in your neighborhood today (well, Providence-ish); weather was dreadful.
