Nothing but rain and mid 50' to 60's highs. Then it will drop back to high 20's at night in a few days and the whole cycle will repeat itself.

Had a bit of rain here in Florida. It's perking up my winter-dormant grass and plants.

The rain has let up here...but at least it's warmer than it has been lately.

I dislike the cold!

Big Snowblower

I just got a big snowblower, 10hp. It's warm and sunny here in the mountains, and the hardware stores are getting in their new lawnmowers. They didnt want the snowblower laying around in the garden supplies. I still have 3ft in the backyard, and it tested great! Now that I have one it will probably never snow again. Whatever works.

The last few days have cooled back down a bit here. Todays high is all the way back down to 75! Man I love it here. And I am glad to say that I will never have to own a snowblower! We actually got snow for the first time in years this winter. Granted it melted within minutes, but still! Snow in Phoenix!
