Wind is now causing havoc. Trees are crashing and wood stove is back drafting. Very dangerous outside right now . Be safe out there

For you farm boys , the Mae will be in town around first week in June.
Riders are welcome and any animals not named , are welcomed to my freezer or back yard if still on the hoof .
I really need to get that going again as I have the acreage

And disrespect to a pig who names men. FU Greg

We are doing just fine here . All of last nights snow is gone and grass is green again.
If we get more , it will not last more then a day or 2 .
I have no plants that I worry about, only boats and they are still hibernating, for now.

I'll have you know I cut grass Friday and shoveled snow Saturday!

We had 12 @ 6am. Sun was out most day . While it only got to 35 , it felt warm and with the ground holding temperature, most snow melted . Should be gone by Thursday with rain expected. Making it tough to put water to the I/O so we will sport small boats and outboards this weekend.

Haaaarummmph [04/07/16]
 
Pouring rain like the proverbial cow and flat rock, wind is from the south and wispy.  Temperature may hit 45 degrees.
 
It's a beautiful day in Penn's Woods.
 
 
Whoops, wind update, now out of the WSW and ripping.

[04/09/16]  
 
 
 
Who was it that said; the NE US would experience dryer conditions and warmer than average temperatures this spring because of El Nino?   Would these be the very same people whom tell me "Global Warming"  errrr......  "Climate Change" is anything but a natural phenomenon?
 
29 degrees this morning with light and variable wind from the north.
 
 


 
And now:  Yinz know the rest of the story!!!
 
 
Tight lines.
 
 
 

Here in NE Ohio it's a WINTER wonderland,snow cover on everything and still coming down.Yesterday I got the skunk AGAIN,did n't get a hit and did n't see a fish although I talked to one group that said they hooked a couple.Might cut the trip short and head for home and get something useful down around the house,the Steelhead season has been a bust and I'm getting tired of it.
Hope you have a better time out on the Hudson Rich

28 and a whipping wind here. Time for a brake job on my car

Tomorrows plan / skip big muddy ( not so bad ) river and hit the panfish lake .
Still about 2 weeks out before things light up for linesiders. We will be ready as all the shakedown bugs have been identified.
Hoping for buckets full of mixed deep fried tomorrow

[04/10/16]    Late morning edition.
 
 
17 degrees F,  the flag,  appears lifeless while the wind is at a dead still as a brilliant sun raises above the eastern tree tops bringing light to a gorgeous blue sky.  Snow still covers much area including my deck where patio furniture, once enjoyed but a few weeks ago, now sits.
 
Weatherman says to expect the temperatures to gradually warm into the forties bringing some mixed precip. this afternoon, eventually turning to all rain, continuing into the night.
 
Meanwhile, joe and I attempt to schedule our day which will include the final prepping, to the new home of the Fish Hawk.
 
HT I did my best to keep as much of the snow as possible and I trust you were not the recipient of such. Sorry about the wind as I became blinded by the snow causing a rant containing many, many and also, a lot of illicit language.
 
 
Tight lines to you and to all.

Cold and pretty nice. I went and watched the nephew play soccer against a NYC team. They did well.

[04/11/16]  Late Morning; 2nd Addition.
 
50 degrees under cloudy gray (grey; Euro) skies with a wind from the south barely tossing the flag until bolder gust, at times, sends her to full wave.
 
Snow has all but melted, revealing a lovely shade of green, except for spots where it laid it's deepest, over the grass and, my back deck.
 
Rained late last night, adding to the puddles already created by the melting of snow, revealing low lying areas across yard and field, as the water awaits to be absorbed in an already saturated ground.
 
I did see a correction by the weather dudette on the TWC web page, we can expect one more day of sub average temperatures for this month of April.  The previous reports, calling for, above average temperatures in the NE; created by El Nino, was for the "other April", which starts Wednesday this week.
 
Regardless, the home of the hawk is near completion but she won't be seeing much of that, according to the report for the "other April",  she will be very busy hauling my silly asz around several of the local lakes (a/k/a; ponds)
 
Tight lines and good times.

[04/12/16] Afternoon addition.  
 
 
 
Wind remains from the north under partly cloudy errr...... partly sunny ummm..... overcast uhhhh...  something or other skies.  Temperature holding steady in the 40's but still expected to drop back into the mid thirties til clear skies and a warming sun push the temps. into the upper 50.s for tomorrow.
 
I'm excited to say tomorrow, we in the NE can expect and will begin receiving our fair share to the beginning of Spring with dryer and  above normal  temperatures.  However, these above norm conditions, unlike the past below normal conditions, will not be attributed to "El Nino" as was first expected.  What a shocker that is.... Huh?
 
Through the quick and thorough investigation of TWC meterologist it has been determined that the NE weather shall be affected by (drum roll please) "The OMEGA BLOCK"!!     Yes "The OMEGA BLOCK"  (which, "we" commoners may never have heard of( according to TWC meteorologist)), will develop and take control of the weather coast to coast.
 
For more on this breaking, exciting and possibly accurate forecast, (which the "TWC meteorologist" rarely get right),  AND before setting sail for the big water please take a moment, check the forecast, to see if you should actually make plans.
