darksabre Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I can't see the birds, I only can hear them, and I can't match calls to species, but I can tell they're early. Animals know weather so much better that we do. Spring is imminent. The cat was going bonkers at 5am. Woke me up and I never got back to sleep. I think he can hear the birds. You're right, spring is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 I am hearing varieties of bird chirps that I normally do not hear until late March or early April. Mourning doves have been, uh, mourning here for three weeks. For years I would start hearing them in mid-March, almost to the day. March 15, usually. This kind of stuff makes me uneasy.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Our 3rd Nor'easter in a week. https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/ns-19_metric_e.html This could be the big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 The wind has started to really pick up and the first few snow flakes flew by just now. https://weather.gc.ca/city/pages/ns-19_metric_e.html It's likely to get ugly around here. The wind is the scariest part to me. Wish us luck with NS Power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattPie Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 We got missed by this one; maybe an inch of slushy snow over night. Good luck NS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunkard Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 It snowed briefly in my neck of the woods last night but the ground was too warm for it to stick. We still had a 2 hour delay to work this morning though. Thank you Uncle Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thanks guys. Still here and online. It's just started here. Some snow and the wind has picked up. Not abandoning the office yet. We'll see what happens. Seems that the worst will be early evening and into the over-night. It all switches to rain in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

ubkev Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 We got missed by this one; maybe an inch of slushy snow over night. Good luck NS! Such bullsh*t. Everywhere I want to go skiing is getting over a foot and a half and everywhere I CAN go skiing is getting half an inch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Well, we were lucky. The lights flickered a few times, bit no outages. Many others not so fortunate. We didn't get as much snow as expected before the switch over to rain. There was a brief period (maybe 30 minutes) where there was some freezing rain and that combined with the high winds was pretty scary. Winds are still pretty strong this morning, but better. Seems like we are in store for another 'weather event' tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogre Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 We're having one right now. Hopefully the last of the season. Please let this be so. I’m so tired of running around in knee deep snow. Tired of cold howling wind. Hanging iron this winter has been miserable. It’s miserable to begin with before you add in the winter variable. MAKE IT STOP!

PASabreFan Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 The coolest, smartest, most beautiful bird of them all has returned. The killdeer.

You know it is very nearly spring when ... I can't take credit for it. I can never get within 20 feet of them. The reason I call them smart is that as soon as you approach their nest, which is usually made out in the open, maybe in a slight depression in the ground, they begin their warning call and start off running. Your eye follows them. Sometimes YOU follow them. They even feign a broken wing to make you more interested or to make a natural enemy more keen to pursue. Before we all know it, we're 100 yards from their home. Edited March 14, 2018 by PASabreFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before we all know it, we're 100 yards from their home. Slightly less than half of my nine acre property is house/lawn/meadow. I hold off brush hogging the early onset of weeds in the meadow as to not upset the killdeer nests. I’m not especially fond of them because I can’t have an open window in the spring due to their annoying and very early AM calls. I’m no killer though. No killer dear.

ubkev Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 It was absolutely puking snow on the mountain in Scranton this morning from 9 til 11. Got almost 5 inches in 2 hours. I looked like a yeti every time I stepped off the chairlift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
