I was on my comp. about 5;30 am. About 7 am it started snowing and now at 9:41 there is enough snow on the ground to completely cover the grass.
more white stuff

Roller coaster weather here too .
At the ragged edge of icey windows in the morning and hunting shade in the afternoon , cold rain in the valley snow above 8000 on Sunday servicing the swamper on Tuesday putting the plenum block off back in on Thursday .
The gnats and offensive pollens are brutal as they are getting a full reset every week or two . No valley lilies yet but the second cottonwood bloom and the second brood of collared dove is in the works .

we been nuts too.
in the 20's at night and almost 50 during some day's.
we might get snow or rain or maybe both at the same time.
I scraped frost off the truck windows yesterday morning, and was shooting ground squirrels off rock piles in the afternoon.
in between busting through 2' snow/slush drifts.
our pistol range is closed because it is under 2' of water.
the silhouette range is wide open and there is enough water between the 2-300yd berms on the rifle range that you almost can't see the target stands.

Hmmm. 41F at night and 70 in the afternoon. It was calm today , tested some .22-250 ammo.
I was able to duplicate the 1" at 200 for 5 shots that I had previously shot twice, so that is going to be
the 'go to load', although there are several others which showed enough promise (4 in 5/8" with one hit out at 1.5" -
very possibly the loose nut behind the trigger) that I will load and shoot again.
Snow is pretty much guaranteed to be gone now......although it has snowed lightly in early May, IIRC.
The good load will get a primer scan and a LOA scan before finally settling. So far only Rem 9 1/2 primers
used, need to check WLP and CCI-200s, at least. I think I have some Fed lg rifle primers, too.
finding a sunny day with 2-6 mph winds in Kansas, esp in springtime is a joy.

That snow only lasted for that day. It got warm enough to work outside in shirt sleves. Then yesterday the temperature tanked into the 20/30s it snowed all day. Today it is just as cold and everything is still white. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

Sounds like life here in the shadow of the Sierras .
Mostly cloudy sunny 70° with a chance of rain , snow , hail , lightning and sun .
We suggest SPF 25 with your burmudas , parka ,flip-flops and muckaluks Don't forget to leave your umbrella in the car because it's as likely to get ripped out of your hands in a sudden 60 mph gusts as it is that you will need it to prevent sun stroke today .

The weather weenies this week predicted frost and possible flurries. Didn't happen, but got down
into the low 30's a couple of nights. They predicted three days of rain for Fri, Sat, and Sun, and
so far have got that right. Think they are better predicting rain than they are temps, but than
that is just on any given day I guess.

Amazing how somebody paid that much and so wrong that often still keeps their job. 
Prediction for here this weekend (Thurs, Fri, Sat) isn't much short of the storm of the century, flooding, hail and wind storms and possible tornados. So far as of noon Sat. it has gotten the bottom of the rain gauge damp. Last week the TV talking head called for 5 inches of rain on Thursday . . . Not a drop.
