 MR> It's raining it's pouring the old man is snoring! I am glad this
 MR> early spring storm is not a Snowstorm as it sounded pretty bad in the
 MR> midwest this week and Yesterday we had a threat of Freezing rain.. But
 MR> now just a bit windy at times and lots O rain here in NY.. 

At least we are also getting a few minutes of real sun just about every
day to go along with the rain...  :)  I know we've got flood watches in
place, but at least where I've been, things aren't too bad... and from
what I hear, we actually do need this rain.  :)

 MR> Looks like next week will be the streak that might just tip the scale
 MR> towards spring permanently. Forsythia and Lilacs as well as maples
 MR> are starting to bud. 

Yup, the forsythia next door is yellowing up nicely..  :)  And my bulbs
have leaves well up and some buds showing for the daffodils..  :)

 MR> I am not sure of the exact date, but if I remember right, last
 MR> year at this time. Lilacs were already blooming. A full month early. I
 MR> had never seen them that early before here in NY. The magnolias were
 MR> already gone.

Last year was just an anomaly... and then we got our usual frosts
back... this year is much more normal... for spring, anyway...  ;)
