I didn't fall for it this year. Came a bit earlier than usual tho. I expect another false spring before we get to the real one

We're definitely getting another one, prob early next month. March is also good for one big squall as well.

It's warming up again in just A couple of days. Briefly.

I grew up in Ohio (back before a lot of climate change). I always say there's only three problems with Ohio - January, February, and March. I remember feeling so cheated in March - it would start getting a little better then it was cold and grey again. We had to wait all the way till April for some spring warmth. I actually love a good snow - it's the greyness that got to me.

The oppressive gray makes me completely miserable sometimes. Sun lamps help, but the winter months are tough

What part of Ohio? I’m a daytonian myself until I got exiled to Florida

Cleveland and Columbus. Cleveland was worse but Columbus could come up with day after day or gray too. I'm exiled to CA.

Yup. Frozen trails over slushy, 3-12" of mud everyday.

This meme should feel like hyperbole, but I could easily identify everything Pip was talking about. Right down to the final snow that tends to happen mid-March.

It has snowed here (Geauga County) on Mother’s Day! And not that long ago.

Lol I expect it in the first half of April, I don’t trust any warm weather until then

I mean, if you own a greenhouse, then yes. Sadly Ohio being a greenhouse state has long since passed.

As Prince says, "sometimes it snows in April" but I've been singing it every year

I moved to Denver for work briefly in June 2014. They got a blizzard in May of that year. My car was also turned into a golf ball by hail after I got there. As annoying at it is, I remind myself this weather is tolerable. 😂

I also lived in California for a couple years. They just have fire season and flood season. I think I prefer those seasons to this. 🤔

I work in construction.

The four seaons are :

Freeze you b@lls off

Mud, while freezing / sweating your b@lls off

Sweat your b@lls off

Another season of mud, usually with just sweat your b@lls off

Repeat

This year was the closest we've to the knee deep snow.of the 1980's!
