1st Day Of Spring - Toyota Yaris Forums

1stToyota · 03-20-2010, 02:01 PM

Temps in the 30s, heavy snow now, accumulation of 8-12 inches expected. N winds near 30 mph...was 70+ degrees yesterday. Epic fail!

Are you serious?!?!

That's ridiculous!! It's 25 and sunny here in St. Paul; no snow expected - going to be 55 tomorrow and 60+ on Monday.

I'm sorry you're getting hit with snow ... you would think of all places getting hammered in spring it would be Minnesota!!

However .. not going to lie .. I'm very happy we're not; I was able to get my wheels on yesterday since the roads are clear now ^_^

Took my Mom to the airport this morning at 6:30; it was hailing so hard we couldn't hold a conversation in the van! She even suggested we turn around home, but I informed her it was just another example of the interesting weather we get here in San Antonio!

Got back home to find pea-sized hail in the front garden...

Luckily, my little thin-skinned Yaris survived unscathed!

Now it's cloudy, windy and a blustery 47°!

Cheers! M2

I've been awake for 40 minutes, and I've sneezed like 5 times already! I HATE SPRING!

Snow has let up some, but we're expecting to get hit again tonight with more snow. Weather can change pretty fast here. I remember a few years ago when the temp dropped from 60 degrees one afternoon to -40 [windchill figured in] degrees by nightfall. Enjoy that warm weather tomorrow.

I hate hail storms about as much as the snow. Glad your Yaris didn't get hurt.

Wow, Madmax, those are some impressive pictures!!

Meanwhile, out here, it's > 75 degrees, sunny, with a little breeze, real pleasant. Beautiful day.

It's just the freak weather we get here occasionally, we get some real interesting thunderstorms during the summer. I've sat outside and watched ten minutes of constant lightning, ripping through the clouds like a Norse opera!

By Monday it'll be sunny and temps back up in the 70s...

It was 68 degrees and sunny way up here in the northeast today.
