I can't remember Saturday March 1, 2008... do you?  Was it cold? Did March come in like a lion?  Or did March come in like a lamb? 

I hope March came in like a lion...  I think it was cold... I showed homes the next day and it got warm and melted snow we had on the ground...

I remember the next Saturday... Saturday March 8, 2008.  We won't forget the blizzard of 2008 in Central Ohio soon.  Maybe since the snow was in the first ten days of the month that counts as March coming in like a lion.... what are the rules?

We officially had 20.4 inches of snow at Port Columbus, on March 8, 2008 breaking the long standing record from 1910 of 15.3 inches of snow.  

We don't get snow like that usually... that was a once in a lifetime blizzard.  

Mar. 8, 2008 - I've become a snow wimp....

I'm looking forward to spring...

I have an obsession about weather.  I took a meteorology class in college. It was over my head but I really enjoyed it.

Did you know that OSU has a weather website?

Twister

The webmaster of the OSU weather site is Phil Birnie.

This is severe weather awareness week in Ohio, there is a 9:50 AM statewide tornado drill today.

A Pdf about Severe  Weather Awareness Week

The little image with the cow and the tractor is little jab at tornado humor, but Ohio's weather can be anything but funny... it's not just tornadoes we have snow storms, flooding, hail and more.  Better to be safe than sorry...

 Happy Spring! 

The Perlanda Center for Nature Research    says the Spring (Vernal) equinox is at 1:48 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time (what we have now because we sprang forward on the 9th of March?  I think.)  

 The Perlanda site also says:

"Perelandra is for everyone who wants to take charge of their health, their environment and their life in simple, new and extraordinarily effective ways."

 I just Googled for something about the equinox... what time it would be Spring... that's how I found it.

Happy Spring Central Ohio
