Yup, it sure is April. It was 79 degrees and purest blue sky yesterday here in Ogden, Utah. Then mixed rain and snow all night and still continuing at noon today - at 34 degrees.
Got some grass seed and mulch out in anticipation of the rain, grinning now at my prescience.
I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

Trying to get some raised beds put together and plant some vegetables, it's about 79 degrees but the darn wind is blowing like all get out here in north Texas...
"Today - Breezy with a high of 81 °F (27.2 °C). Winds SSE at 20 to 21 mph (32.2 to 33.8 kph)."
Scheduled to be in the 70's to low 80's for the next week or so here ( eastern nc) . We will have one more spell of cold ( temps in the 50's to low 60's before it gets full blown summer .
85 here today in SC
6 degrees in sunny Alaska.
It didn't go below freezing last night. Probably for the first night since mid November. What is this spring you speak of?
Yesterday here in northern lower Michigan I was wearing my usual Spring attire of blue jeans, long sleeve shirt, with a T shirt underneath. I got into some very minor chores out in the yard and within just a few minutes found myself soaked in sweat!
This morning I dug out my summer clothes. Pair of shorts, a pocket T shirt, and NO socks in my washable light weight Sketchers slip on shoes. It is still quite uncomfortable warm wise as we are hitting close to 80 degrees and I'm still sweating my butt off. Then it just hit me! My shorts were a bit tight putting them on. Seems I have added a bit of insulation to the old carcass this winter. 😕
You wintered over well then, eh? I typically go up and down about 10 pounds in my winter/summer cycle. Somehow, I avoided doing that this year despite the enforced "hibernation" of Covidiocy. Only gained five this winter. No Christmas parties may be the reason.
Harump! you get rain, we get wind.😵
Planted 10 tomato plants yesterday!! [honesty forces me to amend the previous statement.] My wife planted 10 tomato plants yesterday!! 😁
2" of new on the ground and snowing when I left for work this morning. Expect it to be gone by the time I get home. Nothing on the roads.
Sure was purdy, though.
