Got up to around 50*f & sunny here today in east central Iowa !
Spent some quality time outside this afternoon,, & even went & washed the car !
''Thank you Jesus'' !
Am guessing around 1/3 of the snow has already melted, since yesterday.
Almost feels like spring,, just won't look like it on the ground for quite awhile yet .....
Figure it will probably take at least 2 weeks for most of it to melt,, ''if we can stay above 30*f ''.
We are ''definitely'' - ''unfortunately'' in for some flooding this spring/summer ''again'' though ...……
You Guys might remember the flood of 08' here in Cedar Rapids ??
That was really F-ed up,, & I hope the levy & flood walls they put up after it,, will keep that from happening again.
Money the government gave the city to do that,, they didn't use all of it for that purpose though,, & spent ''a lot'' of it on ''stupid'' stuff that we didn't need,, like goofy statues ect ect …
It still pisses me off ! ''Idiots''!!
''All dollars & no sense''.
