Spring has been canceled this year …

Or, at least that is what it feels like. A rather significant storm is coming in this weekend, it continues to be more of a winter weather pattern, than a spring one….and cold. The Solstice is less than 3 weeks away, it is just getting dark at 9 pm at night, it is 41 degrees outside, and I still can’t plant my dang tomatoes! I want to know … WHO CANCELED SPRING THIS YEAR?

My SLO weathercaster is indicating up to an inch of rain possible this weekend, but other reports I have seen show that Big Sur could experience up to 2 inches on Saturday and Sunday. Snow levels will be dropping in the Sierras, and if I get snow up here – I’m headed for the tropics!

So, I will try to sort through all the photographs and see if, during the rains this weekend, I can’t get the top ones up for your viewing pleasure. In the mean time, don’t put those long-johns away quite yet!

  • Whoever cancelled spring, I want it back. Especially in time for summer. Last year, not much of a summer. Looks like we're headed that way again. grrrrr

  • Spring has been replaced by "springter" this year. It was 38 degrees in the Big Sur valley last night! It's June 2nd and I had to wear a coat to work this morning.

  • I like your wording Kate. Spring has been cancelled is so accurate. I am wishing for a mellow warm Summer of 80-90 degree days, little to no wind with a small breeze and warm nights for tourists and locals to enjoy. I know the rain is good for the skin but our campers get soaked. It does help for the 10pm quiet time rule but I am ready for SUMMER. Thank you.
