This has been, without a doubt, a STRANGE spring thus far.......I've NEVER seen it rain like it's been doing this time of year Saturday night until yesterday afternoon 1600 hrs, I received over an 1" of rain, plus snow, sleet, hail.....to top it off, we had one HELLUVA thunder storm Saturday night, needless to say, we didn't get a lot of sleep that night, ya know, "Chicken Dogs!" We had 3 big dogs in the middle of the bed due to the non stop thunder that night!!

Dontcha just love being a dog sandwich Dennis? Happens to us every time a far-off rumble is barely audible. Couple of 50-lb wuss dogs we have.

I should consider myself lucky that I only have a 22 lb Boston Terrier sandwiched between Marty & I!

Dennis - it sounds like the winter's weather trend is continuing right into spring for you.

My dog hides under the computer desk when he hears thunder. This was an active storm in AZ with Yuma getting clocked big time.

And so it continues Yeah Stephanie, the pattern is STILL holding!! Which BTW is GREAT.......before this last system blew through, the FIRE DANGER was at HIGH YES....we had a TON of snow this winter but........the spring winds have been HOWLING and dried the forest floors out, in FACT, until last week, we had ALREADY had 3 minor wildland fires, a total of 2 acres each!!!!!
