I am sick to death of this winter. When I first see a jonquil coming up (I don't care in whose yard) I am going to kneel down and thank the Lord.

When I moved to Southeast Missouri in the late seventies, I did not know anyone or the weather. I was assured by new friends that it never ever snowed in February. On February 24th, it snowed 24 inches eight hours.

And for the next ten or so years, it snowed and iced, a lot. I remember trying to crawl up a hill on snow and ice trying to get to a main street for a ride to work.

Then, for the next ten or so years we had extremely mild winters. One year it did not even snow at all.

So now, this winter has been dreadfully awful to bear, I tell you.

The older folks always told me that extreme weather is in cycles of seven to ten years, and then reversed. Is this true?

Come to Norman, OK. I have crocus and jonquils blooming in my yard.

You folks to the south and east of KS have been getting the brunt of all these storms....we have been starving for moisture. I would love to see just one of your monster snowstorms this year.

I live in SW Mo, 60 miles N of Joplin. My jonquils are up, but not blooming yet. I am with you, truly sick of this weather. Must be all that global warming!!

They're here! In NW Ark in my front yard, under the snow!
