Out of storage into snow

"The pod", is our choice of wording, but hey, we are from Michigan, so cut us some slack.  We too have had some snow in northern Michigan, but not to the degree you have had.  Yesterday I could still see patches of that white stuff on the northern facing slopes in the woods behind our house.  Once the soil dries out enough so we can get to "the pod" w/o getting stuck in the mud, it will finally be time to un-hibernate the pod from out of the horse barn.

I totally sympathize/empathize with you!  We took our POD to Tucson for the first 2 weeks of April, returned home to a snow clear drive on April 13.  We awoke to 6 fresh inches of new snow the next morning.  Long story short, we have had an additional almost 5 FEET of snow since April 14!  It has finally quit (for the time being), the sun is shining and the snow is melting.  We desparately need the moisture, but would love rain this time of year instead of the white stuff!!!!  I'm ready to go fishing!!

Thanks to everyone who played along with my little word game and provided a little distraction from the weather. The predictions fell a bit short. We got 14 inches of snow on May 2nd, and that beat the previous record for snow in a single May day here by a foot. Schools were closed, of course, and it made for a severely disrupted workday for all; but, in spite of lots of cars getting stuck and sliding off the road, no severe accidents were reported. The snow was so heavy that it broke tree branches all around the area, and resulted in plenty of down power and phone lines. Things warmed up considerably today - into the low 50's - and we can actually see some patches of green here and there. The curved roof of our pod (I'm staying flexible about the wording) shed snow pretty readily, and I plan to de-winterize it as soon as I can unbury a hose and run it across some bare lawn. There may even be some hope for using the camping reservation we have for Mother's Day weekend.

BTW, sorry about the weather ...

Well I can't really help with getting your mind off the crappy weather, cause I am in Minnesota too.
