MARCH 1

          I'm more than nerdy about weather . I like the science of weather as how it works with low pressure high pressure systems. When  I was in grade school I liked the weather unit in science. I had many airplane rides in The Northwest Territories. the pilots had to have a good  sense of the weather. The only time I was in danger of crashing is when the pilot misjudged the weather. Well to be  fair the weather  was tricky. The  airplane iced up.

       We did many radio reports on weather and that had to good enough in the 60's.

       What high tech I do remember is when the first satellites began producing weather   reports. I remember the first and only time we  used it,

       But today my topic is March' In like  a lion and out like a .lamb,.We spend time debating whetherr the weather  we had was lamb or lion! Yester dsy we could have had a discussion.

      At midnight it was  minus 18 C and calm, Shortly after  noon it was plus 5 and no wind It was a beautiful day.

    So we'll see what the weather is like on March 31

  1. Much warmer on March 31st!!! Lamb :-)))
    I saw a film on Prime Video that you might enjoy, and perhaps you could watch it: "Saint-Exupéry - The Story Before the Little Prince".
    I hope you can access the film.
    Sending you warm greetings and keeping my fingers crossed for some cheerful weather.
    All the best!

  3. Our March is no different than January and February, we are having a cold winter. It seems to be never ending. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.

  4. We are going through the same transition. Very cold yesterday but will be >0 today.

  5. March 1 was cold and breezy for us. The entire week before was sunny and very mild with temperatures in the high 60's. So I am not sure either about it being a lion or lamb. Like you I'll just have to wait for March 31.

  6. March can be a tricky month, even in the soft south (UK) where I live. We have had some lovely sun and warmth.

  8. Yes, I think March came in like a lamb here, too. Even tho, it was a bit chilly, we had some very nice sunshine.

  9. Red, you read the clouds like others read a book,
    With lion’s roar and lamb’s soft look.
    From icing wings to satellites’ first gleam,
    You’ve chased the weather’s shifting scheme.

  11. I am also very interested in weather. Maybe because I was a farm girl. Here on our half acre suburban "homestead' we plan our activities on the weather: dry and mild, work outside or go for a walk, rainy or too cold, get shopping and inside jobs done.
    We definitely started March lamblike. Now we have rain.

  12. Sometimes I can tell by the way my head feels, that there is an incoming change in the pressure system! I wonder what we are in for from the incoming of March to the end of the month! Let's hope for lamb all the way!

  13. Weather can change so fast. Warmer temps will be coming very soon. :)

  14. I'm always looking at the weather forecast these days. Maybe because I grew up in a household where parents, relatives and friends were always talking about the weather :)

  16. I don't think March necessarily went out like a lamb in Chicago.
