where h--- is spring. They are predicting rain sleet and snow for tomorrow. My boat cries out for the water and it does not mean rain. I can't even go camping. [flag]

I guess it's all about where you choose to live. I can't say I feel your pain. I have a happy boat.

@Jgorm I was just in Laughlin Thursday and drove home today. The Colorado River looked full, plenty of water coming down. Have you ever boated that area and up toward Hoover Dam? I'm tempted to make a trip out of it. Only 4 hours from Phoenix. If i recall the normal current is 5 mph.

Yeah. My place is on the lower river, yuma to Blythe, but I've been to Havasu, Mead, Mojave and Powell. I think Mojave is on the low side of the Hoover. Powell is my favorite, by far. Mead and Mojave are cooler than Havasu. I love the Colorado! I can't wait to drink a beer on the bridge over the river! Only a few more hours.

Here in Laughlin now its a balmy 93 degrees with clear skies...I'm thinking I'll go down to the beach and stick my toes in the Colorado River this afternoon. Its running at full capacity today, water's crystal clear. Guess spring has sprung here!

We jumped in the river for the first time this season. Chilly, but not bad. We swam for 10 minutes a few times.

There isn't a single lake in MN that has recorded an ice-out yet. :wtf:
On top of that, the lake we normally boat on (Minnetonka) still has 25" of ice...
And the forecast is calling for 5-8" of snow this upcoming weekend.

So...yeah... great spring we are having so far up here. o_O

We've gotten into a pattern here where it's 70's and 80's during the week with a cold front coming in Friday night and then 50's for the weekend. Then the pattern repeats! Think this is the third week. Such a tease....
