It's insane. The yard looks like February. Worse, I CANCELED a dive last night because of it -- I hate driving in Seattle in the snow.

Weird. Definitely weird. But kind of cool! No cancelled trips for me! Yesterday's diving was great!

I don't mind Washington getting snow in April, but do you have to send it over here to us in Idaho too? Keep it to yourselves, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Image

Well, it was a real spring day at Cove 2. Cloudy, then spattering rain, then blue sky, and then I drove home and got hailed on while unloading the car.

Mexico just can't come too soon.

Not to rub it in, but it's clear blue sky here in Kennewick. Better wear sunblock if you're going to be out.

Doesn't matter. Today you all dove Puget Sound and I dove the Columbia River. You win, snow or no snow. :prayer:

aaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaha....it's sunny and 80 here.

I agree with ben though...I havn't been able to dive in a while. BUT!!! I did find an alluminum tank washed ashore this week.. I doubt it's any good, but enough of jake rubbed off on me to keep it and verify it's still in hydro. I just need to clean the algae and barnacles off and get a new vip (if it'll pass).

It's been snowing for the last hour and a half. That's THREE DAYS IN A ROW. This has got to stop, or I'm moving to Mexico.

Dude, I'm not even sure I would try to get it hydro'd. I would have kept it though, if nothing else for "yard art"!

As long as it doesn't snow in Maui, I'll be happy.

To be honest I'm okay with this, because I'm going to Maui.

Gotta go. To pack. for my trip to Maui.

Did I mention I'm going to Maui?

I'm packing for Mexico.

Of course, nobody knows I'm taking Cave 1 in Mexico next week. Because I'm not excited about it. :evil4:

Got flurries Friday evening while gearing up for my dive with Brian and Jeanna.

Saturday I was out on the lake with Scott, Ben and Shaun diving the YMS-359. After the dive, Shaun told us it was snowing while we were down. Then we got a real dump while we were unloading the boat.

Sunday I just decided to go with the flow and went snowshoeing at Mt. Baker. It was snowing (sometimes hard) on the mountain ... we got maybe 3 to 4 inches while we were our walking around.

I decided (stupidly) to drive to Vancouver this past weekend in my rear wheel drive car. At mt. vernon there was 4 inches of slush right on the freeway. I came pretty close to eating it, but the rest of the way there and back was fine. :violent1:
