We had 19* for the high 12 days ago, I picked up baby chicks that day!, then a mild stretch, this past wedensday it was 75* here and it made 80* in Albany about 25 miles South East of me. Saturday and Sunday were pretty mild, now today it's 34* and a raw cold Rainey damp day, just relit my Woodstove. At 6 am i thought i heard the county go buy, sure enough i drive to the farm at 8am and hear the salt hitting my truck? It sure has been a strange winter, no steady temps to speak of, a month ago today or so we had -21 coldest we've ever seen it here. As I stated I never plowed snow once this year, we would get at most 3 inches and 2 days later it would rain and melt away, not looking toward mud season!
 
Jay,

I have mud knee-deep to a giraffe all over my farm. It's been rainy all winter, punctuated with a couple of days here and there of sunshine. I just came in from doing the morning chores, and once again, I'm soaked.

I feel compelled to sit here at the computer in my skivvies and rest for a few minutes before I shower and start over with dry clothes. What a mess!.

It is cool and foggy in Eastern Iowa this morning, my flight to AZ got cancelled, so will catch one later in the day after it clears.
 
Mud season is in full bloom here on NY's northern border. I loaded a couple of round bales this morning and it will cost me more to fix the ruts than the money I got for the hay but the man's livestock needed food. It will be a while before the ground dries enough to drive on my fields much less work any land. In my opinion, still much better than snow.
 
It was 60 here in western NY Saturday and just a nice overall day. It was hard to not start getting out my tractors I have put up for the winter. A bit too wet to get around with them. I did break out the grill.
 
Yep - Last Saturday we had 70* and a year ago last Saturday we had 70" of snow with 10*. I'll take this anytime.
