Well, I moved the lawn mower from the barn to the garage.

But I'm NOT moving the snow blower from the garage to the barn, quite yet, because I suspect that's exactly what Mother Nature is waiting for so she can whip up a freak Spring snow storm.

1. Ha! I was thinking a similar thing just minutes ago...

Should I drain/prep the snowblower for summer storage?

Not just yet...

2. I've got it drained, but I just don't trust Michigan weather

I got my lawn tractor started, so I might do a quick mow of the house lot, tomorrow. I use the push mower for trim work, but that is SO hard to start, the first of every season, I'll have to get my bro to come by and take care of that. My upper body strength isn't the best, and I don't want to risk re-injuring the shoulder that I wrenched, trying to start the snow blower the first time, last November.

Once it is started for the first time of the season, I have no problem starting it for the rest of the mows.

3. Middle of the wrist in Mi.

I actually mowed some after sharpening blades. I was afraid It was gonna get away from me. I will have to start mowing by weekend.

5. My house lawn is ready. I'm going to try and beat the rain that's in the forecast.

My back lot is still a little spongy and has some standing water - not unusual. Sometimes I can't mow the whole thing until mid to late May.

4. Mowed grass last week here in Ohio. It's 79 degrees

riight now 81 yesterday. It's like summer time

[Siwsan]

7. It's absolutely beautiful in Mid Michigan.

We'll be more seasonal by next week.

9. I have gone bike riding 4 days straight got 110 miles

in. I went to Army summer camp in Grayling in 1971 it was beautiful it was in the 90s here and 70s there.

6. That's exactly

what will happen if you do.

Seriously... I was looking at April 2018 records here in NW Lower. Nine inches of snow on the 4th, with ten more on the 14th, and six more in the three days after that.

Yikes.

8. I remember, some time in the 70's, when we had a massive snowstorm, right around Easter.

Once the snow finally melted with got like 10" of rain, and that resulted in a '100 year' flood. Crazy year, that's for sure.

10. Thanks, Siwsan. No reason to push Mother Nature too much. Wouldn't want her to be

thinking we were enjoying this weather too much. Keep your mower close and your snow blower closer during Michigan spring. Ya never know what's coming.
