Got to 60 above out here on the prairie today. Not bad considering the blizzards we had on the 13th and 23re of last month. Only time in 42 years I have been on a rig that shut down twice for weather on one well. Now, most of the snow (42 inches or so) is gone, and the grass is turning green. Power companies are still working to replace over 2,000 telephone/power poles that broke off in the storms. Some folks have been without electricity for going on three weeks, now, and still have another week or two before they get it back. The first blizzard knocked out some, but the wet snow/ice of the second blizzard wiped out power networks from Baker Montana to the Canadian Border along the North Dakota/Montana Border. At least the weather is nice.
We had a similar mess back in 2011. Now the grandkids have earned their fireplace merit badge...
