You guys are taking the snow that we should be getting, but aren't.

That'll make funny memes or postcards. The beach one with snow, and the cactus with snow. That's not something you see often.

 

I wish we had snow, but I think we do have snow. You just need to go to another island and go way up into the mountains.

The beach picture from today was actually pea-sized hail; just a whole lot of it.

That is a lot of hail. I almost never see that much hail at once in Alberta.

It snowed up here yesterday, but snow in March is practically a rule up in Alberta.  :D

The exact opposite here. It's been an incredibly boring and non-eventful winter. Occasionally cold, with way below normal snow. We're 20 inches down or something like that.

No school here today or tomorrow! Maryland is really getting this year! Nuptial flights are supposed to being in March but as of now the snow is 7 inches deep! I guess I have to wait until July to find even a False-Honey Pot Ant!


Species I keep:

 

1 Lasius cf. Neoniger 30 workers

1 Camponotus sp. 15 workers

20 Tetramorium SpE 30 workers

1 T. Sessile 200 workers
