The last several weeks, the warmer weather has brought lots of mud and stuff. Road crews are all over trying to get huge pot holes repaired cause of the ice/then melt/then ice weather of Jan, Feb and Mar... it is creating road hazards and probably dangerous for crews, as even the detours have detours. People on Craig's list in this area a giving away trees that have fallen to any one who will just come and cut them down and get them out of there yard. Construction is behind so now all of a sudden with the weather better, everyone is working who was previously just waiting for return to work calls. Those going back to work are being asked to do tons of overtime because commercial jobs are behind schedule. But am thankful for all the work my friends and all are getting cause 2-4 months of unemployment has affected not only the jobs, but when your laid off, you have no medical benefits. With the IRS imposing the Health Care Mandates, these kinds of workers have not only have been without employment, but health insurance too, now a fine... That is triple jeopardy, just cause of the weather this year. Well, the usual.. plants are growing, have not lost much it seems from the weather... I am not sure about farmers cause I have only seen one farmer getting out to plow the fields which I think is strange cause most would be chomping at the bit to get things started.
