Weather makes for muddy mess for homeowners

PADUCAH, KyJust 31 days now until spring and many of you are counting down! Temperatures are getting warmer, and there is some rain in the forecast, that will probably turn your yard into a slushy and muddy mess.

Landscape professionals and homeowners said they are ready for spring, even if it means some extra yard work.

Today the sun was shining, the snow and ice packed down is finally thawing.

Crystal Sanders owns James Sanders Nursery and said people need to start preparing their yards now.

"We go around and mulch all the plant material around the root systems to protect them...If you didn't get seeding done in the fall, it's a great time to start seeding now," said Sanders.

Homeowner Talmadge Martin takes pride in his yard and says he is ready for spring.

"We have had enough of it. We've had more snow than I can ever remember," said Martin.

All the snow in Martin's yard has created mess, that will take months to firm back up.

"You can walk around in some other places in my yard, back out back, it may go over your shoe tops," said Martin.

Both homeowners and landscape professionals said they are tired of winter.
