Hope we don't get another cold snap

[ohland]

Looking at Weather Underground (the forecast site, NOT Obama's associates) and M-F of next week we have five days above zero, and three of those hit 50 during the day. I hope (not an approved planning method!) that my Daffodils do not come up and get burned like 2014.

One year we had a cool spring, and there were drifts of daffodils. Last year's warm snap followed by a cold snap was not good, the daffodils moped, and the regular hostas got snapped pretty good. Bleeding hearts were not happy, nor the tulips. Or crocus.

We had a cold rain all day thats soon to change to a winter mix. Looks like it may get nasty. Maybe one of those Pennsylvania Marksmen will shoot that Groundhog!:redneck:

[bbs70]

Cold today & tomorrow.
Friday warmer.
Sat & Sunday in the 40s
Mon & Tues mid 50s.
At least that's what the weather guy says, I says I'll believe it when I see it.

[Sticky]

Snow here in the mid Atlantic tomorrow, hopefully a warmup next week. I'm runnin outta firewood, need spring to get here soon!

[twc1964]

Dropped below freezing around 5pm here. Rain, sleet and wet roads make for an icey morning.

That's why I'm staying home tomorrow. Just not worth it.

[twc1964]

Well slim1836, i may be staying in too. My employer isnt going to pay my ins deductible or hosp bills if i slide off the road. Ice on the streets means im sleeping in.

[Bo1]

In the low 80's here today, and will be icy and snowing when I wake up.... All of my fruit trees are in full bloom. :( Looks like I will be fruitless just like last year....

I was just out in the shop separating lead from the range that we got late last fall, and crushing the solid ones. I'm getting ready for that warmer weather that is suppose to get here next week as it has been a long enough winter for me. Bring on spring as I have over 1000 lbs. of range lead to melt down, that mainly my wife picked on the days we didn't find much brass or we got done shooting early and nobody else was there. I am so blessed to have a wife that loves to shoot, and pick up at the range.

I have listened to ice pellets on the windows for about 4 hours now. It gets annoying because of the constant tap-tap reminder of tomorrows showing of Commuters On Ice.

[SSGOldfart]

Yea it was in the mid 70's today now ice hitting the roof and Windows

Good Morning!!!

Got up this morning to a couple of inches of snow on the ground here in southcentral Pa. the weather liars are predicting 4-7" or more depending on location. Up to 10" in northern Maryland where I work.

I took a vacation day...probably could make it to work, not so sure about making it home.

Snowing hard and a bit on the windy side, just below freezing temperature-wise.

Hopefully, the power will stay on and maybe I can sneak down to the reloading room for a few hours before I need to run the snowblower and break out the snow shovel.

[farmerjim]

I am 3 weeks behind my normal date for planting tomatoes out in the field (covered). I am running out of room in my greenhouse. Ice pellets are predicted for this morning.

It will be another two months before I can start planting up here.

[375supermag]

Just took the dog out for his bathroom run. Snowing hard...Black Lab looked white when he came back to the house.

The first snow plow just went down the road our cul-de-sac is on. Hopefully, the township will make an occasional pass through the cul-de-sac today.

I won't bother clearing the driveway until they get done piling their typical ice and snow barrier right at the end of it.

My son took his 4WD truck to work this morning, so clearing the snow will be pretty much my job. He won't make it back home until after the storm winds down late this afternoon.

In the meantime, I will hang out in the den, drink some hot Earl Grey tea and maybe order some stuff online.

[Taylor]

Kentucky and Tennessee got hit again.

[farmerjim]

It will be another two months before I can start planting up here.

I lived in Montreal for 12 years. Plant day up there was May 21. I am usually harvesting tomatoes before then down here.
Not this year.

[dragon813gt]

Cold snap implies it warmed up. Hasn't happened here yet. Called off today because of the storm. Road conditions went from fine to horrible in about ten minutes.

[texassako]

We broke some records around here with 7" of snow in some places, but we will be in the 70's again next week.

[starmac]

I have been off work two weeks because it was too warm, got the call last night that he thought the ice was finally thick enough to hit it again today. I am hopeing it will at least hold out another month, may be hopeing for a little too much.

Garden?? Not until end of May here for tomatoes!

Garden?? Not until end of May here for tomatoes!

Minnesota, land of perpetual ice.

We did have a gaggle of Robins here today. Still a bit early for them. Not really hot on early spring, after the snow goes and the ground stays frozen. Then everything turns into a sea of mud.

My favorite time of year is late fall, warm days, cool nights. Easy living. Might even burrow in a pile of leaves this fall for my Brittany...

[MaryB]

I get a 90 day growing season most years... maybe stretched to 110 on good years.

[ohland]

364 and a quarter days of supermarket season per year. Try it.

43 degress today.

After considering how much effort went into the ONE time I made salsa, I went back to buying the hot Pace picante sauce.

My neighbors absolutely obsess over "vine ripened tomatos" and can every one they don't eat. I'll buy my Drei Frateli -DICED- tomatos and pour them into my chili or spaghetti. Add a can of my Secret Helper, Hunt's Spaghetti Sauce (usually .89 or .99 a can), and things get better.

Another truism in life - "If you keep your expectations tiny, you won't be so whiney"

Hi...
So it warmed up to nearly 50F today.

Close enough to spring for me!

My son and I went over to the gun club and did some shooting. We had to walk across a frozen parking area (ice skating without the skates)and climb over 4 ft high plowed up snow to get to the handgun course. Ran a hundred rounds through my new M&P 40 and he ran about 150 through his new Beretta M9.

Then we skated across the parking area to the rifle range...waded mid-calf high snow to get to the shooting benches and then the same to get to the target frames. We ran 150 rounds through the AR15 he just built to test it for function and reliability.

It may still be winter, we may just have had a major snowstorm and there may be more cold and snow to come. However...

I hereby declare this shooting season has begun!!!


​Happy days are here again!

[MaryB]

Going to the range Tuesday I hope. Need to pick up prescriptions and a few other things and it is on the way!

Bad experience is standing with both feet flat on the ice and you are still sliding. I call it "looking at Jesus" when you finally fall and are laying on the ice, looking up...

[ohland]

Need to pick up ...

Enough for everyone?:happy dance:

[MaryB]

Sorry I don't share my narcotics, dang things are to hard to come by.
