Bumping.

We have the very real potential of accumulating snow in the SHORT term. This'll be the thread for another potential win for the S&E folks this week, since...no one else cares

Let's do this! I'm measuring flurries if I have to.

32 degrees, 16 flurries, 11 graupels La Plata

Well let's try this again in the right thread: can report 14 flurries in La Plata. *It's Happening GIF*

27 with new growth on some of my boxwoods. *sigh*

Of course it 33s and rains in La Plata. Still nice to see pinks and pops of blue on the radar again. Even if they're way west of me.

66, light rain, and a delightfully orange sunrise

It's pretty out there! A/C unit cameo.

Yes! There are also varieties of tickseed which have daisy-like yellow flowers blooming now. Both native. I have some goldenrod in my yard and it will self-seed, but not overly aggressively. Goldenrod is an important food source for south-migrating monarch butterflies as well!

Awesome! Thank you!

Goldenrods are blooming and many tree species are starting to show some color. Cool air coming in this weekend should help as well. 

I was wondering which plant was responsible for the gorgeous golden waves along roadsides these days! Is goldenrod a native plant I can add to my garden beds? I'm good with it self-seeding. I just don't want to plant something invasive.

58, sunny, and still in the plains this morning. Perfection.

Torrential rain with strong gusts and a couple claps of thunder.

Moderate snow is back after about an hour lull. Temp wobbling between 28 and 30. La Plata.

Flipped to all snow minutes after my everything mix post. Deck and car tops caved. Full on snowglobe out there. 30/30 La Plata

Everything mix!

The last hour: heavy rain, light rain, oriole fighting a squirel, dog angry at both, dry, heavy rain, crows, dog angry at the crows, dry, rain-sleet mix. Whole time: breezy. 33/33 La Plata

73! *twerk*

This came in the mail today. Time to throw all my money into the ground.

The little southern squall came through earlier, dusted the mulch, and gave the kids another 2 hour delay. Certified snow town behavior. La Plata.

Flurry-sleet mix. Happy Sunday y'all! 33/33, La Plata

Forgot to share these from the 28 January storm.

My friends knew the job was dangerous when they took it. I told them either I’d cancel and rebook the trip or I’d leave a day early if there was a storm over a foot.  They knew.  They knew!  And this was 3 months ago i told them.  Problem is I think this storm would happen too late even if i did get back Sunday instead of Monday.  So I might just be stuck. And in a corner in the fetal position while they are on the beach Sunday. 

We can skype you in? 

Schools on delay due to icy roads. The kid will be happy.

Sleet-rain mix in La Plata

It sleets in the plains. 35/33 La Plata

Yes. See Phineas for instructions! 

Oh I'll take the ice storm instead. Thanks. Lol.
