No kidding....I typically top my tank off this time of year and pay the lowest price per gallon. Just checked and it is $4.58 per gallon and on the rise, for comparison, I paid $2.75 per gallon last year. Most of my heating comes from a wood stove, so I really only use around 100 gallons per year. Can't imagine how much the price will be come fall, into winter, let alone what the current lock in rates are right now, I have no clue?!. Literally going to costs thousands more just to heat your home. Hoping for a warm winter for all if that is the case...

Surprisingly no...98.2⁰ was my peak, definitely the highest since I moved here. It doesnt matter though, ridiculously hot out there, to top it off I came home after the softball game on Wednesday to find out the compressor on my central air died...wonderful timing, so had to scramble for window units on Thursday. Heat is an issue with my kid right now which made it even worse and parts wont be here until at least Monday. What was you peak?

might be able to plant lettuce and radishes all summer at this point....

Well, at least the peach tree flowers were beautiful....after last night and tonight, we will not be eating fruit from those trees this year. Temp was 27.3⁰ this morning with heavy frost, can only imagine a few degrees lower tonight finish them off....

Love the whole house fan, as long as you dont run it while it is raining and can handle the pollen, it is such a game changer, especially in the Spring and Fall and those dry hot days that have evening temps dip due to low humidity...probably saved thousands in electric vs running the AC

I know, sucks....it's close though

Feels like it, it has that late June morning vibe, but the chorus of birds and landscape screams Spring...

21.9⁰ for the second morning in a row....can this be it now?

Just touched 80⁰ currently, getting the garden ready, quite warm out there...

28.8 this morning, currently 77.2 degrees....what a rebound, almost too warm in the sun, I know, I know, it is nice, bring on Spring

and we thought food prices were high now....just wait already down to 39 here

Yeah I hate having to store the leftovers over the summer...I picked up half a cord from someone local last week, hoping for something somewhat descent. Needless to say I will have to season it for another 6 months, despite their claims of 16%

I have the opposite here....I have run out this year, first time too. Oil furnace getting its first real workout in years. Need some sunny, warmer days to heat the house up. These cloudy, dreary days just dont cut it

It was like a mid winter run.... We need to melt this mess outside, stuck at 37⁰ here without any wind. Cold gets stuck in this valley, especially with the snow pack.

One way to curb fossil fuel burning, make it too expensive?

I usually keep a tank of oil and just use my wood stove for the winter, but just used up my stack of wood today....I have a local guy delivering a half cord, hopefully to get me through the rest of March, assuming his claim that it has been seasoned for at least a year is correct. Otherwise I will be tapping into my oil reserves, lol

Would be nice to agree, but oil prices are spiking to near $80 per barrel as we speak, short term might be 6 months at this rate. I don't see how they don't keep rising

gas prices are next.....so essentially every single thing we need to function is skyrocketing in price, cool...

It was fun while it lasted, sleet mixing in now...probably 1.6" will do it

1.5" and counting, might break 2"

Pounding here....adding up quickly too, 31.5⁰

Not sure I have ever seen flakes this big, gotta be golf ball size atm....crazy

Yeah decent here, grass has mostly disappeared again...maybe 0.5" so far, temp is just below freezing

oh they had plenty of time for that too....they are also on track to be done with school by May 15th, earlier if they want to by doing some extra work each day. They also get mandatory hiking days in the spring when the weather is nice

yeah, has the feeling of a lot of 33 and rain around here.....if this was early February and not March sure, my solar panels are producing pretty well currently despite clouds and light snow falling
