this year, the only time it has gotten really cold was when we had snow on the ground, it acts like a blanket and actually protects the grass. Even today, it was cold with the wind, but we have been above freezing for over 48 hours now
That plastic there is garlic I planted in November, it is actually sprouted almost an inch so far since I planted....I will cover it with leaves if it looked to get that cold and we do not get any snow to blanket it....all my seeds are started inside and will be taken out when appropriate.
The lack of winter has given me enough time to get this this far along in the garden project. I didn't think I was getting this far when I started this in November...
I hope so, the kids are ready for it to warm up and were asking when spring weather is going to show up....honestly I am soon ready for it too if we don't see some snow soon. I just ordered my seeds for this year, they will be here next week and I will be starting the early stuff soon
Snowing again in Georgia....41 and rain here, no melts here just reality of this season it seems. A simple 2-4 inches over the past 1-2 weeks would have been nice...lol
It has been miserable...teens/20s for lows and 30s for highs, little to no sunshine. Such a waste, I would prefer 50s and sun if it isn't going to snow
GEFS kind have that look too...hopefully the case of delayed, but not denied here. I have a leak around my chimney and can't get anyone in to fix it for "awhile", so dry and boring is just fine with me...
I just want some snow on the ground....even a few inches would be fine at this point...I still have a frozen solid coating on the north facing side of the house from what seems like weeks ago. Lows in the teens, highs in the 30s has kept the ground mostly frozen.
I actually bought some SNDL yesterday, might just be a short term thing though...hard to say what a long term might be, because I will assume a bunch more companies are going to sprout up over the next year knowing business might start "booming"
I have a small amount set aside to use in the penny stock "game", it has actually done quite well recently. I make more doing that than I ever did in fantasy sports.
beautiful this morning....mud by 3 pm. That January 4th sun angle is a killer. Seeing posts about January 4th, 3 years ago, ready for a good snow threat, lol
I was on the northern edge of that...great snow growth, I had 1.7" on my snowboard. Had a great snowball battle with the kids too, perfect snowball making snow. 32.2°
The Para goofus started showing the drying out towards the east 4 or 5 model runs ago...I feel like that model has actually done pretty well so far. The mesos started picking up on it at 18z yesterday. At the same time the Euro had its best run....interesting
The Herps actually showed this too at 18z, odd for that model as it usually has a monsoon for every system....we shall see, could be a blip and all is well by 6z tomorrow
