  1. I slept through whatever happened last night. Garden was wet again and the potatoes and garlic are doing well. Hopefully early next week is the last below freezing and I can get more food plants out. Re: the front lawn; if it's green as they drive by @20 mph I'm good with it. I mow often enough, haven't fertilized or watered it in 30 years but I do "harvest" the seeds from the unmowed backyard and spread them, but that's the extent of the maintenance.
  2. 80° is too warm. 50 is too cold. I'm turning into a cranky old fuk
  3. 26 here. I already added 10 gallons of diesel to avoid the higher cost of a 100 or 150 gallon minimum for heating oil. I might actually go do that again today. I'm only using 5-6 gallons a week now.
  4. It's snowing Graupeling actually but close enough.
  5. Golf weather is coming, I predict that your patience for yardwork is lower than you think right now.
  6. Send it this way! 47 isn't horrible but the clouds and 46 dew point means it's uncomfortable. Bring on the sun!
  7. Boy it sure doesn't feel like it's gonna be a +17° day. 37° with dense fog isn't encouraging.
  8. Topped at 75 before the clouds and random drops got here. Radar looked more sinister than it was.
  9. It looks like a droopy dick because it's sad that it's showing us that kind of weather.
  10. What were the stats for April 2012? My feeble memory says we went over 4 weeks with no rain and 60s-70s every day.
  11. 33° and misty after .97 kinda sux. Better than adding to the drought I guess.
  12. *shudder* That was the year after I opened a ski/snowboard shop. Both of my first two years sucked for snow.
  13. Remember, I'm ~45 miles in and at 700 feet so nights are cold. I think I undershot and therefore underbudgeted for the cold 3 months and with the pop in oil (and diesel) prices it's a bad time to be stuck buying enough for 6 cold weeks when I probably only need 30-50 more gallons.
  14. Anyone still hoping for cold can contribute to my home heating oil fund At heart I'm a wacky winter weather freak but my wallet has been abused lately and it needs a break.
  15. Sort of... Big Bear area above LA, Andorra and the Atlas Mtns in Morocco are pretty close.
  16. Ha! When I saw that pic earlier I thought of you. Marquette MI
  17. Thoughts on travel conditions into the Daks on Thursday? I need to make a quick run up to Saranac and back.
  18. I was outside at the tail end and saw the flurries here. He was a solid poster, always thorough and professional. It's amazing that he posted right to the end and there was no indication of a problem. RIP Roger Smith
