Here in Douglas just west of Atlanta it’s going to be feast or famine.  We’ve been safely in the snow on all models but a last minute jump of 20-40 miles will screw us over.  I expect to see snow falling most of the day tomorrow but little accumulation.  Possibly the Xmas day storm redux here in Atlanta. 

I was thinking the same thing earlier that the Christmas storm would be a good analog.  It snowed all day but didn't stick until sundown.  We did get 3" or so then so I ended up happy.

Hey, @WXinCanton, check this out my friend. I have been in Ellijay for a year now. This looks good for our areas!

I don't know about you but I've been waiting on the I-20 rule to catch up and push this thing our way.

NAM started out good, then it crapped out as thing shifted out of AL.

Looked pretty good to me still.  I woke up this morning on the northern edge of things and now the rain line is creeping up like 2015.

I have rose of Sharon leaves coming out! They are usually one of the last trees to break dormancy , in the first or middle of April! Just crazy! And I've seen some Bermuda sod put down over the winter, starting to green up!

Wow on the rose of sharon.  I noticed my elderberries were greening out a couple of weeks ago when I pruned them.  I went ahead and cut them back since they are so weed like anyways.  My forsythia is in full bloom and some of my daffodils have already bloomed and withered.  Other than that everything is still pretty dormant I guess since we have had a decent number of freezes since that January stretch.

Quick question for any of you in Atlanta metro. I'm entering my first growing season as a homeowner after living in the northern suburbs of Chicago (Kenosha,WI). I'm used to having to wait until Mother's day weekend to do any planting.

Other than general maintenance and clean up, what can I start working on in the yard? Is it safe to lay seed for grass in spots where it's needed? Can I put a few annuals in the ground yet? Can I put anything in pots yet?

Thanks in advance

Don't plant anything that can't survive a hard freeze as we will have one later in March inevitably.  Too many times people get lulled into planting by an early spring only to have it hit mid 20s in April with 2007 being a perfect example.  Every year my mother in law runs out to Home Depot during a late winter warm spell and plants her vegetable garden.  She usually loses most of it.  Another thing to take into account is the ground temperatures as even though it is warm for this time of year some plants need ground temps that can only be achieved later.  I should add that I speak mostly of vegetables.  You can plant shrubs or trees whenever and I'm not sure on grass.  I know Bermuda won't come back until mid to late April no matter how warm it is.  That is just my experience though.  

Love the new sub forum but I kind of feel split now. I'm not technically in he TN valley but I probably share more weather with you guys than the other folks so I will have to hang out in both. I'm a fanof Mr. Bob as well as he has helped to fill my cities coffers over the years.

I guess this is the correct thread but I would like to propose a new rule. Anyone that mentions JB, good or bad, gets five posted. Any body second this?

yeah! I was wondering if you would recognize her!

She used to get me a lot for not tucking in my shirt. Since everyone is posting fishing pics here y'all go.

Last day of school with one of my teachers. Freshman in 2 weeks!

Ha! She was the dean of students when I was there if that's who I think it is! Corbitt?
