31 this morning. The rain that fell last night froze overnight on the grass and on the cars dog kennel etc. I guess were at that time of the season for freezes.

Maybe it's a safe way to avoid being ridiculed at the end of the season.

Of all the winter forecasts out there, we need to grade all of them. And see which one did the best at the end of this winter.

DT released his final winter forecast. https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=!AIk7OpnSc_vGNxM&id=1CA2F9A16D1A6375!29409&cid=1CA2F9A16D1A6375&parId=root&parQt=sharedby&parCid=UnAuth&o=OneUp

I'm not sure on that the grass here looks like it's still growing here. Even the wife said it's still growing and I mowed it last week.

I'm not in the DO.

The temperature is in no hurry of dropping tonight.

Mine is very green too despite several hard frosts.

Maybe you can even sneak in a secret mow this week, just to pad the books for 2023
