Would be horrible to go the entire winter without 1 decent snow event. I'm not very optimistic, but hopefully we can pull something off in early March. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking some broccoli and cauliflower might have a chance if it goes in now. If it does sprout you can cover it with a deep pile of leaves and maybe a solid cover if it snows and it might just work out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broccoli can take a pretty good freeze. But an extremely hard freeze (like North and West described) can damage it, so to be safe I usually wait until late March to put broccoli plants in. Mid March at the earliest if there are absolutely no signs of a cold shot coming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, Will. It could become a dystopian version of ‘Cheers’. I can see the NNE crew, of that time, lamenting about the negative effect of UHI in Caribou and the rain/snow line being stuck in the Baffin Island vicinity. forky would probably petition the government to substitute feline for bug in the jerky. President Jenner would not be amused at said petition. Rjay would still be looking for payback after BxE hacked his account and put a kilt on his avatar. Thank you Will for an uplifting morning.

Perfect, except for the bare ass ground . Definitely expected snow on the ground when we planned this trip, we’re also nearly one thousand feet elevation in this park, too.

Hopefully they are ALL held accountable. In other news this winter sucks on so many levels Yeah and I didn't even know this happened until someone told me I should look it up. From 1996 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weyauwega,_Wisconsin,_derailment The Weyauwega derailment was a railroad accident that occurred in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, United States, in the early morning hours of March 4, 1996. The derailed train was carrying a large quantity of hazardous material, which immediately caught fire. The fire, which involved the train cars and an adjacent feed mill, burned for more than two weeks after the actual derailment, resulting in the emergency evacuation of 2,300 people for 18 days, including the entire city of Weyauwega, with about 1,700 evacuees. Derailment and fire[edit] At approximately 5:49 am, an 81-car Wisconsin Central train traveling from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, to Neenah, Wisconsin, approached the city of Weyauwega at 48.3 miles per hour (77.7 km/h), traveling on a downward grade. The locomotives and the first 16 cars of the train passed a switch without incident, after which the seventeenth through fifty-third cars behind them derailed at the location of the switch, at 5:49:32 AM. A subsequent NTSB investigation found the cause of the derailment to be a broken rail within the switch that was the result of an undetected bolt hole fracture.[1] The derailed cars included seven tank cars of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), seven tank cars of propane and two tank cars of sodium hydroxide. The derailment ruptured three of the tank cars, spilling both LPG and propane, which immediately ignited. The conductor of the train cut the train after the first nine cars, and proceeded onward 1.5 miles (2.4 km). When the local fire crew arrived on the scene five minutes after the derailment, fireballs were exploding up to 300 feet (90 m) high that were visible for nearly 13 miles (21 km). Fire spread to a nearby feed mill and storage building that were both difficult to access by the fire crew because the derailed train was blocking the grade crossing. High tension power lines were also torn down by the derailment, which caused secondary electrical fires. In total, seven of the tank cars of LPG and propane leaked, and the two sodium hydroxide tank cars leaked their contents. Electricity and natural gas service to 25% of the city of Weyauwega was disrupted, and city water services had to be shut off because of a rupture in a water main. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
