2017 What's the weather like where you are?

[imafan26]

Yesterday was nice and sunny. Today it has been raining most of the day with gusty winds. It is 68 degrees right now and it is still windy. I had to close some windows and the door.

Its a new day. It is 68 degrees and cloudy with some scattered showers. Look out west coast. It looks like the storm is heading your way.

I think the storm broke up fairly well. Most of the precipitation fell on the 4th but not a lot then and 40°f temperatures melted the snow.

It's snowing again hard right now!

I was just thinking that yesterday, I'd reached the milestone where I didn't have to walk in the same 2' path thru the backyard every single time! The melting snow against the south wall and under the deciduous trees had opened up a wider passage for me to tread ... (of course, I could have shoveled an 8' wide path instead of a 2' path beginning in November.)

It's 4:30pm, 34°f, and dark, despite the falling white stuff. Okaaay, I really don't think I'll be shoveling a 2' wide path again from this storm. It looks like if the maximum forecast falls over the next 36 hours, it will be like 1½" but ... still!

Our driveway.

My garden fence posts are about 6 ft tall.

We had a two day blizzard and took all of yesterday to get out. The snow on my garden is the most I have every seen and lows of -18 again tonight. I really have spring fever, was so hoping for nicer weather. At least with the winds of 60mph we kept power especially with the rain we had first.

Had the 2nd warmest February on record. For the next week at least temps are forecast to be mid to upper 70's. So, today I planted 20 some seed potatoes, (red norland) and set out 2 cabbage and one broccoli. I do expect that it will frost again though.

In Feb, 15 days of the month were 10 to 20+ degrees above average, some at record or near record highs. But here in March we are having some of the winteriest days of the year. Parts of Chattanooga are getting a little snow today, though not where I am in No. GA. Today we are having a high of 43 degrees, which is actually 18 degrees below average for the date. It is the kind of day that was typical in Cincinnati late winter- early spring: chilly, very damp, gray skies, cold that bites in and feels worse than the numbers sound. Intellicast says 43 right now, feels like 37.

We've had a couple of freezes lately. It's predicted to go down to 32 tonight. According to forecast we may actually get some snow accumulation tonight, so everyone is in panic mode, buying out the stores. After that we are predicted for 27, 24 !, 33 on the 14th, 15th, and 16th. 24 degrees is about as cold as it EVER gets around here.

We hardly had anything that felt like winter all winter, but we are getting a little bit of it here in March while it is almost spring. But after the 16th we have a big warm up and that's about at our average last frost date, so I am predicting we will be done with our brief, late winter.

Ummm

There is a little contrast between those "snowy" pictures ...

First afternoon here with temperatures above 50°f since 26 November. There is some flooding but I think that we are mostly okay.

About 2/3rds of my yard is bare of snow. There is a new storm a-coming but it looks like rain. Travel over the mountain passes looks okay but it's been difficult for the transportation departments to keep them open and several recent closures.

What's the weather like? We still have a heavy rainy day here with lightning strikes and wind blows. Can't go somewhere! Such a bad a day. Hmmp!

Hopefully, tomorrow will fine.

[applestar]

It's 21°F here right now and will get colder. Today's forecasted high will be 27°F late in the afternoon.

We didn't get the predicted snow accumulation yesterday, being in the transition zone just around freezing point. Freezing rain/mix then snow -- my street looked slick and frozen solid around lunch time, though it had warmed enough by late afternoon for them to plow up all the slush to the side of the street.

My mom said her earliest ornamental cherries had flower buds that were turning pink -- probably got covered by the slushy frozen rain that turned to snow yesterday -- she had power outages in the area -- then this overnight hard freeze.....

[!potatoes!]

peaches and plums were maybe a bit past full bloom - 17F this morning. hoping the 1-year-from-grafting pears we put in the orchard (which were starting to break bud) make it through. back to 'normallish' weather by the end of the week.

No snow, but we are having a cold snap. 24 last night and tonight, then we start warming up again. But 24 is very cold for here.

Chickens seem to be surviving it fine. The coop is unheated. We close them up in the nest box at night with lots of straw. I guess six chickens make enough body heat to get them through. They stay all cuddled up in a pile. By sunup they are eager to come out and eat and drink, even though it is still chilly.

London today was lovely ,my apple tree raspberries and black currants are bursting into bud, the lawn was dry so its had its first cut of the year ,Garlic planted in the fall is looking good .Broad beans (Fava) are just poking through ,my purple sprouting brocoli is beginning to head up .
Yes its spring in London !

The first 60°f day in ... forever .

Wind gusts to 40mph. Rain this morning

With all that, I could pick up the remaining (November) snow in my yard and throw it over the fence . Okay, I won't do that.

Wow. After 2 weeks of 75 to 80 degree weather, this coming Wed and Thurs it's expected to drop 25 to 30 degrees down from that with some rain/snow expected. It's been 15 to 20 degrees above normal.
