*Mostly sunny, with some white clouds scattered around, +19C.
*Extremely windy -> SAND STORM! Woo hooo, I open the door and it feels like winter in Ukraine, only not with snow but sand! Even my plants have a layer of sand!

I met a lady in the park couple of weeks ago. She said they run away from the cold in their country, traveled here for holiday. They live in Kazakhstan, it's -45C!!! Can you imagine?!
She said it's never been so cold (at least she doesn't remember).
It's cold everywhere this winter, even here in Dubai for the first time I wanted to buy a heater for the house!! Hilarious, but true....

Mardi Gras day here in New Orleans and the weather is cooperating nicely. Today's high is expected to be in the mid 70's with clear skies and lots of sunshine. It should be a great day for those that love to partake in the Mardi Gras parade mode. As for me, I've been there, done that for far more years than I care to think about and no longer get all warm and fuzzy feeling about it.
The wife and I will likely just hop on the motorcycle and head far away from the maddening crowds to get a little 2 wheel therapy today.

Snow . . . but not much. There was snow 2 days ago, this shouldn't last long either. It is already above freezing.
Above freezing with little wind and snow on the ground - 1/4 mile visibility at the nearest airport!
After an atypical January, we are in a typical February. Snow, fog, anything that isn't tied-down, and the month will all blow away soon . . .

How does Ontario gardener have the same iris avatar as moderator in Oregon?

I resurrected this thread because I just looked at our forecast....jeeezz 74 for today and 77 Wed 78 Thursday. That will be above the record high for the date on Wed... That's a record that was set back in the dust bowl days in 1933 and has stood ever since.
I'm getting braced for a long hot summer!

Send some south, RBG! We never really got our summer - right now it should be clear skies, blazing sun, and 45 C highs.
Yeah, no. It's cloudy, misty, and cold. My thermometer reads 12 C right now, which is all wrong. I'm going to go crawl into the greenhouse now.

SNOW, I'm really getting tired of this stuff. Snow in March the last several years. 
I traditional plant my first potatoes on St Pattys Day. Looks to wet this year. If this is the norm? Time to think better drainage.

Absolutely beautiful day here in New Orleans. It's now mid 80's in my back yard a little after noon. We had a good bit of rain yesterday but it is now clear skies, very little wind and sunny.
I'll likely head to the local Police stables tomorrow for a nice truck load of stable waste to start another compost pile in the yard. Then break out the tiller and turn over a new bed in the front yard for my wife's flowers.

AAhhh, he's back.
I bought a truckload of mulch to try and continue my project of getting to zero lawn so of course, it's raining. truck's in the carport to keep the stuff dry. I'm tired and hate shoveling wet.
