Neither will I, but suffice it to say I've found it necessary to turn on my A/C the past 3 days to take out some of the humidity in the air.Francis Barnswallow wrote:I'm a nice guy so I won't say what the temps are here.
We've only had 1 night of 32 degree temperatures so far this winter. It is unusual to not have some real cold weather for our area several times a winter. I just hope this isn't a prelude to a hotter, more miserable summer.

....like last year. But for a La Nina type pattern we've been in for a little over a year now, just be ready for hot dry weather and a lot of smoke and fog at night.......the kind of smog that instantly gives me a headache.
The trade off is that La Nina tends to turn hurricanes out to sea, like last year.

It's been more fall like than spring here most of the winter. I can't wait either James. I have been planning my garden since last summer, trading seeds all winter growing tomatoes in the basement, keeping up with several froums. It's all I can do to keep my sanity.
I can't wait, soon it will be seed starting time than the craziness begins all over.

the weather's not being very wintery here - high near 60 today, high 50's for the coming week...so I'm not waiting. got a pile of potted perennials outside anyway now, might as well pot them up a size now as later.
kinda worried at this point that the warmish weather will continue for a while, the fruit trees will flower, woodland trees will break bud...and then we'll get three days of of killing cold and the area's apple crop will be shot again (last year got a massive hailstorm during flowering).

That could be a problem I noticed a few weeks ago some trees putting buds on, some of them were almost near flower stage. That worried me very much.!potatoes! wrote: kinda worried at this point that the warmish weather will continue for a while, the fruit trees will flower, woodland trees will break bud...and then we'll get three days of of killing cold and the area's apple crop will be shot again (last year got a massive hailstorm during flowering).

OK, I filled a pot with potting soil, and when it finally absorbs some water, I am going to plant some beans I want to check the germination rate on.Go plant something!
We got a storm last night, it rained mostly, but turned cold at the end and put down 2 inches of very wet snow, then turned colder. This month of January has been a wet one. December was dry. On average I'd have to say we are having a warm winter, for this area.
