Winter

Sunday Morning, re-run, snowing, I took the wild birds some seed and picked up the snow shovel to move a bit of snow off the walks.

March 8, we still have winter here 22 degrees this morning and 8 inches of snow still on the lot. We do have clear skies and sunshine. I decided to bake bread today so while it is rising I will look at the internet. Have a great day!

Saturday morning, 34 degrees and sunny. My garden still has 6 inches of snow on it. So I go feed the birds and come sit at the computer.

9:00 AM 30 degrees and sunny. Six inches of snow. Maybe someday it will warm up here?

It did warm up to above normal here!

Sunshine and yesterday's high was 58°f. Overnight, the temperature dropped 30° to 28°. I bet those kinda temperature swings are real common for you, James. They are the bane of my gardening existence! Very few plants appreciate such daily extremes.

A 40° difference between daytime high and nighttime low is possible. That's what may happen about the time of a first or last frost. The day just cannot warm above 70° and then frost occurs by morning. Clear skies, sunny days, sparkling stars at night - freeze! And hey! This isn't a desert and at 2,000 feet, it's not very high ... now, I might be lamenting the PNW spring overcast here in a couple of months .

Just texted to a guy on his way over Monida Pass heading to Park City.

He said that there was a snow storm to drive through.

I was working in the front yard on the fence earlier this week, slogging through the snow still left in the shade. Then, it rained. Now, I have enough snow to make one snowball! There is a chance for more tomorrow night but rain is also forecast. I think that the time has passed for any snow in my yard by afternoon on any day until Autumn. Maybe I can have it fenced out by then .

You gonna fence out the snow? Good luck on that one.

Here this morning 26 degrees and a fresh coating of white on everything.
Clear blue skies and sunshine. The only thing growing is ice.
