Today's Weather in Your Garden - 62

Welcome back, Robin

38*F an climbing with some clouds. Everything I shoveled is bare already and should be dry by evening. I thought I'd use my running shoes to shovel, which turned out to be not so good. I don't know if all the cushioning allows the soles to get cold or what, but the ice build-up was almost comical, like stepping into a bucket, and then a larger one and so on. I definitely got taller! LOL Ric

Hee hee! Like 70's platform shoes.

Funny you should mention platforms, I was going to start a thread on past trends you miss( or don't).

I miss hot pants and tube tops.

We know, we know.

Well another dusting of snow last night and a chance of a flurry this evening. Temp trying to get to freezing but has fallen back again now as the clouds seem to be taking over and blocking out the warmth of the Feb. sun. Light NNW wind.

Well the snow is all gone here, everything melted.

Weekend fun!

We will be on the far northern edge of it here. They are predicting a 40% chance of snow. This could all change but so far south of here is getting the bulk of it and that does not make me unhappy at all. Best thing is that it fizzles out for everyone and is only a little snow on the gardens. I really do not like Feb. at all.

Febuary is nasty, with those winds and freezing rain storms...

Just a light dusting this am, but it was 'soap' on the roads!
36°, overcast

Just got this, pics not that good as he/she/it was far away. Sitting with a friend and I said HAWK he said OWL. What is it?

another

Love the phrasing above our area "potentially paralyzing" and starts off wet snow and transforms to a blizzard....lovely

Last one. I trotted out in the yard with the camera and then it took off

Owl

Any idea what kind? The wind span was 2-3 feet. I think? It was huge.

Barn Owl, I don't see any ear tufts/horns, looks like a nice healthy one.

Cool.

Look up Barred Owl, looks just like it.

I was just going to say "Barred" but ya beat me to it.

Hoot owl aka Barred owl I agree.

Holy Cow - I thought owls just came out in the night. It caught me off guard. I thought it was a hawk at first but looking at the pics - its an OWL! Lot of birds where I live but never saw that one till today. :-) Thanks!

cool owl Sherrie!!!

Very nice owl.
mid 30's today and snow flurries.

29 now going to 37

24 and clear. Sounds like most of the big storm will stay south, just like the last one.

Hope so! Cool owl, Sherrie----I've never seen one up close, just flying in front of the car at night. Thanks, Jen---I guess I'm glad to be home----really missed the dogs. Cold & sunny here.

hi robin
cool owl sherrie
sunny here

sunny 30 low was 29
high of 40
still saying we're going to get 12" here

32 here at the moment, more Winter weather coming in tonight.

Think we're going to get dumped on here. Jeff is tired of them coming on the weekend though.

sunny and 32 currently.
gotta go to the store today.

Sun is out for now. Temp is 24 degrees and a moderate 5-10 mph NW wind is starting to pick up a little. Still waiting to see where the top edge of that Sat. snow storm will be, hoping for more south than north.

Yeah, everybody and their mother is going to be at the grocery store today.(including me)

The milk and bread brigade. Good for business the day before, but then you lose the day of the storm. Maybe it will poop out and not dump so much snow as they are saying.

Yes, you guys down south will be swamped again.

38 and the sun trying to come out. Most of our snow has melted.
