Today's Weather in Your Garden - 63

hope you are ok Patti

OUCH! Take it easy tonight.

We're in a band that's to get a mix, but mostly rain, ICK - on top of what we have on the ground. Not liking that. I'd rather have snow instead of rain tonight. Maybe 1-2" We'll see what happens.

Keep that leg elevated and iced Patti! Similar to what happened to me in Oct., and I am still limping around! Hope you fare better!

Oh boy. Sorry to hear, Patti. Keep icing it. Will hurt tonight and tomorrow.

Thanks, Allison.

And have the heardstone painted so you see it. Hope your leg heals soon.

Thanks all, I am laying down with it iced, but of course I didn't do it right away and now I have a big bump, plus I skinned a big spot raw. But it is my back that really hurts and my arm which I must have landed on. Dumb.

It is such a pretty day outside, that I hate to miss being outside. I bought my self a nice valentine gift yesterday, a twelve foot fiskars pole lopper with a saw blade. But now I will not be able to use it until Weds. Dang. I will report how I like it. It is very light with a rotating head and no ropes. But we shall see if it was worth 85.00.

It is 37* out now with a few light clouds. Here is a cheery picture from today. Snowdrops(Galanthus) are starting the bulb season off. Patti

I've seen that. Looking forward to your review! Feel better. Maybe you can use to reach the freezer for an ice bag??

It just started snowing here, we're supposed to get 4"s. Had the grand-babies today ages 15 & 24 months, Holly just left to return them to daughter after work, and take her dad to a Dr's appointment. I'm supposed to meet her at 6 for gym and dinner, I'm not sure I'm going out with the snow and all. I think I'll run down to the barn for another bucket of coal and take a nap instead, playing on the floor all day wears me out! LOL Ric

In case you did not hear/read this over the weekend, the top UK climatologist, who headed up the organization that was the primary 'keeper of the data' that much of the global warming / climate change screamers based their arguments on, admitted that there has been essentially no warming for the past 15 years! This is on top of all the other scandals coming out of that place. Amazing.

I didn't hear that Victor... amazing isn't it???

just started snowing not long ago

Our local meteorologist, who is something of a celebrity, says that he gets very frustrated when everybody blames everything on global warming when he says it's actually part of a documented cycle.

That having been said, when I was a kid it always got down into the -40's. I've been told that the winters there are much warmer. And ice bergs that used to come right out into the sound, where the ferries and tour ships could see them, are miles into the distance. Something's changing . .

Whether it's global warming or not there's nothing wrong in not messing up the atmosphere for the sake of increased monetary profit. and there's nothing wrong in finding alternative fuel sources as quickly as possible in view of the present and likely future political/military climate.
In any event the world will be inherited by the youth, not by us, they will suffer the economic, political and environmental consequences whatever they may be...
(just my humble opinion ☺)

26° and snow is in the forecast.

I agree, but those are separate issues, though related.

I've spent a tidy sum converting to solar and a pellet stove, but bogus is bogus, and forcing draconian measures down our throat that might well finish us off economically borders on the criminal in my mind. How much worse would this recession be if we had adopted the measures that were being called for???

Well it's a good thing I don't have kids cause I'd hate to gamble with their future for the sake of the almighty dollar...

I don't follow. What's being gambled?? And for whose dollar? Do you believe the measures that were being called for were for the good of humanity?!! It was for the Chinese, the Indians, Europeans and the rest of the world to gain by our loss.

Well the problem is global warming means just that, 'global'. Everyone is affected politically, economically, militarily. To 'gamble' would mean to dismiss what many respected scientists have warned us about. As was true a few thousand years ago when confucious made his point, roughly translated:~ 'If for every one I can find that will agree with me you can find one that can disagree and for every 500, you can find 500 and for every 1000 you can find 1000 where would we be? -but at the same point we that we started in the first place??
(lol!)

I still think no matter what we do... it's all a part of evolution... we can't stop it.. ask the dinosaurs

I'll be happy with that! (Many respected scientists disagree with this alarmism.)

The exact same arguments that are being used were used only decades ago by respected scientists - warning of cooling!

We should certainly get away from dependence on petroleum that makes us slaves to countries that hate us. That's a no-brainer. And I'm doing more than my share!

Back to the current weather - 32, no snow yet. ^_^

I seem to be a show stopper in every forum.. maybe I should log off

Hee hee! No, you're good. We're just 'self-policing', right, WC!

Yes... and look where the dinosaurs ended up - as oil! lol!

33°, no snow - yet ☺

Hee hee! I'll say thanks next time I fill up! T-Rex unleaded??

exactly!!!... LOL

Is it cheaper?? probably not, - like ice-cream w/o preservatives! lol!

Snow started at 7pm just like they said it would.

how much you supposed to get Jen?

3-4"

not enough for work to close

:(

30 now.. only going to 32... we got a couple of inches so far.. looks real fluffy

Very light snow here. Just enough so far to cover the ground, temp 27. Light NE wind. Predicted 2-4 inches with some rain and sleet mixing in throughout the day. Further north should get more snow from this one which should make Bill happy and the skiers.

Snow has not started yet. I wonder if it is further west, cause we were supposted to be in the 2-4" range.

Snowing very hard right now. Not much wind. I think it's moving from south to north.

We are north of you, so I guess the snow is till to come, just moving more slowly than predicted. Temp 30°

Wind from the ENE at 8 MPH
Visibility 5 miles
Sky conditions overcast
Weather Light Rain/Mist
Precipitation last hour 0.02 inches
Temperature 37.0 F

OR Just ICKY! Patti

30 now. Just had a dusting with some ice on top. However, about an hour ago it started snowing and still at it.

32°, windchill 20°, wind NE 9mph, cloudy

Got about an inch of wet snow so far, roads covered with 3” of ‘icy-slush’, supposed to get up to a couple of more inches this late afternoon. - before it freezes overnight...

very light snow here - supposed to get 6-8 upgraded from 4-8 so maybe after the last miss we will get all that is predicted - hoping here

patti i hope you are feeling better today

The cold outside and warm inside dry weather is literally "Cracking" me up.

Guess what ! It's snowing !!!
