Today's Weather in Your Garden - 8

Snow today. One to three inches. Very white and pretty cause I'm not driving in it. We are celebrating Xmas today. Grandkids, my kids, and a pancake and sausage brunch. Almost time for a nap!

Little more light snow here. Not too bad today though,30 and sunny.

Last night

Snow, sleet, freezing rain....just a lovely mix!!

Very light drizzle and 37.

Have you had snow yet Pirl?

A little bit a few weeks ago but it was gone the next day. I'm sure we'll still get more in January...through March, though for the last winter season we only needed the plow twice.

Twice! Now thats awful. We had an account that had a heated driveway and never had to plow - you better think about it.LOL

How was it heated? Coils under the blacktop?

Coils in the gravel base under bricks.

Wow, that must cost a bit to install and operate.

If you have to ask - you can't afford it.LOL

Don't laugh! I priced it and to do the whole driveway, as of two years ago, was $30,000. and that, of course, doesn't include the electricity used during the snow storms.

When I worked at a real estate office there was a woman who had the driveway and all of her walks electrified so she'd never have the snow problem but that was eons ago.

Wow! How big is your driveway, Pirl?

About 20' wide but I don't know the length. It's wider at the garage entrance and down to the street.

Is that life size?
I could plow that - you don't care about your grass do you ;)

I don't - he does.

The front piece would be ideal for roses, Japanese irises and daylilies.

Very nice! Which one of you climbed the tree?

We don't do tree climbing. Every so often a plane comes over and photographs all the homes in the area and then they drive up with the prints. We have them covering about the last 33 years.

Really?! I would love that. I have a grainy satellite photo of mine.

Google your home and take a digital photo of the screen, then crop and voila!

With these temps I want snow!!!

Pirl - talked to my Dad last night (he's in upstate NY) and it was warmer there then here! We got to 45 yesterday in the "warm spots!"

Funny! Tomorrow we're due to have 52 - not bad for December.

It's mid-morning and it's 31° outside! Whoohoo!!

Yesterday we had a slight falling of sleet and then snow. I was driving back from visiting my newest grandson at the hospital and laughed and laughed when I saw a shiny silver beamer that had slid off the road. No. No one was hurt or injured. I just thought it was funny that I was perfectly safe in my beat-up '96 Buick station wagon, and there's this brand-new beamer that obviously couldn't handle New England!!

So, the forecast for today:
31° now

Yes, it's ending the year on a great note!

More snow here yesterday.

My daughter took some pics - this is one.

It's 45 and sunny right now at 1:00. The rain during the night washed down more snow.
Becky, 10, and I have had fever colds since Christmas. Hers spiked at 101.4 and I've been running 99.1. These are higher temps for us because our norm is 97.3. She has a stuffy nose and sore throat. I've just got that "woozy" head, and tired.

Al - your daughter is doing a nice job of following in your photo footsteps! Nice shot!

Sue - I left New England with the same kind of virus you are describing.....ugh! This is the first time I've been sick since we retired a bit over a year ago. My DH very kindly did some grocery shopping for us (empty fridge after being away 10 days) and has marked the kitchen at supper time off limits for me. Yay........I love it when he cooks!! LOL You know I'm feeling rough when I almost passed on our morning walk.....glad I did it....it felt so good to get back in the groove! Catching up here on DG is a good way to pass the time!!

Today here it is 79 degrees in my garden. Most of my plants, the new living fence shrubs and my big pots of veggies are doing just great, thanks to the efforts of my wonderful neighbors here! BUT - my cukes have some sort of unfamiliar pest going to town on the leaves, which are covered with some gross dark green little eggs. eeeeuuuuuwww. The plant still has tons of flowers on it, but I have to do some research on the bugfiles to see what this interloper is and how to obliterate it! On a happy note, my green beans are loaded and ready to pick.....tomorrow. I also have a large pepper on my Big Bertha pepper plant, but the leaves are shriveling up. More research needed.

Not a bad day today! DH was able to get the driveway scraped and cleaned off and ready for the next snow fall. We were supposed to get 3-5 inches last night but it didn't happen!! Eleanor

Still colder than Upstate NY here......no snow in sight.

( snivelling and feeling sorry for myself, I love snow (except the yellow kind...)

I think dogs are the only ones who find yellow snow fascinating. :-)

I sure hope so Pirl!

It's that old "Who's the new guy in town?" theory that dogs seem to enjoy.

I don't know how they don't run out ;)

LOL!

They probably know how to dole out a certain portion for every stop they make and know enough to mark all the popular gathering places.
