Good evening all. 50F this morning and breezy, cold front came through last night. Temps did come up to 63F, windy most of the day, and severe clear. Men's meeting this morning followed by a bike ride which was very windy then lunch. Wife and I relayed napped today then went and retrieved the pickup, $700 for BCM and 200 for transmission service and almost $50 for the government

. Then dinner in town with stepdaughter and wife

Really windy here, 45 mph gusts reported. I was going to take my dogs for a walk, but I saw the trees bending over, it was cold, I changed my mind. My boxer girl ran back to the house, waited at the door for me. She went in, jumped on her couch, wanted no part of a walk in the cold. Smart dog!&#55357;&#56374;

Would someone turn down the wind? Please?

Good morning. Wet 'n' windy here too. Not seen any lions, which is good news for the early March lambs

A neighbor showed me round some of their chickens. They concentrate on rare breeds that are sold to other breeders. The avian flue outbreak is not making their lives easy, nothing can go out in an open run. One of their specialties is the Lakenvelder, as they can produce very large birds and the young ones are "spotless", which it would seem is very desirable for poultry shows. It was very interesting, though certainly not on the scale of farmer2009.

39 high of 50 today very windy this morning but should calm down after lunch. A short return to winter low tonight of 24 high of 44 for tomorrow before 60s make their return. Lots of bulbs up forsythia blooming with the Bradford Pears making their annual white flower show. Early for us and surely the cold snap tonight will do it's damage

63 here today, high for today, temps dropping all day in clearing weather.
have no idea how much rain we got last night but heard the wild moaning of the dryer and kitchen
exhaust vents, wind was coming from an odd direction and I had a strange symphony going for a little while.

Temps tonight staying above freezing, but Friday morning not good here, down to 28, the sheets will come out on a few plants but orchards will have to fend for themselves. Not getting up at 4am to spray water on trees.

I think I might work on my mower deck renovation and do some metal cutting today. Or until I take the chipper off the tractor, I might go through the front woods, small parcel, and clear out some of the dead wood, some dead small standers, some junky trees that really need to get cleaned out to leave more room and light for the nicer trees.

44 out this AM. The storms that came through yesterday afternoon smashed this area pretty hard with just intense winds. Lots of trees down, my SO counted seven between the farm and the main road. Big road blocker types. She got caught out there and took two hours to get home from a 15 minute ride. I think the MCB at Quantico reported a 78 MPH gust. And the local news reported lots of houses damaged up north from us. Now, the temp is falling and we are expecting freezing weather the next few nights. Roller coaster temps look to be the order of the next few days.

Be safe all, have a great day.

Zero and going to a high of 18. 20 mph winds and there is 6" of snow to move.
I was always told 'never sell March short.' We can expect a mixed bag in March and lots of snow. She came in like a lamb as far as I can see. 6" of snow and hardly any wind although that might have changed after I went to bed. I cannot see any drifts here.
