That's for sure. We've been having warm weather; got about an inch and a half of rain the last 3 days; just right for the garden which is all planted. The turnips and radishes are up for the second time (lost the first planting to a late freeze), plum trees in bloom, etc. . . . and now we're in for a freeze again tonight, so I guess I'll lose most of the tomato, pepper, cabbage, and cauliflower plants./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

25 degrees this morning and will probably have another night of the same tonight./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

We had an "Alberta clipper" come through yesterday afternoon. It was +5 C early yesterday afernoon. This morning it was -10 C with significant wind but no snow. It is supposed to warm up in another day or two.

2 degrees this morning with 30 knot winds. Brrrr! Even the dogs stayed in bed! Now that it's warmed up to 17 I have no excuse for not doing the chores. But that wind sure does cut right thru me! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Pete...

This morning the mailman came and delivered the mail and was bundled like up in the Arctic... and with a Russian fur hat...

I joked saying "it can't possibly be that cold..."... he said to look at the American flags on the mail truck with the heavy inds whipping away...

Yes... it's COLD.............. /w3tcompact/icons/cool.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bitter cold and windy here too. 8" of fresh snow covered the ground as of yesterday morn.

Well, gotta look at the bright side of things... At least there's no mud. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
