Big warm-up coming Mid-February

We got a two day mini warm up yesterday and today and we really, really needed it.

On top of hte two feet of snow on ground we had an ice storm on Tuesday last week, driveway was slippery but passable. THEN it rained all day Saturday and temps dropped overnight. Sunday morning was end of the world apocalypse-crawl on your hands and knees as soon as you leave the front door- ice everywhere.

There was nothing I could do about it besides let the sun work its magic...I already had plans to visit family so I just slid down the driveway and hoped for the best. Came back around dusk expecting to trudge through the 2feet of snow snow carrying two kids after getting stuck on the driveway but instead found two inches of slush! 40 and sunny!

What a relief! Had to remind myself that despite having a far worse than normal winter this season, they just arent that bad in CT.

i really wish those canadians would learn to keep the door closed!

O L F I will try to post a Thread " planting for Winter..bottom line keep things covered...you'll be amazed.

The local have what they call "mini-winters" . Four as I recall, one was the Dogwood Winter and another the blackberry flower winter. Don't recall the other three and one of the ones I gave may not be correct.

Essentially it is mild weather followed by a brief cold snap.

I'm in south central PA and starting Sunday we are warming up significantly. By mid-week I think we are having highs in the low 50s! At least according to Accuweather anyway.

I for one am ready for this snow to melt! The plows have pushed the snow so far up the sides of our driveway I can hardly see around or over them to back out. We have a lot of Amish here and their buggies can't get off to the side of the road like they usually do because of the plowed snow that just won't melt. Makes running errands a little more interesting (and time-consuming!).

I really hope it is going to warm up! I am ready for mud season...I mean spring!

Headed into the 40's throughout the next week, starting Friday. Overnight lows in the 20's.

I, too, am looking forward to M&M Season. (That's Mud and Manure...)

We are in the deep freeze again today...and school is closed....looking at eight degrees tonight....and colder tomorrow..hopefully will see a little warmth on Friday...Brrrrrrr..Come on Warm Up and git-r-done....

Love "M&M Season". That's exactly what it is here, too. And I am more than ready for it.

Boy, I hope you're correct also! I'm SO tired of high winds and freezing weather! Although fortunately we haven't had the snow here lately in Southern Idaho.

Dang. It just occurred to me that I'd better pray for moderation in the moderate temps, b/c I don't want the orchard to start blooming early.

Our weather lady keeps pushing back the date and lowering the temps of "the big warmup" First it was going to happen Wed. this week, and we'd have temps in the 40s by the weekend. well....

It's Thursday, we had -10 last night, and it's going to warm up to a whopping 2 today. Weekend IS going to be warmer. maybe 30ish.

ah well. It's almost March. I can last another couple of weeks.
