Another freezing night here--will it ever end?

Abnshrek

I'm in the same boat almost.. one more day and I hope I'm out of the woods on the night freezes.. Might have to worry about frost, but a tad bit better than a solid freeze.. :^)

Take this as an omen. While I still have snow on parts of my lawn, the fish in my pond have stopped their winter sleep and are (slowly) swimming around.

When I try to complain about our weather to my son ( in Maryland)--he laughs at me. Here is a picture from his back yard last week.

You are right Patty--I found the picture on the internet. I guess he got me with that one! I am tired of this cold--we should be having 60s and 70 for highs--we have not gotten up to our average high but a couple times in the last month.

Back in Sept., whoever forecasted the El Nino effect was right on. Warmer than usuall winter around here, & cold & rainy in the SE. We didn't even get much snow - well, not like usual.

El Nino is a pretty dominant climate driver, especially when it is strong like this one. This one is still getting stronger, the current temperature difference in the Pacific Ocean where they measure is 1.8 degrees C. They are predicting it will weaken by summer, but it can last for years.

I just hope that what I read about this being a different kind that does not protect us from hurricanes is wrong--I would much rather have a cold winter than a hurricane.

Well a cold winter helps...not having a good one.. It's going to take a good portion of the summer to warm the gulf back up to where it feeds the hurricane.. If the jet streams all go back to normal? I guess we could all use some rain :^) (All day long today)

Its starting to feel like spring in St Louis. It was 68F yesterday. Temps in the 50s and 60s for the 10day extended forcast. I uncovered my windmill palms. I am thinking about uncovering my bananas but I know its probably too early.

Almost as warm as we are--but it was very nice here too-- in the mid 60s. I'm hoping the worst is behind us!

Abnshrek

With all this crazy weather and below normal temps I surely hope so!!! Our low in the 10-day forecast is 40 on Saturday... I think that's to close to a frost point for me... What's up with us having a real spring.. We never get that.. Normal it goes from cool to hot....to funny.. Patience is a good friend these days... lol Of course it decided to rain all day good thing I had time to remedy the plants before it started :^)

I was planting some figs and suddenly a storm came through in a dramatic fashion. There is a tall row of eucalytpus trees along the western edge of my property (planted a hundred years ago as a wind break) and they started making a lot of noise because of wind/rain/hail so I grabbed my stuff and headed for my pickup but still got pretty wet before getting inside. About 15 minutes later the sun was out and I went back and finished planting my figs.
