Like Lake Klamash in Oregon, no?

I've never examined the geology of Upper Klamath Lake, but the current terrain and the past vulcanism are suspicious. However, there are relics in the Great Basin and regions to the south, left over from an epoch of much wetter climate.

I keep watching the 10 day forecast, hoping to be able to uncover soon. I'll see a couple of days where we're to get into the 60's during the day, but then along will come another one where we go back to the low 30's at night. Take a look at what it says for April 10 and 11!

Quite a swing there John! Those lows down to -74 may even damage your basjoo!

Richard · 04-05-2009, 09:58 PM

Now you understand the meaning of April Fool's day for farmers.

lorax · 04-06-2009, 01:08 AM

Actually, the April Fool comes from a Medieval festival where the village fool was elected king for a day. Traditionally it was held somewhere in the month of April (depending on weather in the specific villages where it was celebrated), but it got formalized around the time of Queen Elizabeth I.

After reading this I was thinking "Poor Pete" and especially as he's down in La., then tonight we get a freeze forecast too! Guess who was out in the dark covering everything back up.

Richard · 04-10-2009, 12:53 PM

Oh my goodness, it is raining right here in San Diego, California. Somewhere, Albert Hammond is smiling!

Patty in Wisc · 04-10-2009, 01:09 PM

We have frost these last few nights. Temps now are 36* & this will be the high today!!! I'M SICK OF THIS CRAP!
Wow John, that's quite extreme temps!
O M'gosh, my neighbors tree just fell over in his yard! Must be from the winds & that I think it was dead.

Chironex · 04-10-2009, 02:41 PM

God's country.

just j · 04-10-2009, 08:07 PM

we need rain here bad and it needs to warm up at night so i dont have to drag all my plants inside ever day

paula · 04-11-2009, 07:49 AM

Saltydog ,just noticed that you are not to far form me. I am in NJ.
Have you put your bananas out yet? And if so .Can I put mine out?
I usually put them out after Mothers Day. The kids are home all week.
I really could use there help ( had surgery on my arm ) Two teen aged boys
14 and 16 they could get a lot of plants planted in a week. What do you
think? Thanks Paula

Bob · 04-11-2009, 09:27 AM

Paula, I'd wait till later in the month. I'm in north Jersey and plan on moving my plants to a cheap plastic greenhouse that I can heat overnight if necessary maybe next weekend. Then depending on weather in the ground beginning of May. If you're in south Jersey you can push that up a bit.

Oh and can I borrow your kids beggining of May!

lorax · 04-11-2009, 09:39 AM

Sunny and 32C, Halleleujah! We've been getting too much rain lately.

paula · 04-11-2009, 09:59 AM

Thanks Bob,
And sure you can borrow the kids. You know how kids love to work!

Patty in Wisc · 04-11-2009, 03:54 PM

J, you have plants outside in day??!! It's only at high of 35 here even w/ sun out!
Paula, we are going to get some neighbor kids to help with raking up stones & debri in future garden at my fiance' house. A good week for it as they have no school & will be looking for something to do LOL.

saltydad · 04-11-2009, 04:00 PM

Paula, as already expressed, I would wait until at least the end of the month. When I lived in NY we used Mothers Day as the unofficial start of the planting season.

Caloosamusa · 04-14-2009, 09:36 PM

I finally have something worth adding to this thread. It has been raining for the last few hours. The thunderstorms are subsiding but this is our DRY time of season. This rain is very welcome, and tomorrows low is predicted to be 67F, with a high of 83F with lower humidity after frontal passage.

Today the front was predicted to break up as it usually does this time of year and give us no rain. The meteorologists were wrong Thank God!!!

Chironex · 04-15-2009, 12:17 AM

We have some freaking high winds again. It's like clockwork. Whenever my Belle puts out a huge new leaf, the winds kick up and promptly tear the crap out of it. ^$#&@$^@#^^^!@
