Heat Wave

17 years ago

Yesterday was the first time since New Year's that we've had temps above freezing and I must admit it definitely felt warmer. Today we had temps in the upper 40's and you would have thought it was summer. I was finally able to open all the windows and let some fresh air in. I even took Kyle to the park and didn't wear a coat. There were people walking around outside in shorts! It's pretty sad when the upper 40's feels warm. lol I usually hibernate when the temps go below 55-60. It really was a nice day though and it was fun to be able to go outside and actually enjoy it. It's too bad that the temps are supposed to drop back down again over the weekend.

Yeahhhh it Friday. All my stuff has been blooming. Weird winter here. It is 68 right now. 2 days ago it got up to 78 with a humidity of 14 then dropped to 36 at night. It was beautiful with low humidity for a day. My plants hated it.

I believe it was last year the northeast had hardly any snow. This year you got hammered. We are in a severe drought here no rain for almost 3 months. I cannot ever remember having to run irrigation everyday in the winter.

Karyn, I'm glad you had a wonderfully warm day.

We had a great week. We went from -41 deg F as a low one day to 43 deg F as a high the next day and has been in the 30's all week. I saw the SUN....it was an exciting momentous week to have that beautiful sun warm everything up. My plants in the greenhouse and seedlings are LOVING this beautiful weather.

For those of you who read my distressed email about my seeds not sprouting and thinking I killed them with my accidental spraying of rubbing alcohol, bleach and detergent. WELL...they are sprouting to beat the band. Just wanted to let everyone know in case it happened to any of you. yeah right!

Jeep, you are right, we did not have any snow last year and have 63" on the ground right now. It's wonderful. I hope it melts slowly so that the moisture is retained in the gardens rather than running down to a low spot only to create a slough filled with water.

Hope everyone stays warm.

Went from 85 yesterday to 40 today. Poor plants don't know what to do. I had some daylillies that had bacterial rot and stunk worse than anything I ever smelled in my life and I barfed the rest of the day after trying to save them and thats all I could do and been back in bed. John went and bought me a parka so I would go fishing with him tomorrow but its just not a good idea to be in a rocking boat with a rocking head. I have had about enough of this crud and wish it would go away. I think we are passing it back and forth to each other. Come on normal weather. These huge weather swings are about to do me in. Time for the nyquil again. Night.
