Late-Week Storm to Usher in Cold Across East, Put Spring on Hold

This thread is just to let your frustration out for those who is with me on the north-east.

Peas are planned to go in the ground on April 7 - doesn't happen. Still about a foot of packed snow(I mean packed, more like ice) on the beds...

Trees should be sprayed month ago and pruned two weeks ago - doesn't happen. Simple reason - low branches still in the packed snow.

Onions - should be already on the deck hardening... Doesn't happen - poor creatures already loosing their patience...

And I generally love winter)

Agree but I just keep telling myself - Hey! It's better than it was in January. That helps a little. :)

Agree 2!! Fruit trees winter pruning couldn't be done yet! I can't open the gate to the orchard because of the snow. About 8-9 inches left last week and today we got another 4-5 inches on the first day of spring!! I can't jump my 8 feet fence either :p So no spraying & no pruning yet.

Weatherman said we are suppose to hit 50 degrees today. Instead, we're having snow! Not that snow that melts when it hits the ground either. It's sticking. The only green I've seen since December is the seedlings I started inside and the shamrock shake I got before St. Patrick's Day.

It's really depressing already. If someone else goes up on their high horse about "global warming," I'm going to bury them in a snowbank!

Possible record lows for tonight & tomorrow. Even the birds are like "What the heck?"

Yea, I heard a woodpecker started the song in the woods - first spring sing for me here... But chocked on it and didn't repeat). By that time they usually stop "singing"(Should I say knocking?) and start to take care of the nest...
