Much different winter so far

9 years ago

Already had several snowfalls this season and much colder temps than last year. I remember sitting on our front porch last Christmas Eve enjoying 65 degree temps. We could hit zero tonight before we get past this recent round of tundra cold. More snow in the forecast so I'm sure we will definitely have a white christmas.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a healthy New Year. Gotta be ready for those garden chores come spring :) Will come back after the holidays are over.

    Not that cold here, but we are having lower than normal temps. Supposed to be about 50 for a hi for Christmas Eve & Day though, but rainy. Of course, that is a week away! I've seen a few stray snowflakes a couple of times, but no real snowfall yet

    Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!

    Same here. Colder faster than the last few years. Hopefully we won't get frigid February, early March weather like the last two years.

    Looks like like the weather is much colder for all of us. It seems the snow will be around for awhile too. Hope the holidays are good for all. I had a few of my Stella's put up scapes in December, how weird, of course no blooms. This was also the first Christmas season I strung lights on leafed out shrubs, weird again.

    We just survived the past 2 days of sub-zero temps. Yesterday it was minus -15 degrees with the wind whipping. Temps were an astonishing minus -80 degrees atop our highest peak Mt. Washington with the wind chill. Today it is snowing. I actually prefer this to last Christmas when it was snow-less and 65 degrees. At least it looks festive now! And the daylilies have snow cover to protect them, which is always a blessing.

    We have gone from -17C to 5C in two days.

    Never have learned the conversion rate from C to F Edward (my bad), but anything with a minus in front of it has to be cold...... We were supposed to hit a low of 9F Saturday night,but it dipped even further down to 5F. Looks like the same thing tonight and maybe Monday night. Since 95% of my daylilies are in smallish pots that still had plenty of green foliage before this front came, I'm wondering how much damage this will do. AND here at least, winter still has a couple -three months left to go...........Maryl

    We've been up and down: extra cold [10 degrees] and extra warm [62 degrees]. The past 5 or 6 days have been extra cold except right in the middle of the cold Saturday was extra warm. This coming Sat. & Christmas will be extra warm again! You can tell we are right in the middle of where the Jet Stream wobbles up and down.

    Merry Christmas to all of youtoo!

    In NJ I think its a lot warmer than its zone states. 7a is supposed to be 0 degrees F at the minimum but so far this winter, nighttime temperatures never dropped below 25. I think my zones more like 9 or 10 lol

    Our temps are on a roller coaster, just like last year....unless February decides to be really cold, we won't have much winter....but it is the kind that is hard on plants...14 with still some ice from yesterday this morning, but supposed to be 70 again in three days! It gets cold in Alabama...it just doesn't stay cold.
