When I lived there we noticed that too, Kathleen!
It's May,
Those great big Northern hawks that come here for the winter are back. They look confused, but snow in the panhandle of Texas was too much. They think it's winter again. I wonder if they left any starving chicks in the nest.
If true, they have poor parenting skills like some humans. The snow in the panhandle didn't last long. Bad birds!
I think snow means winter for some of them so South they came.
:> If I had wings I would have left the Panhandle too!!! Wish I could go South! This weather is driving me nuts! My poor corn started coming up, glad it has a row cover. And is early corn.
Yeah, we got snow, more than the news admitted to.... 6 inches in 6 hours, all melted 6 hours later. It started out with heavy rain, then began to thunder, and by 3 AM the snow was coming down! I took a bunch of before and after pics, they are in the SFG thread in the Veg Forum, and the Come on Folks thread in the Tomato forum.
I need warm dry weather! But I am grateful that the peas, cabbage, broccoli, arugula and brussel sprouts are enjoying themselves. The rest of the plants have protection, but are Trois said, they aren't growing... but warmer weather SURELY awaits us next week, right? :-]
They promise 80 by sunday here, Fritch! Hi 52, lo 48, dp 46, .08" rain.
59 and cloudy. Supposed to rain, but I doubt it.
37 degrees, no wind. Gonna be a beautiful day if Pa. Have to go uncover the tomato plants.
36', bright sunshine with a few clouds.
DW says it rained from 4 til 4:30 this morning. The wood looks wet. It's not enough but better than a dust storm. I heard thunder a couple of minutes ago, in the distance.
It's 55 and partly cloudy. Carpet leaving mother's this morning. Big job here.
sidney
65.7°, 39%, tired and thinking bout going back to bed (Don't ya hate the middle of the work week?)
Lo 47, dp 47 0.25" rain. Retired Dyson. Don't no nuttin bout no work week no more! Was that a quadruple negative or what?
I got it!
quintuple John
hope the work is going smoothly sidney
I see the sun here! (between some non-rain clouds)
Right, if "nuttin" counts!
The rain amounted to less than a tenth. It hit 85 for a while, but is down to 81. Still cold nights. Nothing growing.
Hi 59, no more rain, overcast. Cool season weeds growing. Garden plants stalled.
Got to 55 today, nearly 100% humidity all day, deep fog set it now. The only place in the ocuntry colder than use is upstate NY and Maine!
But tomorrow, the sun will come out a little more, and we may hit 70!!!!! ROTFLMAO I will believe it when I see it.
But hopefully Mother Nature wil recall that next week is a good time (moon wise) to set out plants, so she will get this weather straightened out LOL
TF (nuttin' always counts...)
It hit 85 here yesterday afternoon and is down to 52 this morning. Our normal temperature swing is 10 to 15 degrees. These cold nights are great for sleeping, bad on plants.
53.8°, night all
45', overcast with drizzle.
Lo 53, dp 53, calm, 72 later, 80 tomorrow! Gonna dig and weed some.
Warm, but can't keep your cap on. Always this way after lots of cold.
Bernie
a little sun peeking out, maybe the ground can get a little less wet. Not sure of the current temp, but it AIN"T gonna make 70
60 here and overcast. AIN'T gonna make 72. No way.
Already 82 here. Dry, dry.
0.02" here. Whoopy-t-do!
71.4°, 51%, sunny, nice, have a good afternoon all.
Trace of rain today, not even enough to make a mess. 65F
88 right now. Dry as a bone.
I'll take 65F over 88F any day - ANY day. (Yes, that's right, I don't have a swimming pool. Believe it or not, not everyone in CA does.)
Dry enough to unload and stack lumber... sun still trying to shine. 64 dgrees right now, not getting to 72. Partly cloudy, thunderstorms tonight, low near 50 ( now that's a bit better)

Sorry, I posted in the wrong thread that I was watching.
I'll be derned. The sun came out, the wind is out of the south and brought some of Trois' hot air.
It is still out of the North here. Someone elses hot air.
Bad frost last night. 26 degrees. Warm, sunny and beautiful today. Getting tired of covering and uncovering the tomato plants each night. It is time for spring. Lilacs are blooming, oats are up and growing. All garden beds are ready - come on warm temps at night.
Yeah, come on warm night temps! Not too warm... I was out pulling weeds, and uncovering tomatos, and the bugs were acting like they needed to take cover. So after the 9:00 weather, I may be headed back outside to recover plants.... sigh....
