Where's everyone

I just heard that its only goin' be maybe 2 to 3 inches in lower SE part....
And by the way I'm back here at dave's, was gone for few years and had some changes..

Yep heard the news tonight and we are in for it... Still not sure what we're gonna get, Ice snaoe rain, maybe all three :( geesh.... But the bright side of it all is SPRING is gonna be here SOON I HOPE :)

11 o'clock weather report here said we are getting some of everything. Rain...sleet....snow

welcome back TomK...hehehe Nice to have you back...among...the Michigan club..ahaha...weather..oh my ..hopeing for going south...for sure..smiles..good night all..

kkkkk smiles..again..wowow...smiling..right..Diana

Where is everyone today? Blown away? We've had gale force winds here today...just non stop!! DH went out and bought a couple of cord of wood in case the power goes kaput. Expecting sleet, rain, and snow (then maybe spring!!)

Good Morning everyone from AuGres/Tawas area.........

Almost 10 am and still no snow.....maybe we are gonna get lucky and its gonna stay to the south of us. We do however, have some pretty strong winds here....I was talking with a friend who lives 60 miles south of me in Saginaw, and they are getting it as I type here....keeping fingers crossed its gonna stay south of us here.....Heard on CNN news that the storm was weakening as it was traveling east.......

Raining here now, but supposed to turn to snow later. Our sidewalks are ice covered. The roads aren't too bad though, guess they got out early enough with the salt trucks.

we have snow and freezing pellets-they have downsized us from 7in to 3in-less to melt!!!!!!
im waiting for spring and this storm can blow right on out of here!!

stay warm!

hay I have that much already So I think it can stop now!!!!! G.

sleety, rainy mess here. Haven't been out on the roads to see what's happening there, but from the way people are driving, but must not be slippery!!

My cat grass all sprouted, but my daylily pots look fuzzy...not a good sign...sigh

Snowing and blowing here, started about 1 this afternoon, and we have about 3 inches on the ground. The wind is blowing about 20 miles per hour with gusts of 35..
A good day to stay in .. Spring is just around the corner!!! Stay Safe!! Aleta

Snow then Sleet then Rain then Snow..... Was up at 5:30 this morning to shovel snow at church..... Anybody started seeds in doors yet?

i have daylilies started and will be doing tomaros and peppers in the next couple weeks!

welcome back Tom :)

Dori, I started some in the house, don't have lights so put them in my baywindow. I took your advice and put some of the messenger on them and just with in one day seen amazing difference, in just 3 days they have really grown.

many schools delayed here today...heavy snow then rain = icy roads!! I'm going out in a bit - IF I can get out of the driveway (DH didn't plow)

pepsi- good looking sprouts there...mine are still sitting there looking unhappy.

I finally got a round to taking several pictures.
Oh, an I counted my seedlings ... 41 surviving so far. Yikes, I was only going to plant 8 seeds.

Here is a picture of my basement set up.
When we were dividing the basement I asked hubby to build a counter so I could have a seed starting area. We ended up using this counter as a divide between the pantry, misc. space and the exercise space. Under the counter we have storage .... no not my seed starting stuff.
He tiled the top, turned out nice and is easy to clean. He also built the pvc tubing light set up. Easy to use.
I can fit approx 8 of the larger black starter trays under the lights, and a few smaller pots on the sides.

He brought the counter out to one of the basement poles, covered the pole to the ceiling.

Ok, one last picture of the basement.
I had a Dahlia tuber begin to grow, so had to put that under the lights for a while too.

Let us travel back to Febuary 21st. It had been a warmer night and the snow had begun to melt. We had fog. Then it began to get cold again. I loved the description used by the news, "Freezing Fog".
I ran out and took pictures of what "Freezing Fog" looked like.
It looked best on my Birch Tree.

Close up of the 'Freezing Fog'.
It is 'Jack Frost' on the branches instead of your window. :o)

i luv freezing fog!! oh and your grow area and plants look wonderful! :)

smoke bush-fogged!! lol

Here is where I start all my plants. It is only 8x10,but suits me just fine..I also am trying some wintersowing this year.
We will be able to grow year round,now that it has the better heater and the wood furnace is heating it ,too. On the coldest nights it was set at 55 and it stayed 50 at 12 below. We are going to put another wall on the inside this summer. It is only a single wall of suntuff. So it will be much easier to heat.
We have about 6 inches on the ground and it is still snowing.. Aleta

Dori, your 'fogged' plants are sooooo much 'foggier' than mine! Great pictures!
You HAVE to save me some seeds from your smoke bush. I tried once to start them from seed, but that didn't work. I would love to try again ... so if you get seeds this year, let me know and I will send a sasbe.

Aleta, I love your green house. Perfect size. We aren't going to put a greenhouse on this suburban lot ... just not a good place to put it now that we have the sunroom and the shed and my gardens. But sooner or later, we will have to have the windows replaced in this house and I told hubby we will be saving those windows for later (years, I'm talking about) when we move and retire and we build a small green house for me.

Here is a picture of my Bengal cat - Ahi, the bad cat- as he is known in my home.
When he wants back in the house, he jumps up on the grill and looks in the kitchen window and meows when we walk by.

Here is Ahi all save and warm inside.

Here is Candy cat - my pretty girl. She stays inside.
Sorry, it is hard to see her in this picture and I even lightened it up some. She is all black and furry.
Ahi loves to be mean to her. He is such a 'bad boy'.

Dori, you need to post those 'freezing fog' pictures on the on the Cottage Garden forum. Show those 'warm climate' people what they are missing! LOL
They miss out on so much beauty.
They are pictures of you 'Ever Changing Garden' after all. :o)
It seems funny to me that Wallaby never comments on any of 'our' gardens.
toofew~

the weatherman is saying blah blah blah more snow blah blah blah!!!
I say MELT dog gone it! The boys sure were hoping for a snowday! lol
I cant wait till spring break! im really tired of skool and i dont even have to go!
Last night we had the popo down the road-another car had went in the ditch
I have no idea why they slid off the road-sure it was slick but only 1-2in of snow!

I guess i should stroll out to the mailbox and see what i got
Yesterday i got my VDay present i ordered me-a autographed willie horton picture and
34 magglio ordonez baseball cards-yahooooooooo!

Hope your days are filled with FUN and warmth!!!

Hi Tom, my sentiments exactly, but not going to let this weather get me down :o) Went shopping yesterday and today, and got a few things to put in the new garden beds I will be putting in SOON lol

Here's a pic of the things I got minus the 6 hanging baskets that are in the garage...
The umbrella, my dh bought me :o)

Connie

Oooooooooooo.....I want that umbrella!!!!

MsKatt, it was 19.97 at craft 2000, I have been keeping my eye on it and the tricycle for months. They have a few other things I got my eye on too... May have to go back and get them lol

The gnomes and pots came from Big Lots...

Well I am off, gonna get comfy and watch the tube...

Have a good night one and all.

Connie

pepsi, what is craft2000? Is that like a hobby lobby?

Looking at my radar (at work) it looks like a sloppy mess headed toward us. I can hardly wait. >:(

It's like Michaels,

Holey moley....you should hear the wind!! Sounds like the roof is going to be flying off - sure hope the greenhouse stays planted! Our east windows/doors are ice covered so I can't even see what's happening outside (but it's dark out anyhow). Many schools are delaying or closing....again...

I have candles/flashlights etc all set...I need to go in the car trunk and snag my last 2 liter of diet coke!! I always keep a spare one hidden there - just for me!

Hang on sloopie!!

Good Morning Happy first day of march
Hey Sarv, same here on the weather, raining those little ice balls here. The wind woke me up out of a very sound sleep, thought my bedroom window was gonna blow right out. Guess its suppose to do this all day. Traffic on telegraph is moving normal as ever tho, so the salt trucks must have been out already.

You all have a great day :o)

Connie

Spring is here...it's thundering and lightning out!
