Not horrible having zone 6b as some of the coldest all winter when our growing zone is 5b. Climate change.

Good. This cold is horrible.

Baroclinic zone moves to Canada. Ride the torch.

Almost up by me.

Warmer would be even better.

Nice

Probably continue to torch. Ride the trend.

I love it. .

10 of the top 16 warmest starts to winter in Milwaukee have occurred since 2001…

Maybe some mood flakes for saukville.

I have someone on the inside. Hahahahah. Anyway, joking aside…. Zzzzzzzzz

Hoping for a Feb torch to remember. Overcast and 30s gets old after awhile.

Lawns are legit turning back green in some areas up by me.

Probably another rainer for me. Ride the trend. Zzzzzz

Let’s start calling this “thread the needle of how long I can keep my yard bare in January.”

That’s a good thing.

Rained overnight. Ready for spring.

Love -RA.

You get events they perform with almost no support this time of year but come spring and summer and you can have the best setup ever and nothing happens. Ugh.

Ground is 100% frost free -- I know that.

Our avg high for the month has now pushed above 40. That 49/40 yesterday is crazy. And only one below freezing high all month. Two days of T snow cover! This is going to be hard to come back from this winter -- sun angle is only increasing rapidly from here. How are you going to cool/freeze the ground enough at this point? Unfrozen, bare ground will soak up solar energy much easier as the days continue to get longer.

calling it -- rain for me.

Someone needs to do MKE. I have no idea where to look this stuff up.

Only palm tree threads. Or maybe severe threads.

Palm tree weather continues. Getting pretty crazy at this point. I was kinda joking about this back in Early January and now it’s like what the heck is going on. Just put the shovel in the ground and can dig anywhere I want.
