Here we go again. Hopefully the tornado siren doesn't wake me in the middle of the night again. So we have had 3 tornado sirens the last 5 mos, and they always happen between 2-4 am. Fun.
It seemed much colder due to the prolonged extreme cold days we had. But throw in the way above normal days we had too, and it only wound up being just a touch below normal. Definitely an odd winter for sure.
Fortunately, we didn't have any tornado warnings last night. But man that wind and rain was intense! Picked up 1.4 inches of rain, gusts last night hit 45mph, with sustained winds of around 25 to 30mph most of the night and early this morning. Much calmer this morning.
Wow, hard freeze for you? Gonna dip down to 31 in my location for an hour tomorrow morning. After that, looks like we probably don't get below freezing again until end of year
I have greenish Bermuda on the side of the house that gets sun all day. I also see my daylilies starting to pop out of the ground. That extremely warm last week of Jan, and 1st week of Feb really cranked up the ground temps. With a low of 17 this morning, ground temps back down to 38.
Is anyone sick of winter yet? I understand being snow starved, but the cold, and overcast days this year seem to be more than normal, and are depressing to me. I am ready for hopefully a nice spring.
I will admit to being THE MOST negative here with IMBY winter is over. And yes, for me it still is, other than it being cold this next week. Further north of me though, looks snowy, although a bit iffy at this point.
