In fairness to you and your efforts in autumn -- same thing happens to ME every year. I'll have every damn leaf picked up from every inch of front/back/side yards...and come Jan/Feb, there'll be small, wind-swirled piles of leaves all OVER every damn part of those yards. I'm sure it's from all the surrounding yards, because I'm PRETTY good about getting up all the leaves by mid-December.

mattie g Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I haven't been paying attention to the forecasts recently other than that it was supposed to get mild late this week, so I was shocked at how mild it was when I took the elder daughter to the bus stop this morning!

That would be pretty much unprecedented I would think if it were to be that late. A better one might be last day of 32 or lower. That typically happens here in early May.

But I’ll tell my partner it just blew over from the neighbors’ yard since you told me that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazzo83 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 First 80 of the year? I'm saying late March sometime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 First 80 of the year? I'm saying late March sometime.Seems reasonable since we hit 70 already on a powerful LP cutting west. The same storm a 4-5 weeks from now would give us 80 probably. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got up to 69 at the peak yesterday afternoon...I think that was a bust-high from the forecast. Needless to say, we lapped it up...did a long walk outside, and then found many reasons to be putzing around outside the house and in the yards just to BE outside. Wowzers, what a day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It’s over folks. Sun angle season. Even if we get a good storm it’s drip drip drip from the second the snow starts accumulating. Gimme all the 50s/60s/70s before it’s 92/72 every afternoon for 3 months.

I noticed this morning that the buds on my hydrangeas have started to get bigger/red in color over the last week. The 60s have definitely helped with the progression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 the temperatures the last few days have been truly majestic. we left 2 months on the table where we could have snowed (november and feb), so we had our chances. it's time to get this party moving to spring. not to say i won't accept another snowfall...i will...but spring is starting to vibe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
