Well up here in Iowa we received almost 60 degrees yesterday only to be informed to expect a blizzard later this week. I remember last year we had a freak snow storm in May but the year before we had a heat wave in April only to get a sneak cold freeze enough to kill the newly formed buds on the trees and plants. Nothing like keeping up in suspense on what to expect when we wake up each morning.

I'm 60 miles north of you and nearly turned on the ceiling fan last night, but the wind is so brisk this a.m. that it is too cool to be comfortable this a.m. froggyintexas

Same here in north Georgia...the past few weeks we've had more than our share of ice and snow but today it's in the 70s...love it!

Everybody keeps talking about the weather and nobody's doing anything about it!

It's been 80-ish several days in a row here, and the low tonight is predicted to be 64. That's like a summer night where I grew up in Kansas. But we had what's called a "bad winter". Had to cover the tropical plants in our yard several times. If you don't live in a climate like this (zone 8), you may be surprised to know that putting a thin old bed sheet over a tender plant will help a lot to keep the frost off it when the temperatures go only a little below freezing for a few hours. I was skeptical about that when we first moved here, but it definitely helps. We'll be getting some more 40-ish nights before winter is over, but another freeze is officially unlikely after Valentine's Day.
