All the ice went out on the ponds a couple of days ago. Now there's 4 to 5 inches of snow on the ground and more to come.

The front pond:


The back three:


How about you? This being lake effect enhanced I'm sure Esshup has more.

Wow, I'm sorry to see that, Cecil!

If it's any consolation, I'm guessing this time of year it won't last long? Or maybe you still have a ways to go with that weather?

I don't know and/or fully understand the lake effect stuff you deal with! I just I'm just glad it's there and not here, no offense intended grin

looks like the lows for the next few nights here are in 30's (35,37,39) here for three night in a row still in the 60's during the day though. This should be last of it. IM thinking of planting a few things in the garden after...low risk of a freeze after this weekend.

We got hammered with thunder snow here in St Louis....major power lines falling over interstates from the intense snow and winds. Air temps were 36, some areas got nothing while a couple miles away, 3-5" of slush in under an hour!

I would think you are a go now for onions, radishes, etc if you're planning to plant any.

Cold blustery day for us today. Looks like the snow will be just off to our east. Supposed to be colder and windier tomorrow. I had some scuds ordered that weren't supposed to come until tomorrow but came today. I was very happy to be able to get them into the pond before it gets too bad.

Cecil,

Bob O just sent me this pic to post for him on this thread..... Looks like you are in the clear to go ahead and stock the 250 BH at his place tonight. Please check on the 200 goldfish I stocked a couple months ago while you're there! grin

Thanks for the kind words but it's not a big deal. Way too early to get one's hopes up about real spring weather but it's amazing how many people do year after year.

Fortunately I like a little snow to make things interesting now and then.

CMM, do not get sucked into the punks trap to recruit help in bushwhackin an ol boy all kicked back on the beach. Also if ya check out the tan you'll understand why the little senoritas workin the taco stand always pamper me(free hot sauce + extra cheese). Join the dark side Luke!

I get more giggles from some of these posts than I should. Thanks everyone for keeping it both fun AND extremely informative. I now know where BobO is so I can avoid the scenery. Lol

Well the girls at the taco stand don't have prune textured skin and their teeth stay in when they LOL.

Looks lke this coming week will be a carbon copy of last week. Windy and mild, then temps drop and snow accumulation again. Rinse, repeat.
Posted By: Bob-O Re: Winter's Back! - 02/28/16 09:53 PM
Did you guys hit 60 today? In is known for odd weather but this yr has been very odd. The high down here yesterday was 62.
Posted By: esshup Re: Winter's Back! - 02/28/16 09:54 PM
65°F here now Bob. Winds averaging 20-25, with gusts approaching 40.
Posted By: Bob-O Re: Winter's Back! - 02/28/16 09:56 PM
Bet ya have snow for Easter.

Same for us. 62 today. Had some left over onion sets still in the fridge from last year so planted them in the garden. Should have some sweet early green onions this year! smile

Tomorrow night 70% chance of snow and slight chance the rest of the week. Highs in the low 30s after tomorrow. frown

Got to 46 today here or 8C.

Really hope Florida is nice the week of the 4th -11th. Seven golf courses in seven days. Woot woot.

Hains city and lake land area.

Looks like March is coming in like a lion for us. Winter storm warning for tonight. Freezing rain, high wind, sleet and then several inches of snow. Good news is forecast for next week is back in the 60s smile.

The oaks are budding here and the bass are on the nests on local lakes.

Spring peepers are singing loudly tonight.

Really that is great. Here the old boys say if the peepers get frozen down three times then is safe to plant corn.
