Wow, I can hardly believe the weather you are having. It sounds amazing (and a little scary). I wish I was there to see it!
Over here we have just had the hottest January ever recorded. The forecast for February to April is above average temperature and drier than average for almost the entire country:
The globe it is out of wack
34F now…feels tropical. That is +65F from the other morning…not a bad turn around.
Rapid City, SD has such an crazy climate… From t shirt to parka
Rapid City sits a little north in latitude as my city yet can have these incredible warm winter days …
Isn’t that great for all the agriculture out there? The stonefruit must be close to blooming in some areas?
Well with January in the bag, we had a pretty typical month;
Looking back, and looking at the next 10 day!
Today my daughter and two of her Girl Scout friends set up a booth outside of a local gas station to sell Girl Scout cookies. It was 17 degrees this morning when we were there. It was brutal to stand out in the cold selling cookies. Half way through they were so cold they started to cry and wanted to give up. Mothers decided to take turn and take each one of them inside to warm up for 5 minutes.
At the end came out of it alive and sold 24 boxes and $12 in donations.
Around here, every supermarket and local bank allow girl scouts to sell cookies inside. Never seen any girl scouts here are out in that weather here.
Most of the places we sell also allow us to sell at least between the doors, where the cart area usually is. This local Wawa is small and even after we asked to stay between the two sets of doors, they said it’ll be too crowded 
Now that’s some kinda funny there Richard. Im sitting on my tractor reading and loudly openly laughed out loud!
all 3 of my dogs want to do just that! they gave me that look since nov.! 
Mostly sunny and about 50 today, just about all the snow is gone, but now it’s Mudville around here again. Supposed to be in the 60s and sunny the next couple days, then more rain and cooler at the end of the week.
It was 70 degrees yesterday and 20 degrees two hours later. Kansas weather changes very quickly!
Melt underway
We had an amazing melt over the weekend…its been above freezing for close to 3 days now and most of that with temps stuck around 40F…snow went bye bye… big lakes of water all over.
Looks like a quick cold shot late week and then out by the weekend with a nice warmup. Extended looks normalish for Feb… NAEFS shows if you want hot weather, head to Florida, while western Canada/Pacific NW gets the brunt of the cold
I’ve already got outdoor nectarines blooming. It’s 9 weeks till last frost date. That’s what we get for having lots of chilling early in the winter season.
