Got another 4" or so last night. The wind is crazy today, gusts up to 30 mph. Have some serious snowdrifts out there. Temp is dropping, supposed to be a sub-zero high tomorrow. Warming up into the 30s by the end of the week though…nice
Rain all day, changing to snow now.
Staying inside in the warm and dry
snowing hard w/ 30mph winds! went smelt fishing for the 1st time at my ice shack at 430 this morning . was back by 630 with my gallon limit . going to fry them up for supper. by far my favorite fresh water fish to eat!
-17 this morning. Supposed to be the last cold day for awhile though.
About an inch of snow here…areas not far south had over 6 inches…

Wow.
We hit 81 in Tifton, GA. This doesn’t help my apples and pears that still haven’t dropped their leaves.
My apple trees look like they are ready to break bud and still haven’t dropped their leaves.

I have carrots in the ground about ready to pick. My trees seem to all be trying to decide whether to go dormant or bud. I was about to go about pruning but am concerned to do it now. It appears it will cool here in a few weeks. I’m thinking I will then.
Wettest year on record for: Wilmington DE/NC, Pittsburgh, Reading, York, State College, Scranton, Baltimore, Louisville, Lexington, Atlantic City, Columbus, Raleigh, Asheville, Boone, DC, New Bern, Elizabeth City, Roanoke, Wheeling, Charleston, Danville, Lynchburg, Greensboro, Elimira, Green Bay, Sioux Falls, Mason City, Waterloo…
Hopefully it drowned some pests.
Definitely feelin’ it. Got 1 large and 2 small dehumidifiers for the house. I had to keep the windows shut even when it was nice due the moisture this year. Never had so much mildew show up - would not have been so bad w/o air-conditioning b/c moisture condensed on the cool surfaces which created the mildew. Did lots more laundry and house cleaning to keep up with it. We usually have abundant moisture but this year was kinda over the top. Each year has it challenges that we are not prepared for, but hopefully now we’ll stay a little drier on the inside, at least.
Pests sure aren’t going to freeze
Thermometer has been pegged at 24F all day. This is our second episode of freezing fog in the last week. Pictures don’t quite capture the full effect. A steady east wind built up the ice crystals all on one side of objects,
The next to last picture is my pecan tree. It’s about 40ft tall and still has about 100 lbs of pecans hanging in the tree. Can’t see them for the frost.
Very pretty Steve. We are in the 40s for the next week or so. I have a feeling it is going to be an early Spring with some late Frost.
