all the snow has melted and it has been raining.  it's not quite right to be this warm this time of the year. soon though the weather will be back to being colder again. |

We are headed into the so called January thaw, temp. in the 30s F to 40s F which just make life miseralble; I would much prefer if from the 1st of December to the 1st of March it never, ever got above 20 degrees F.

i'd be ok if it stayed below freezing by a few degrees just to avoid repeated frost-thaw heaving but other than that i'm ok with it being cooler for winter and having snow cover on the ground. we currently have no snow cover at all here and today is the first day in many where the sun is out and there is blue sky. they've forecast the past three weeks at least 7 days of sunny or partly sunny and today is the only one that came through. warm weather here too coming, several days in a row above freezing even over night. i wonder perhaps if i may get some gardening done if it stays dry enough and warm enough i could if the ground isn't frozen. i have some big areas of sod i'd like to turn back into garden space but i won't be busting that if it is frozen, quack grass is tough enough to remove when the ground is thawed. i do have my limits...  |

33F, snowing, crappy sloppy out side as melting snow floods the side walk with no where for water to go. Heading back into twenties and teens later this week with sub-zero F next week. They call it the January thaw but it is more like the January hemarrhoid.  |

I don't think that its a good sign for the apricot tree this year.Its to early.  it can frost up to may month for us. I hope that february will be not too sweet or that the spring will be early. |

yes, i always want it to remain consistently cold long enough that the fruit trees don't bud out too soon.
this winter so far has been mostly mild with one period of cold that has now again shifted back to being warm (above freezing enough to likely melt all the snow cover again).

rains and warm weather did melt all of the snow. hope the cold will return soon before the trees start figuring out it is time to bud.

it's cold here again, off and on, not much snow on the ground and again it will likely be melting away.
i did shovel some today just to get the layer of heavy snow off part of the driveway so it won't be icy too close to the house. i'll do some more tommorrow. maybe it will mostly melt and be safe.

Blueberries, peaches, cherries, Bradford pears, forsythia, some magnolia maybe saucer idk all blooming here. Maples are budding out, my Amur maples have leaves. Been warm all winter except one cold snap, in the 70s now, been sweaty running. Drought been much better then was last year. I had been getting enough rain for my newly planted bushes and trees, figured it was drier so I watered, then got an inch of rain out of nowhere, yesterday.
