wtnhunt Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Is winter done already or will we see another hard cool down? Had one snow event here all winter. Not supposed to see below freezing temps for the rest of February, not complaining, gonna appreciate the lower electric heat bill and also the grass coming in will cut down on my hay usage. Usually spring here gets kicking with the bradford pears coming in and the redbuds and then the dogwoods, usually all later in March. Have peach trees flowering and some of the bradford pears around are in full bloom here now, this is the middle of February? Redbuds,, dogwoods and fruit bearing pears and apples appear to still be dormant though. Maybe ol Phil the oversized rat was wrong. Spring springing where you are yet?

hammerforged Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think we will see another cold snap before it is all said and done but I gotta tell ya, I am NOT liking these mid to upper 70 days. It is hard enough forging in the main heat of the summer, the winter gives me some relief and makes it easier to stand in front of that forge. I am worried for the Peach and Apple farmers, if the peaches and apples start to blossom and we do get another cold snap that would be disastrous for them.

Turkeygirl Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 40s and 50s here...got the buckets out collecting maple tree sap. Picking up shed antlers....it's a fabulous February thaw. Wish I wasn't working next 2 days, I'd hit the steelhead stream! Suppose to cool down this coming weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Man, I don't know what to think about this winter. I think we normally average about 14" of snow through a winter, and have less than 2" so far this winter. It has been consistently in the 60's and a few days in the 70's for the past two weeks now. Our average high is about 49 degrees this time of year, and it was 60 when I left for work this morning. Hopefully this doesn't carry over and give us miserable hot summer. Some of the yard plant are turning green and getting buds. At this rate I'll be mowing grass in another two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

im your huckleberry Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Been real different here as well. We are at -5c for overnight when it should be around -15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's supposed start raining shortly here straight through til Sunday, and be 55 degrees tomorrow and Saturday, unheard of in February here. That's early April weather for us! Short lived though, but still staying a lot warmer than normal for next week. mid-high 30s daytime and high teens low 20s at night. December has been our harshest month yet. Yes William we'll be saving on hay like you said. You should see the cows up here eat to stay warm once it gets cold! We only have 3 right now with their young ones they had in June/July. Been averaging a round bale every 4 days, and it hasn't been too cold, below say 10F for a few weeks. It disappears real quick when it's 20 or 30 below! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Still winter here. We received over 40 inches of snow last week and then had freezing rain to top it off. There has been alternating snow and rain every day since with highs in the mid 30's and lows in the teens. The mountain snow pack should pay dividends come late spring and summer for keeping the fire season at bay. Sure is hard on the deer, elk and moose to move around and find food under the current conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Last night we had thunderstorms that were better than any normal summer thunderstorm I've seen in a long time! Crazy to have lightning this time of year here. Rained hard all day today, and dropping to 20 degrees overnight. Might be able to put my skates on in the morning and go for a skate in the flooded fields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) We've had a nice Spring going on since December....my plums and fig trees are bloomed out. Dogwoods too. Everything is getting covered in a nice shade of yellow from the pine pollen. Edited February 27, 2017 by Dawg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 (edited) I so hope we do not not get a late frost again. Last year we had ZERO apples on almost 30 something trees. A wicked Tornado like storm came whipping through Saturday afternoon. Most of our snow is all melted except northern areas. Its all Trumps fault Edited February 27, 2017 by Adjam5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Tomorrow will be an interesting transition. High of 55 with rain, up to an inch. Temps drop to 14 overnight. Everything will be like a skating rink! Friday night's low is -2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin R10 man Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 woke up to high winds and a fresh blanket of snow; roads very slick, as I heard rain during the night also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 20 hours ago, Rhino said: Had to crank up the AC here today. Thought we might have to here yesterday too, but knew this cold front was coming so let it get a little warm. Pretty bad storms rolled trough last night and into this morning, high winds. A barn about half a mile up the road lost its top, was mangled metal and lumber with nails across our road this morning. If it were straight line winds, don't know that the tin would have been so twisted, but dunno. Roof was about 90 yards away from the building and looks to have flown over a double wide directly in between. Gonna have to mow my weeds and wild onions this weekend here, don't think I can recall ever mowing the yard this early before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
