~~**-- The Weather Thread --**~~

[RIP - VTEnviro]

I didn't plant anything tropical obviously, but one weekend in November before the soil was going to freeze and become unworkable, we planted a whole batch of bulbs all over the front yard - crocus, daffodils, tulips, lillies, hyacinths, etc.

Then we got a warm spell and some of them started to sprout out of the ground. Then the hard freeze came. I think I lost a bunch of them, we'll see when spring comes.

I would think that your bulbs will live through that. They may come up late though.

I hope so. I have a real black thumb. I can kill a plastic plant.

My Mom is really good at that stuff. Her living room looks like a jungle with all the exotic stuff she's got planted there. I think the green thumb skipped a generation.

I'm have a bit of OCD when it comes to gardening/landscaping. My grandmother and mom are both Master Gardeners and since I was 7 or 8 I really enjoyed getting out in the yard and planting stuff. It definitely sucks renting a house and not being able to do anything but container gardening. But I can't really justify buying a house right now just to dig in the dirt. I'll go over to my grandmother's house if I get the urge to garden.

They might be late like chuck said and probably smaller than usual too. I planted bulbs the weekend we bought the house and they came up this past spring. I hoping they made it through the rest of the year since the animals saw there were flowers planted in the ground. I didn't have to cut anything back (except the roses) as the animals ate the greenery after the flowers all died.

Its really cold and snowy here in New Jersey. It sucks. I want to go back to Texas ASAP. This whole trip is a very unpleasant reminder of why I hate the northeast.

-19 this morning with a wind chill of -35. Perfect day to take the Harley out for a little cruise.

 

[Supe]

Walking to the car this morning, got just a little bit of a wind gust. I think my penis went inside me.

You know that a week and a half ago it was close to 60 here, right?

Next time try to come out when it is a little warmer and work some free time in for a few $2 pints!

It's not too bad out... I mean, it is still in the double digits!

I wish I could have. I was going to try to get in touch with you if we had closed out yesterday, but that was not the case. Closeout meeting this morning/afternoon for the audit, then to the airport for my flight back to Houston (thank God).

9 deg, -5 windchill. thank you Lake MI for keeping us this 'warm' (i.e., not as f'n cold as Flyer!).

Supe for cripes sake man-up a little! you're like a shrinking hothouse flower :bawling:

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

-6 in my little suburb of Boston this morning. -16 back in my old home in VT, which sounds kinda quaint right now.

I've been here 7+ months, can I go back yet? I miss it so much sometimes.

 

[IlliniASU]

It's supposed to get up to 75 here in Phoenix today... woohoo!

 

[EM_PS]

^ yeah, but its a dry heat, so will probably only feel like 70 - HA!

That, was classic!!! Good one EM!!

 

[Supe]

Mid 70's here yesterday here in Houston, and a great reminder of why I hated New Jersey all last week.

 

[bigray76]

It may crack 30 here... flurries in the afternoon.

I am ready for Spring!

 

[Flyer_PE]

Our high temp for today is supposed to be 19 with flurries. Is it May yet?
