Feeling like
spring around here lately. I told the wife Saturday it looks like we'll be mowing in a few weeks. Earliest ever for us.
I'll be dipped if we didn't see someone already mowing later that morning. It was mostly onions but he was cutting them down. We're forecast to have mostly 70s this week.

Re: Feeling like
I'm ready for it. I like to work on my lean-to but it's been too cold lately.

Crisp clear 27* in the Motor City this morning.
27 is not unusual, but crisp and (especially) clear is. K

Re: Feeling like
Seems we are the last area to get warm weather . But conversely our fall is warmer than most think it’s due to the Atlantic Ocean influence. Was 11 this morning

Re: Feeling like
I noticed that it's greening up around here too. It's 58 degrees right now which is okay but it's been raining for 3 days which isn't so great.
I wanted to work on the dune buggy but the first job will be bailing out water with a bucket.

Re: Feeling like
For us, multiple days in the 70s in mid Feb is just nuts!

Re: Feeling like
Count your blessings buddy. I'm waiting for those 70 degree sunny days. I might get something done. Probably not but maybe.

Re: Feeling like
i'm so f*^king sick of rain out here, need to spray weeds but it never dries out enough, i was able to mow week before last even though it was still wet. i need to mow again but the rain won't stop and to top it off i caught COVID again. the first time i had it was mild, this time it's kicking my a$$. my son and daughter in law went to my pharmacy and picked up paxlovid 300 and it is supposed to shorten the duration of the symptoms.

Here is our Forcast for central Iowa. I think this is the warmest February on record here so far. Our average high for this time of year is 37º and our average low is 20º .

Re: Feeling like
Boog,
Green onions use MSM Turf and that will get them. This early spring has caught me off guard. Have not got my pre-emergent out yet as it's not supposed to be this warm! Thought I had a couple more weeks. Oh well, I guess I'll just deal with the weeds and take the good weather.

Re: Feeling like
I'm not so sure about spring being here yet. We can get a good snow at the end of Feb. It's been low 20s in the morning and 40s in the daylight, which is spot on February weather. W-48* sunny, Th-52* rain in afternoon, F-53* rain, S-40 sunny & windy, S-50 part sun, M-63 part sun, and T-64* 40% rain. Typical weather these days. We have the early flowers sprouted, but I'm not getting too excited about spring happening yet.
I sure don't get anyone being so eager to start mowing grass, even before it has started to grow. There will be plenty change for mowing coming up. Some people are plum anal about their lawns, or have no hobbies and are bored out of their skull. For me it's time to pick up sticks and cut back perennials and shrubs, rake leaves out of the flower beds. then mulch next month. I like to let the grass grow a bit before the first cutting

Personally I'm "feeling like" leaving the east coast and moving to AZ. Hopefully in 5 years.

Re: Feeling like
We have gotten some of our worst cold weather in March some years but times have changed. We received an ice storm 2 days before we wed on March 14 1975. We were skinny young adults then so there was plenty of additional snuggling went on because of the single digit temps.

Re: Feeling like
I will always remember that storm. My shop got broken into and they stole a bunch of expensive equipment.. From my office window I could see the footprints in the snow where the thieves went.

Re: Feeling like
I was out in the barn this evening...to get some beers.
It was in supposed to be 50 today, didn't feel like it. Rain kept trying to start up at around noon and finally got going solid around 3. Rain into late morning and it will be close to 60 tomorrow. Between around 4 and 6 we had lightening with no thunder, weird. Not so long ago we had some thunder, no lightening. It 's unusual to have either this time of year. Saturday windy with a high of 40. That will be cold. Sunday will be better, 49, sunny, no wind. Anymore that's perfect for me. M/T/W it will be 62/65/68 but with that comes chance of rain each day. I'm good with 45-50 with no wind or rain

Re: Feeling like
I’ve been doing maintenance on my bike trailer and cleaning my ‘12 Chief. Plan is to stop at Daughters in NC , spoil the grandkids pull the bike off and ride to Daytona for bike week. It is snowing in Downeast Maine while I type this. I’m going to find me a big ‘ol palm tree and park my kiester under it a spark up a Cohiba Behike, and forget about snow for a while.
