I hear ya Sistah Rivah!

We didn't get enough sun last summer with the fires and all, but we did get a nice long Fall season. We are just now getting into the 20' and 30's. I STILL don't have my fondant made, but I think the hives are okay. After all the holiday stuff and the last of the 5 december birthday celebrations on Sunday, and the last grand going home today... I think I shall lock my doors tomorrow, turn the phones off and dally in the kitchen with bee food ... yup, that's what I'm gonna do

I am with Mrs. River.. I am all geared up and ready for winter to be over, and like her, winter seems to JUST be starting.. Ice on the pond now, and its 7 degrees.. the wind is also just starting for the day.. I usually get up and do chores around 7 AM so there is not much wind to deal with yet.. When the sun hits the Prairie it starts blowing.. by 8:30 you want to be inside if its seven degrees, because the wind chill makes it a LOT colder...
No snow to write my name in yet, thankfully.. Also looks like some days upcoming that are to be in the thirties again... Hoping the temps dont even come close to last years temps!

Its 25 now with light snow, About 10 inches on the ground. A warm up coming for the weekend with freezing rain back to heavy rain and back to colder temps by Monday with heavy snow.

We've had freezing temperatures, 26 F to 30F, constantly for two days. This morning it is 33 F and rising to 45 F. That's a long cold spell for us. We sometimes have temps in the teens, but our freezes are usually just a night thing with a warm up in the day. I truly don't know how you northerners take the loooooong winters.

Winter last a long time here. I wont see any major weather improvement till June. When it does warm up its short and mother nature will give me enough time to get ready for another winter. What makes it hard We get very little sunshine during winter. This season its been very mild.

What is the most grown crops there? Will winter wheat and other cover crops grow in your cold climate? June, dang June, holy moly June. We usually have some 100 degree F days by mid May. Our last freeze is usually in March. We sometimes have a freeze in the first week of April. If so, we refer to it as a "garden killer." Our next freeze is in November and sometimes December.

Last frost around may 25th . First frost early October. Corn and hay are very common crops in my area. Other parts of state grow different crops. My area is number one in dairy cows. The state is divided up into different regions. Every region has different weather patterns and different crops they grow. The regions east of lake Erie and Ontario get most of the snow. Off lake Erie up to 200 inches and off lake Ontario 400 inches because that lake is to deep to freeze over. I think the best part in the state to live is central NY finger lakes region. agriculture is very diversified here. Very little snow. Beautiful area to live. We got two of the deepest lakes in the country here, Seneca the deepest lake over 700ft deep and Cayuga lake over 400 ft. we have 3 other lakes up to 300ft deep. NY wont win any prize for weather but its one of the prettiest states in the country to visit. Every year we loose population because of our high taxes and lack of good paying jobs.

52 degrees now, high wind warning up to 65 mph. Tonight heavy lake snow up to 2' with lows down to 10 degrees and -20 by the end of next week. My bees are out going to the bathroom now.

In the 20'sF, white crap coming down, wind chill 6F

. Now to talk myself into climbing on the tractor and putting out hay, feed grain, and check the water for the cows. Hmmm, better build a fire in the shop to keep the paint cans from freezing also. Jack

Same here Jack.. snowing, wind is howling, with wind chill its claiming -2 degrees here.. Be about ten days of teen temps before it looks like we have some 30 degree temps again.
Guess its time to play Diablo 3 for a few days. Stay inside and warm!

Good Morning, it was this time last year when I started painting the new doors to the bedrooms and bathrooms down the hallway, at my leisure. It's time consuming to paint doors and door frames and base boards, I got about half way done when 5 weeks of swarm catching interupted my painting. So now the weather has trapped me inside, and I will continue my arduous job of painting. Although I don't mind painting so much, especially when I have two days of venison stew waiting for dinner and I don't have to cook for a couple of days.

8 degrees now with 35 mph wind with heavy snow. Have about 18 inches on the ground now. more to come.

We are at 13 degrees with a 15 to 20 mph wind, sound better than yours but look at where you live and mine, will be like this for 5 days just like last year but a little better in the heat toward the end.

That’s cold for your area. I don’t know how you can deal with it down there.

efmesch · « **Reply #479 on:** January 08, 2015, 12:22:41 pm »

Today it's only the 8th of January and so far in these 8 days we've received 55.4 mm (over 2" )of rain. It came with a storm and now we have a slight letup in the winds as the temps drop--and tomorrow the prediction is for more rain and more cold---much more. Jerusalem has had it's first snow of the year and more is expected as we go through a spell of unseasonably cold weather, down to 0 C (32 F).
I know that most of you will laugh at me, but for us, it's cold.
