I'm in South Louisiana, about five miles from the gulf, and it was 26 degrees this morning.  That's real cold for this here, as this is a major citrus growing area.  Plus, Louisiana is always a high humidity zone, so 26 degrees with a 15 mph wind feels very cold.

Heat wave this morning. Currently 31* .  Freezing rain last night and calling for possible 1-2 inches of snow today. I so dislike winter. Have the day off so will tackle my garage today!  Need to clean so I can start winter projects.

Crazy8,  I'm with you in my "love" for the winter.  My wife was very provident when she reserved a short stay for us in a hotel on the shores of the Dead Sea---while the rest of the country is suffering from the cold (admittedly, not like yours in Indiana). We've gone to 429 meters below sea level (over 1400 ft) where the weather is clear and pleasantly warm.  We arrived in the afternoon (in time to say good morning to you). Tomorrow, when we go out for a walk I hope to look at the flowers and look for bees enjoying the spring weather in the midst of the winter season.  This is not the place for a comfortable visit in the summer, when the heat is almost unbearable.

Ef, you are such a plus for my continuing education.  I did not realize the Dead Sea was below sea level.  Thanks for being here.

Reply #482...... Tomorrow, when we go out for a walk I hope to look at the flowers and look for bees enjoying the spring weather in the midst of the winter season.
Tomorrow has come and gone... The walk took place but there were few flowers blossoming.  The big disaappointment was that I couldn't find a single bee----not even one-----anywhere. 
I guess the kilometers of surrounding desert serve as a very effective barrier that the bees can't cross in order to get to the gardens in this beautiful oasis.  No beekeepers have brought hives to take advantage of the flowers and if there were any feral hives in the past, being unattended, they must have been destroyed by varroa.

  Good mourning everyone. still dry here in central California fog set in ten days ago an have not seen the sun. Went out yesterday and worked in the garden getting asparagus ready for spring and picked some fresh strawberries very unusual for this time of year. Blueberries are blooming its been warmer than normal all winter we have only had a few days with chill hours for the fruit trees. Good news is the doc has me breathing easier lately so i have been doing more.  well have a good day all going to go outside and rune fruit trees and just enjoy the day.

Wishing you an 'all day' nice day Rod. We have had plenty of rain up here in upper northern California, maples are budding. Encouraged with all the rain that bees will have plenty of nectar this season  :)

Yep, nothing more annoying than having the snow piling up on the sat dish.  Somebody needs to invent a heater to keep those things de-iced!

  Good mourning all hope yesterday was good of everyone. I went out and started pruning fruit trees and only got a little done ran out of air came in the house and sat down. After getting second wind i went back out and did a little more . I use to do all pruning in one day now takes about a week due to all the time it takes to catch my breath. The good thing is i can still do the work just takes longer. I am trying to stay off of the oxygen bottle as long as i can doc said to try to push myself as much as possible to breath deep it will help keep my lungs clear better . Well have a good day all going back outside to work on the trees some more.

Keep After it Rodmaker! If the weather is good, a comfy lawn chair nearby in the shade, with a cold drink. Take it one step at a time!

Same weather here.  Lake Erie 90 percent frozen over. The lake snow should start to shut down soon.

going to be 50 today, 60 tomorrow, night temps still near freezing.  Got astromenda out of the computer but Charter's internet service is not fully loading anything, and until they fix it doesn't do much good to get online.  Going to hit post, it might get there.  Ya'll have a good day.
