Exactly four degrees tonight, Tuesday calling for 65.. making it hard to get a good feel on wood load when temperatures are jumping all around.

Was 64 here Sunday, all the snow went buh bye. Then we had another winter storm come thru, rain, freezing rain, sleet then snow. Is 24 now, with an expected high of 60 by middle of next week. Is playing hell on the livestock, sent the wife to TSC to stock up on long lasting single dose antibiotics, gonna have at least a few cases of pneumonia at this rate.

Yesterday there was 14 inches of new snow and minus 20 C.  This a.m. it was -28.  The dog didn't enjoy his morning walk which is weird given that he grew up as a puppy living wild and free is Moosonee.  (actually Attawapiskat but I have a hard time pronouncing 5 syllable words).
Next week the weather turns mild and might be able to tap some maple trees.

Winter Weather Advisory here currently with temps in the 20° range but by the end of the coming week forecast highs are 70°!
Talk about Mood Swings  ;D    Maybe it will dry up some so I can replenish my wood supply!

Was very difficult to schedule a wood delivery with this mess.  The delivery happened at 5 am when it was cold enough to back into the yard and not sink in.  I should have enough wood depending on temps to april

We're pulling anhydrous,doing some dozer work and the baby calves have never had it so easy. This has never happened this early in the year. Me and a grandson took a couple of disks to a few farms yesterday and worked down some cow paths in the cornstalks. Makes me wonder how many feet of snow we will get in April!!!

This is the first time I can ever remember cutting my log pile in February and not have to wear a coat, a flannel shirt was enough.  I'm not complainin' though.  Roger

It will really Pi$$ me off if I have to mow my yard in March but, the way it's going, I might have to.

Mower is broke down pto cable is broken, two flat year tires and a bad battery not looking forward to overhauling the lawn mower.  I normally burn into mid april.  Colder nights require some kind of heat.  I hate the later spring months fiddling with the amount of wood needed to last the day and nights.  Towards the end I usually say screw it and bundle up at night.  I have a feeling towards the end of March and early April temps could plunge here in Michigan.  Figure I have at least 20 days 90 the boiler running

Yep, stupid grass is starting to look mighty green here. At least this year I don’t have to mow with a fubared back.

Supposed to be back below freezing at night by the end of the week here.

Gonna be planting corn before I know it.

We'll probably hit 64 by August,,,,,,,,,,,

Northern part of the state (Iowa) is expected to get 6-10 inches of snow tonight. Southern 2 tiers of counties are under tornado warnings. We got some rain and high winds. Temps dropped 30 degrees today. Alfalfa and grass is all seeded and we're hooking to the planters. Saw a guy mowing his yard today. What next? Tsunami?

Nothing like that here yet Bud Man, still mighty wet along fencerows and north of any woods.

I might plant some hay in the next week or two if it doesn’t get too wet the next few days.
