 8 degrees here, another dusting of snow last night.

Yep, the warm will begin at the end of the weekend. Back to the mid 70's with mosquitoes, yes those have cranked up already around here.

What she said.

 Warmer today but windy so a trip to the deep woods and play with power tools and airguns 

[Madd Hatter]

Suppose to get up to 64 today and in the 70s starting tomorrow for a few days. Got a slight chance of rain next Saturday and Monday 🤞. I've got a feeling this is going to be a very dry year and our monsoons will not show up.😡😡

[A.K.A. Tommy Boy]

34 °F today. 

Temps in the 40's all next week, starting on Sunday.

P.S.

I spotted a male Northern Flicker in my backyard yesterday.
I had not seen one since last October.
I was pleased to see one.
They generally migrate out of my area during the coldest part of winter.
Hopefully this is a sign of warmer temps.

It's almost warm now and NOT windy. 😃

The question is which of the four outdoors tasks for this afternoon should I do first? Yup, shooting airguns is one of them.

[Blowpipe Sam]

The Redbud is blooming along with the Camelias.  The Azaelea are just starting and a lot of other trees and shrubs are budding.  Temps in the low seventies and I had to take my coat off when I was raking leaves!

Yep, here comes the first of my 2 favorite times of the year here in lower Alabama, Spring and Fall. Other than the rain that is expected over night tonight, there are some great days coming weather wise. Let the clean up begin.

[A.K.A. Tommy Boy]

It is 23 F this morning. 43 F later on.
Cloudy and snow flurries forecasted early am then sunny.
It is supposed to be in the Forty's all week long.

Hopefully most of the snow will be gone by next Sunday.


Best Wishes - Tom

 Yup the snow is getting thinner here too

[Blowpipe Sam]

Overcast and high sixties all day.  The alligators make a pretty good thermometer.  The river is spring fed so it's 69 F all year long.  When the temps are below 68 the gators will stay in the river with perhaps their heads and the scutes along their backs exposed.  Much below 60 F and they expose only their heads.  Below 50 F the only expose their eyes and nostrils.  Below 40 F they get real sluggish and they will lie on the bottom for ten to fifteen minutes at a time only surfacing for a quick breath.

They were predicting a low of 28 but when I got up at dawn it was 44f. Could they have been more wrong 😕 Well, I guess they could have but come on!

We've got 4 fixed wing water tankers flying across us this afternoon. It seems that Camp Pendelton Marine Base has started a fire today, and all hands are on deck.

It is closer than I thought.

There is a hiking trail that comes up a canyon/river bottom. Part of it is at the end of our street. It is a very steep canyon area with lots of chaparral brush to burn.

We've also had quite a few wildland fire fighting trucks (really large all-wheel drive trucks) rolling past us this morning.

One of the fixed wing tankers turning back away from the fire zone:

Good luck, Moke. Any air traffic besides commercial jets always makes me a little anxious.

It's been windy and warmer than normal most days here. Nice for some outdoor activities, but we--and you, as in most of the SW US--need snow or rain.

[Madd Hatter]

Well it's looking like we're going to get snow Thursday and Friday 😁. Of course the wife has an appointment on Thursday.😕 I love this, we go through almost all of winter with nothing and now we are going to get some winter weather.

I hear ya.

My husband had minor surgery scheduled on a day when a big snowstorm was forecast. It didn't pose trouble on our way TO the appointment but the storm had hit with full force by the time we came back up the steep dirt road to our even steeper driveway. The county had plowed once already, creating a nice tall wall at the entrance. After I started one time to pass through, I immediately decided to BACK down onto the main plowed road, continue uphill past our driveway to a wide turnaround spot, and use gravity to assist getting over the hump. My husband was literally yelling at me to just gun the engine and ram the vehicle through, risking a high-center "stuck" on what might be icy hardpack under the top layer.

I yelled back that ramming would be stupid. Did it my way, successfully and harmlessly. The only reason I restrained myself from saying, "Told ya so!" was because he had just had surgery. That was two homes ago. Here, the county does not plow our road at all, and that's actually a good thing.

[Madd Hatter]

The county doesn't do squat with our dirt roads.

Windy and warm here today.
