What is your weather like ... today

[SarahT]

All ok here. Stormy weather, lots of rain, and a tornado a few miles away. (This is Florida. What's up with all these tornadoes?!) Stay warm, northern people. @rubyduby and I won't complain about our temperatures "plunging" below 60 degrees. No worries until they're cold enough, below the mid30s, to freak out the plants.

More rain and maybe a bad storm coming next Thursday.

Forecast is showing a snowstorm coming Thursday. Right now it looks like we could get between 12" and 18" of snow.

We did get a bit of snow but not much! It's 28f. Tomorrow night we go down to 14f at night, yikes!

It's a Chinese Windmill Palm. The hardiest palm that I know of but it won't live in places much colder than here. I'm in zone 8b and when it was very young during the very cold winter I had to cover them. Two still died but this one made it thankfully. Now it can take our cold freezes! I started them from seed I got from the zoo in Seattle prolly abt 15 yrs ago or so.

Love it ,

If i had to box them up for the winter wrap them in a blanket, I would guess i'll have to settle for tree stumps and cedar

I've read about people back east protecting them. I guess it can be done but a lot of work!

Yahooooooooooooo, Mountain Dew.....................we got's da snow big time for us anyways! Only a few inches but I'll take it! Can ya tell I am happy?

 

[j.w]

Oh gosh woke up to 12F on my window thermometer this morning!

 

[JBtheExplorer]

Forecasts are showing we might get about 8" of snow tomorrow. It'd be a big relief to not get the 12"-18" we were originally expecting. It's still possible, though.

We are in the 20's this morning and getting ready to go cut more wood at a sheep farm. Big Maples fell and we get them all for free!
Might get snow on Sunday and Monday................we shall see View attachment 155419

Love burning maple...I miss the North!

Now we're only expecting 2"-5" of snow from today's storm. It's supposed to get really windy though, so there could be white-out conditions at some point.
