Our vegies are already up and this year we planted directly in soil, not first in pots.

I remember snow storms in April and a freaky snow storm in late August when I was stationed at Fort Carson (Colorado Springs). Loved it there. Wish I'd never left.

14. We didn't have much of a winter.
Wed Mar 27, 2013, 08:01 PM
Mar 2013

It stayed unseasonably warm until the 3rd week in December; we got one good snow that hung around for a month, and then it's been "Indian spring" off and on since. The annual weeds sprouted in February. Weed season has a big head start.

It's not really that warm, just not as cold as usual, and there have been pockets of May/June-like warmth.

I have just about had it with this winter. I feel like I'm in the movie "Groundhog Day." Every day feels the same, like it's still mid-January.

This is VERY hard psychologically.

Feels like we've been stuck at January 15th for two and a half months. I seriously don't know how much more of this I can take. I feel psychologically trapped by the cold wet grayness.

back in January. Weird winter, above average temps almost all winter long, heck even snakes were out, in January!

Now, a week before Spring starts, its been rather cold(40/20's).

to say it 's "the year without spring?" It's only a week old. In the Northeast, it's not entirely impossible for it to snow in APRIL.

25. It almost hasn't rained in southern California this year
Thu Mar 28, 2013, 06:05 AM
Mar 2013

It's only rained about 50% of normal during what is usually the rainy season, and normal ain't usually that great. It's very troubling to me.
