What the hell is going on?

Snow for Monday and again next weekend? If I have to put the plow back on that will suck.

This morning the ground is white with frost. Some areas looks like it hit hard. Started mowing the lawn two weeks ago and have not been able to finish. Last night I started over still too wet though and today it is suppose to start raining again.

Hell the weather channels is saying we could get 6-8 inches of snow Sunday into Monday. Hard to believe when I was sweating in a T shirt yesterday while working in the garden. Was hoping to put some more stuff out in the garden this coming week but not with the cold they are predicting for next weekend. Hope the peas survive as they are getting going and looking nice. My early lettuce got cooked from being too hot in the boxes this past week.

I have done no planting yet. In fact the garden has not been tilled even.

I sure hope it misses you and they are wrong.

We started our garden a week ago and last night we were really concerned because of freeze warnings but we lucked out. It only got down to 37 and is allready 48 at 8:30. I think our freeze worrys are over according to the long term forcast. Now I only have to worry about the damn critters eating everything.

Well the first round of rain is here already and we direly need it. The temp shift will be hard on things that are budded out.I took the skid steer and loaded some good dry slab wood into the wood shed so I will have enough to burn the newer wood. Will take some serious heat on Monday if it only gets to 36 for a high. Wife is having a fit about her flowers and lilacs since they survived 2 cold nights already. It looks like it will be a northeaster that will bring the snow to us and all the interior NE.

We left at 11:00 it was 62F and till we got back at $ it had dropped to 43. Then the beeper started going off a minute ago:
