Weather

Ground still frozen solid here, was tough trying to stick turkey decoys into it today.
 
Over 30" of snow this month with over 20" falling this past week and I was able to get my evergreen plugs planted today. Take that @Big Snow Man . Gotta love April.
All of them or just one to prove me wrong !

Ha. All of them. But I was limited as any place in the woods that still had snow cover was frozen solid.
 
Spring has sprung. I was trout fishing in a T shirt yesterday. It actually felt good at one point to stand in the shade. HaHa
 
It's a sunny 60 and climbing here today with next weeks forecast in the low 70's!

I hope you members to the north are getting some of this.
 
It has been a beautiful week, mid to lower 60's for up here. But all this snow had to go somewhere, and now a lot of roads are closed from flooding.
 
Watching a storm roll in tonight listening to the nws talk about possible rotation. They hadn’t issued a warning then but had the VFDs out looking.
I snapped these pics then the weather radio went off for a tornado warning. A couple shots looking se of the house at what appeared to be a wall cloud9F81F9F8-3C40-4C62-BC4B-4E6F0454EBB3.jpeg

Confirmed touchdown a few miles NE of the house. Cousin also had a video of a tornado about 10 miles further NW
 
Now i know what the northern guys are dealing with this spring. I just got up to Canada, and Spring has not sprung. Not a green bud or leaf on anything.

The lake is still frozen, and there are patches of snow on the ground. The ground that doesn't have snow is a wet soggy mess.

Guess I'll start grafting today!
 
Lake Manitou.
 
Spring was late up here in Ontario, but it is coming on like Gangbusters. Trout lilies are blooming, ramps are up, rainbow trout are in the streams, and the ice has all melted. I have been really busy with everything. But the weather is truly amazing here now.
 
Stinkin' rain won't quit. Even when it doesn't actually rain every day, it's predicted to rain every day. And it's been pretty windy, too. Rain and wind makes the window for spraying pretty small.
Even if conditions were right for spraying, my soil is too wet to run a tractor over it. We went from winter straight to monsoon season.
I've resorted to spot spraying small areas with the backpack sprayer.
But I'm sure it will quit raining soon...right after I get seed spread...it'll dry out. Right about the end of July after I spread brassica, we'll get a drought when I want to spread Urea. Seems to happen every year.
I don't know how real farmers cope with everything Mother Nature throws at them.
 
I am at the other end of the spectrum. My land has only gotten 2 small shots of rain since the snow melted, both times .006”. My apple trees didn’t look very good, and have some dried up leaves.
 
Dry as bone here.
 
Warm and wet since winter gave up a few weeks back. Farm fields in the area have 3-4" corn stalks already.
 
Central Va just had a 4-day monsoon anywhere from 7”-12” of rain in 4 days.
 
91° with a real feel of 100°. This sucks. I hate hot weather.
 
We are on pace for the warmest May on record. Got enough rain to go from extreme drought to just severe.

Took this pic last Thursday. Only got .15 in rain from it.

That pic looks like when I decide it's a perfect time to spread urea...then we only get .15''
