Ok, now I am officially shocked, and a bit worried! Only a short 10 days ago:
- 3-6foot snow drifts (the middle horizontal bar in our greenhouse is up about 10 feet; just to explain how high a lot of the drifts were.)
- Minus single digit weather at night (we have a heater in our fish pond so it doesn’t freeze – 2 huge fish in there!)
- Wind gusts more than 50mph (I can always tell how bad the wind is by how much of the road you can see – AFTER – the plow as gone by!)
Then this week:
- Only specks of any snow remain
- 65°F today and expecting 70+°F tomorrow – February 18, 2016
- Grass and flowers are starting to show up
And my Christmas Cactus is flowering?
WWWWHHHHAAAATTTT????
This has got to be the freakiest winter I have ever seen – here or in Wisconsin! Colorado can have 60’s in January, and it’s not unusual. But to get this warm in February – now that’s down right abby-normal (I love Young Frankenstein!)! Not sure if I should let my spring fever run amok or batten down the hatches and prep for the apocalypse – oooohhhhh (that’s a ghostly ooh by the way – LOL – too spooky!)
