We love to talk about all aspects of the weather, the effect on our gardens, and on our lives. This is a good place to keep a record of weather in our gardens from year to year too, so for that reason let's try to stay as close to the topic as we can. Please join in and tell us about your weather.

Scanty snow cover for this time of year. Not enough to provide insulation for plants.

Oh that 75 sounds good Linda. My toes froze just looking at Emmas thermometer!

Hurray! for rain, I think, Dave!?

Our temp dipped to 19 before the sun started a slow warming today. Even with pure sunshine the temp only reached 33 and with a cold north wind it felt like single digits out there. We have no snow, Emma, and I'm starting to get worried that all might not go well in the display garden in spring. Crossing Fingers! we both get snow soon.

Char, do you ever use a leaf cover? I can't count on snow here, it comes and goes but the leaves provide a good blanket.

Very light rain started here just before 7 this morning. Very heavy rain is still predicted plus possible hail. Sighing! This afternoon looking pretty scary if 'they' are right.
