Our winter was horrid, like most of the eastern half of the country, but we're having a great warm up in the last few days. When I got home from work it was so nice out I had to take a walk. It's 66°, sunny, and nice breeze, Perfect!
We're supposed to get colder again (highs in the 40s) but that's OK. The worst is over.

The weather has been nice here in January and the first half of February, but now we are experiencing weather colder than it has been all winter. Last week we had a blowing snowstorm that left us without power for over 3 days and toppled several trees and large branches, some the size of small trees with
slight damage (fortunately) to our roof, and now a colder one with even more snow is on its way due to arrive tomorrow night.
I knew that winter was not over even if it appeared to be spring-like. I was afraid if I had started too early that all would be for naught and so I have started now in earnest now that winter is really here. Has anyone started in warmer weather and then have things come up and have the winter cold knock them down? (I guess you can see, that I am new at wintersowing, as last year was my first year.) Actually it was cold all last winter and most of spring so my wintersowing did pretty well. My summer veggies were less than stellar though.
