Mary Stella ...
I live in the lower Klamath mountains in northern California on the dry side. We do have an average rainfall of about 40", but that is only in winter and spring.
Sounds like my climate is warmer than Woofie's but we have the same summer temps. The amount of snow we get depends on the elevation or whether your home is located in a "snow belt". For me, at my elevation, we get snow a few times a year, but it rarely sticks.
Woofie ...
You are right. This not a normal year at all !!! We didn't get any snow or sub-freezing night temps to knock down the weeds this year. The weeds are jumping out of the ground and beginning to flower NOW instead of near the end of April, which is our last frost date.
Generally, when it starts warming up here, it never cools down to the low temps of winter. Who knows what's coming this year ?
Smiles,
Lyn
