There's white slush everywhere!

17 years ago

Guess what I woke up to? Yep, grass, cars, rooftops all covered in slushy white snow! Haven't seen snow down this low in about 15 years! Temp is 43 right now, so it will probably be gone soon. Can't wait to see the mountains to the north when the clouds move--bet they got a really good blanket of snow. I took a few pics and even took a handful into show DH who was still in bed. He wasn't surprised since it had gotten so cold last night,

Okay, fun to see a "sample', now let's get back to sunny California weather! Ha ha I am not a cold weather person anymore either.

How's the weather where you are?

Hey, I see you received my little sample package. ha I'm sure it will melt off soon for you. :) Trust me, we had plenty to spare!! ha

Hey PF~ I'm interested to see how the weather is there. My friend in Chicago is planning a trip down to FL and she's packing all summer clothes and tanning up for the beaches. Is it really still warm enough for that or should I tell her to bring some warmer clothes as well?

Yesterday it got rather warm, in th high sixties. Today and tomorrow it is suppose to be in the seventies. But I heard we are suppose to have a cold front come through next week. Last night I sat on the swing while the dog did her thing (which is mostly sniffing grass), it was so nice, no wind, the air was crisp but not cold. I could have stayed longer but not by myself. I would love for it to snow just once so the grandchildren can see and feel it. But then I want it gone. If it did snow the whole town would have a snow day - most of us can't drive in the rain, let alone snow LOL.

I would suggest she bring a jacket and long pants just in case. If she is going to south Florida it should be in the seventies. Tell her to have fun but be practical.

Wow! I am having the same problem. Mainly on my Brugs and Lantana. They are just all over them! I haven't sprayed anything - yet. Both had alot of whiteflies when I moved them outside from the greenhouse. Now they have black flies! Maybe the black flies are eliminating the white flies??? Anyway, the leaves look fine, so I am just waiting for now. But I do hope they leave soon. I have never seen anything like this before.

seedlings have branches everywhere

I have had a number of plants that did the multisplit. I had a grove farm that split 14 times in about 2002. I let it grow naturally but the number of arms seemed to limit the development. The smaller branches became weak and the plant was not doing as well as others. It did not survive the frost this year. Then I had a cindy moragne seedling that split 17 times. I picked out the best looking three branches and cut off all the others. that plant flowered beautifully with a new flower and is now over five feet tall. I now believe that 4 branches is the maximum for a stem to support and three is best. Bill Grove farm:

Thank you everyone for your help... in the end I decided to make the closet by the front door like a mudroom with hooks for coats, and the storage room I put a small dest and chair with a large mirror and am using it as a small office as was intended in the original floorplan of the house. Just wasn't sure about painting the doors rainwashed to match the walls...I tried it first on the trim and it didn't look quite right to me. I removed both doors completely and painted the wall rainwashed to match the other walls in the living room. Will post a pic later today!

@Sye Phommachanh thank you. The contractor has been very unpleasant from the beginning. Any other solutions ... like maybe just redoing the red oak plank on the landing or the entire landing? Do you think the nordic on red oak will look much better and almost match the landing? Is it worth re doing For $700-800 (His quote). Any good way to approach him and try to talk the price down? Like I said, I felt like he’s been burned before and didn‘t want to offer any advice and just threw his hands yo defensively when I asked for his professional opinion. I’m not a surgeon, so Imm not going to tell a surgeon how to do surgery. I also asked him to tell me if it looked crazy, which it does.

I know what you mean about not knowing how to drive in the rain, let alone snow. That is how it is out here in Ca. too. And because we so seldom get rain, all the "yuck" on the streets is really slippery when it rains and some people want to speed along just like normal.

Glad you are enjoying the nice weather. We were enjoying it--but got hit with a cold front so temps have dropped. Supposed to start warming up again as it passes on through.

Okay--what's going on here? Our temps were in the low 30's--this is southern Calif. folks--yikes! I think my water pipes almost froze. We had the house all redone with copper pipes before we moved in--they are in the attic and must have gotten pretty cold. (DH likes to have the heat go off at night, has it on a timer.) Anyway the water was running very slightly when I went to make coffee this morning. I turned on the hot water faucet and let it run awhile and that seemed to help. Told DH that we might have to add some insulation over the pipes if the weather is going to start getting this cold. Weather report says we are only going to get up to the mid 60's all week. Guess we're getting a taste of what Winter is like--and NO, I don't much care for it. I want my warm shirt sleeve weather back. Ha ha Luvs

Thanks PF. I passed on your advice to my friend. She wasn't too happy to hear about the cold front, but she did pack a few light jackets. :)

Luvs~ sure hope your pipes don't feeze. That will be a mess. Our low today is 4 degrees and the high is only 21! brrrrrrr! ~Anj
