Our snow is here!! (4 pics)

18 years ago

They downgraded our 4-8" to 2-4" but we are getting every bit of that. It has been snowing since I got up a few hours ago, and it looks very wintery out! :-) I am a wimp and took pics from inside, of course...

I did heat it,I don't believe it ever dropped below 14F-that was not my plan originally(keeping it that warm)but I planted the Agaves and some other cactus in Dec,so, I decided to keep it a little warmer to protect them.I had to remove the front half over the cactus in mid March as we had some early 70F weather and the temp went up to 100F in there! to much stress on them,it also may explain why the cactus are budding so early,although quite a few normally flower in June.

Southwestmissouri... you can do it! LagoMar, here's a couple of pics of the boxes in winter. There are 3 screw-in florescent light bulbs in the top of each box to give them some heat. You'd be surprised how much heat builds up in the boxes just from these energy efficient light bulbs! I've got a buddy here in Utah that has modified my design and made his boxes collapsible. I just store mine at the back of my lot behind my garden shed. Here's a pic of the Trachy before the 8' box went on top, taken around the end of October. Here's a pic of the box on top of the railroad ties in Winter. Here's a pic of the box over one of the smaller palms:

Looks nice. Mine came into full bloom about 5 days ago, about a week earlier than usual. I really doubt that snow would hurt the blossoms. We only got a trace of snow here in Ogden this morning but lots of rain. The prayer was answered.

here in orlando last summer we set all time records for most days above 90, it was something like 110 days, normal is under 80 days. now last night we just set an all time record for most freezes in a single season, we've had 12 and in all previous recorded time we had a total of 13 freezes, over nearly 100 yrs. this continues for another yr, no one in FL will be growing produce...it's too expensive for growers when they might lose a crop to a freeze. a heat record & a freeze record in the same yr, somethings wrong. statistically that does not happen...now we just need to top our 3 hurricanes in orlando over 6 weeks record of 2004 lol it is much more expensive to live in orlando but everyone always says the weather makes it worth while, not this yr thou LOL it will take yrs of perfection to keep me here...miami & the keys are looking alot better i'd rather take my chances w/ hurricanes!~ liz

It looks so pretty. I love snow when I don't have to go out in it and I can snuggle up with a fire and a cup of hot chocolate.

OKwriter, you can't imagine what I would give to see that snow and be in it (for awhile)! It's been 32 years since we left snow country.

I especially love the top picture - a wonderful combination of textures and colors and light.

We just got our dusting Rita. Probably close to an inch is all. We wanted more. Yours sure is pretty. I love snowy days. Are you gonna cook some stew, chili or chicken 'n dumplings? Maybe some brownies or have some hot cocoa? :)

Gee, it has FINALLY slowed to just flurries! It is pretty to look at, but we have a strong north wind, so wind chills make it feel like about 20 degrees outside. Brrrrr.

Thank you, summer, for reminding me that I need to thaw something out for dinner. :-)

We were going to do a little shopping today, but I think we've decided to wait until tomorrow. DH has been working in his shop - ummmm, he's still trying to finish it, and we've only lived here 3+ years now... He just came in for lunch and is watching basketball, so I think I'll rearrange furniture in my office/spare bedroom. It's not a big overhaul because I don't have much room, but I've been wanting to tweak it a little. That means unhooking my computer and all of the associated stuff just to slide it a few feet. *sigh* But it seems like a good day to do it.

BTW, I'm taking orders for snow. Let's see, ronm80 wants some and sable wants some. Any other takers? LOL!

Hey! I didn't order any snow, but we have about 4 inches and it is still coming down!

Glad I don't need to go anywhere today.

I'll take some, Rita! It hasn't snowed here since 1985! A couple of years ago several small towns around 30 miles from here had snow on Christmas day. But it missed us.

Love your pictures!!!

Rita, I just put a pic on the daily picture thread. We have a light dusting at this time. Started about 11 AM, and looks like it is taking a break right now.

I am sure glad I worked as hard as I did yesterday, cause I wouldn't want to have to do any limb removal now.

There's still a bunch of peeps without power here in Tulsa.

Moni, I talked to a food friend of mine in Tulsa today. She is STILL without power. :-(

I have all of the junk off my desk. Unplugging my computer now... back soon...
