Wow, what a weather change

As of 7pm here in Northeast Ohio we are having a mini blizzard! Winds may gust up 50 mph.

I'm on the ocean south of Boston and we're having a hideous nor'easter which may break records. The harbor is flooded and we have two more high tides to go before the incessant rain subsides. We are comfy as we are on a higher level but we may lose power. We've lived through so many years of this that we have it pretty much covered on what to do. I pray for all my neighbors who are on are near the ocean. It's going to be bad.

Again, into the mid-80s today where I live in Florida. Forecasters are guessing that it will cool down to only the mid-70s by Saturday. Typical high this time of year is 70. We went from winter to summer. Maybe we will get a bit of spring weather after all.

We're forecast to have a windy night, but thankfully dry and above freezing. Take care further north, ya'll!

Dorothy, Yippee! Woohoo! Yeehaw! How's that for sounds of celebration in behalf of your wonderful rainfall? I'm so glad you received that rain and hope more falls when the next round of autumn rains target our state. I was watching the radar last night and thinking it looked like rain was falling there....but with the way storms break and skip areas in this state, I never completely trust the radar znd was waiting to hear you say "it rained". We have had more rain than y'all this summer, and I think that's a first. So, based on what I've observed since moving here, I'll have a better weather summer than you approximately 1 out of every 12 years? It is unfortunate you apparently have to have a dry summer in order for me to have a wet summer. And, it really wasn't that wet. In July all the rain fell in a few days and then we were dry for a long time. In fact, our August water bill was the largest one we've had since moving here, but we were watering a great deal to keep the garden producing and a band of green around the house and barn/garage, and watering all those containers and keeping water in the lily pond, so I know why the water bill was so bad, which doesn't make me like it any more. Hopefully that pattern of a couple of rainy days followed by several dry weeks won't repeat itself in September. As grateful as we are for this week's rain, I sure hope we have more before October. I would have thought that all that rain would have meant no fires, but one department got paged our to a grassfire at the other end of the county yesterday. Maybe that end of the county missed out on the rain that hit us. Have fun planting the fall garden. I walked 3 dogs this morning, one mile each, so I covered a lot of ground and you wouldn't believe how much the pastures have greened up in just a couple of days. It's like a whole different place.....and I'm sure the local ranchers are relieved to know they'll have some grass to feed the cattle a while longer. The ranchers planting winter wheat should be happy now too. Dawn

I didnÂt want to start a debate on what global warming isÂ my comment was an obviously failed attempt at humor. IÂm fully aware that global warming in reality does not necessarily mean rising temperatures. It does mean that we will experience erratic and more sever fluctuations in "normal" conditions. Not clueless here, IÂve been aware of the issue since the 1980Âs. Back when the concern was being described as "the greenhouse effect". Wishing everyone success with their growing season this year, regardless of weather conditions, Bill

I love Matelasse, I have several coverlets and bedspreads in various colors and prints of Matelasse. I will add a light weight fleece blanket in the winter. I don't like a lot of covers, I generally am not under the covers much. I will have the cleaning lady take the blanket off this week. Might change to a new pretty summery print Matelasse I bought but have never used yet. I currently have my favorite one which is raspberry color on the bed. I find one of those with the sheets is just right, I prefer a very cool room. The ceiling fan is on high all year, plus I have a 10" fan that is aimed at my head on all the time, we have a good size metal antique style fan on a stand that I have on a fair amount of time. I must have lots of air movement on me, my Dad was the same way. I feel like I can't breathe if I don't. I really think that we could have gone with out the blanket this winter since it never got very cold.

I'm in So. CA and have taken a chance that the pots will survive the rain we've had, but yesterday I decided that they've had enough. Starting to worry a little about the echeverias which trap water among the leaves, near the stems. I brought some in and set them on newspaper. It was surprising how much water wicked out. Another storm is coming in tomorrow (Mon.), and later today I'll bring them in or cover. The tricky one is the 4' cactus. I'm thinking maybe a dry cleaners bag. Just adding that we are loving every single drop of rain.

Right now there's more wind than snow at my place.

My aunt just emailed that her daughter in Michigan told her they went from 65 degrees today to pouring rain to 6" of snow.

The winter storms of snow, ice and then rain have left Oklahoma and moved off. We got all the way up to 63F AND had sun!!

But it was windy as all get out. Of course, it's March and Oklahoma.

And I had just removed the protective tent cover from over my tea pot topiary Wednesday "because it was so nice and sunny". ugh. This morning when I went out to the paper box, I looked over the garden gate to see the topiary enveloped in snow and ice. :( I had time last night, like a half hour, to go out and re-cover it before the storm hit, but of course I didn't. An old, tall, juniper in the middle of the courtyard is bent way over too. I removed the snow and ice from the affected side, but it didn't immediately spring back up this time like usual.

Stay safe!

Here in southern California it looks like winter again. Last week we got cold winds and little cold fronts rushing through with no rain and finally it is raining a bit today. I was enjoying the warm but prefer snuggling up and getting some rain!

Rose - it looks just like that at our house too! Our power flickered, but didn't go out last night. This morning around 10:00, it went out and stayed that way. They just restored it about 1:00 this afternoon, so not too bad. Hope everyone else is safe and stays that way.

Beautiful weather here, and has been for several days. Now, if this will just hold for about 3 months.....maybe the mud will dry up.
