weather

The weather was gorgeous today - 70 degrees! Yesterday I cleaned out all the old plants from the garden at the new house. They had some blackberry bushes - the thorny kind. Gary was so happy to have berry bushes but the thorns were driving me crazy so I took them out and promised to plant some thornless blackberries. Well today we went to the Tractor Supply store (to find farmer Acton some overalls LOL!) and lo and behold, they had some bare root thornless blackberry plants. So I got six and planted them. I guess it's a good thing I cleaned out the beds yesterday and the weather was perfect for cleaning and planting!

we had rain,sleet snow yesterday, i'm so tired of it all. went to bed around 9:30 shortly after the phone rang, it was the sherrif so hubby had to leave to sand some roads, about 12:30 his cell rang i assumed he had gotten home so i didn't get up, well then the home phone rang so i get up looking for hubby and he wasn't here he had forgotten his cell phone (which he never does) so i answer the phone it's the sherrif office looking for hubby so i tell them he is out but forgot his phone, so they get him on the cb radio. he got home just shortly after that.
I had noticed when i got up at 12:30 that there was a car in the neighbors drive way running, didn't think anything about it, well after hubby got home it was still there running, about 1AM i here loud music, it's coming from the car geezz!!! hubby had to get up at 3:30 am to go back to work wich means i have to get up early to take care of the dogs and get myself ready for work. This is the way it has been for the past couple of months, i am so tired of interupted sleep because of this weather. I need spring to get here fast.

Oh Lynne, what a bummer. I didn't realize your hubby worked for the city, or county? I do understand that as I had some relatives growing up that did the same. Oh and I lived in Oklahoma where we had quite a bit of ice/snow every winter.

I'll be glad to give you some warm weather - it's been in the 80's for the past several days, had to run the AC in the house. Today was 65 where it is supposed to be this time of year - but it will be back in the 70's tomorrow and for the rest of the week. BLEH! I fear this means we are going to have an early and HOT summer. I hate the summer, just like you hate the winter; although I will say a hard winter is much more disruptive than a hot summer - so I guess I'll shut up now.

We had a two hour delay yesterday morning due to the ice. Man....I really really hate winter! Today is cold, but suppose to get into the 40's and then.....Thursday evening 1-3 inches of ice/snow by Friday morning. Yuk...Yuk...Yuk!!!! Probably end up with another 2 hour delay on Friday....we'll see.

It rained and snowed here yesterday... I think it was around -15 degrees C. When I went outside after work, the doors of my car were frozen shut! I was finally able to get in my passenger door and throw my weight against the drivers side to open it! It was pretty icy on the roads too and I narrowly avoided an accident (turning my wheel so I could slide BESIDE a truck instead of into it!) and making me have to take a big detour because of it!

On the bright side, I saw the sunrise this morning. It's not pitch black on the way to work anymore. That means spring is coming! The snow should be gone by May... we're almost there!

We're under a windchill warning today. Currently it's -32 degrees and snowing, with a windchill of -44 degrees (-47.2 F). I didn't even realize until I saw all my friends complaining on facebook about how cold it is! Wimps lol! Maybe I was just in too much of a hurry this morning to feel it!
