How's The Weather By You?

Snowing again. Haven't seen the lawn for way too long.

We got some freezing rain, not much, no snow, very cold this morning. We will barely get above freezing for the high today.

rkunsaw.... It sounds like you got it much worse than we did. You're a bit further north.

Ozarkgal, I thought you were farther north. I thought you mentioned Mountain Home once. We bought some cattle from there once. Just where is your country hideaway?
We got a little sleet this morning but not much.
 
Yes, rkunsaw you're right. We are much further north of you, we're in Izard county about 50 miles southeast of Mountain Home. I was mixing Clarksville up with Clarkridge.

We're really getting hit with freezing rain today. The trees, fences, and powerlines have a thick coating of ice now and the flag is frozen in position.

I thought we lucked out this morning when we got up there was only a thin coating of ice on the deck, now it's a skating rink.

Hope you got the worst of your's yesterday! How's dem peas, comin'?
 
Ozarkgal

I guess we stayed above freezing this morning cause all we got today was rain.

Peas haven't come up yet, there hiding under the snow.

Be careful if you go out, those slick spots like to hide then jump under your feet.
 
We got quite a bit of rain Thursday night but that was it. Yee Haw there's mud coming thru the paddock gate again - it will be dust by Sunday - lol

Cloudy and high of 62 today. I really feel for the folks that got all the snow. Things are bad when Nebraska threatens to close schools due to snow:winter1:
 
Snowin' and blowin' here since last night, been hibernating in the house. Made it out to the porch though to prep the bbq for some rib eyes, will have to brush off a bit more snow before we can start the coals. Also put on my old moonboots to make a few paths for the doggie to do his deeds. Lazy day. :sleep:

Sounds like a good day to snuggle in eat some good food and be lazy. We're in for some bad weather for the next couple of days, so ready for spring!

Hope the weather doesn't get too bad for you! I'm with you though, even though we haven't had much of a winter yet, I'm ready for spring! :butterfly:
 
Did someone mention SPRING ?????
C'mon.. Its only February and the big snow month up here is March..
We have had 5 feet of the white stuff so far this winter with more to come...

SPRING ???? Please come back some time in early May and ask me again....

We don't plant our vegetables in the garden till the first week-end in June because of the frost.... They MUST come out by labour day at the latest or be subjected to frost then as well......
 
We've had a couple of nice days. I poured some more concrete yesterday. That should be the end of that project.I've got one more job to do involving concrete and then back to gardening and trail making.

More rain coming though and I need the garden to dry out so I can till again and plant taters.

Steve, that's an awfully short growing season but there are plenty of things you can grow. Some vegetables like frost.

They're predicting 90% chance of thunderstorms and possible snow today...so far it's sunny and beautiful. Chilly at 48* right now. We'll see.

We will see a warm & breezy low 60's today; high wind warnings start around five; rain tonight; BIG rain Tuesday with possible snow mixed in the rest of the week.

I need to be outside doing "stuff" but I poked one eye with a hay stem Sunday, when I was smelling the hay (OG, you know why we smell hay-lollol). The barn lights hadn't come up yet as they take three minutes, and I couldn't see the hay stem coming straight at me.

Mr. TWHRider has some sort of opthalmic antibiotic with Dex in it from the time he did the same thing. If I don't see a big improvement by Tuesday, I'll go to the eye doctor but, so far, the stuff if working. OG, I didn't know Dex was used in so many different ways and on people too!:p


Right now I have a patch over the bad eye. It tisses me off because the sun still bothers me and now I think I'll be stuck in the house:distress:

OG, how are your fingers???
 
Ouch.....I was always fearful of doing that. Took to closing my eyes until I got my nose where I wanted it. I got conjunctivitis one time cleaning a hoof when some of the dirt flipped up into my eye...ahhh, such are the perils of horse ownership. We should get together and compare horsie war wounds sometime. It would probably be a book...lol

Hopefully, by tomorrow you'll be back to your barn chores and regular routine.....TWH, remember to use the eye closing technique before sniffing hay next time.

The tiniest particle of anything in the eye is so irritating, and a poke like that must really hurt...hope all is well with your eye TWH. For us non-horsey folks, why do you smell hay, for the smell of mold or urine?

We had around 9 inches of snowfall, but today was sunny and in the low 30's, so it really helped melt off the walkways. They say well get another round soon, but I'm ready for it. It's good for the little bit of grass I have left of my back lawn.
 
We're told that here in the Central Valley of Kalifornistan that the temps will be mid to high 60s culminating in the first 70°+ day on Friday. What we need is more rain - which means more snow in the high Sierras.

I'm watching the wind forecast which predicts only a couple of days. If Wed/Thurs is calm enough, I may actually go fishing for the first time since November. (The older I get the less adverse I'll put up with.)

For us non-horsey folks, why do you smell hay, for the smell of mold or urine?Yes to both:) Mold if the hay is put up without having cured enough; not always the fault of the grower but sometimes sections of hay fields can be thicker, therefore don't cure at the same rate as the rest of the field. If there's too much moisture in the cut grass, it can mold once it's baled. In turn, that can often start an incindiary fire when the hay is newly cut and stored, which is why we stack newly cut hay sorta loose and I run big fans on it for a few weeks.

Urine because I have barn cats and now one of those male cats from next door has been coming in the barn. I just threw out six bales of hay ($42) from the other side of the barn because I smelled cat urine on one bale and found either Oppossum or Racoon droppings on another one. Oppossum are known carriers of EPM (Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis) which affects the nervous system. It either results in death or a horse with varying degrees of permanent nerve damage that, often, is no longer ridable. We have checked under those pallets a gazillion times and nobody is living under there but the critters must be coming in at night during inclement weather.

We had around 9 inches of snowfall, but today was sunny and in the low 30's, so it really helped melt off the walkways. They say well get another round soon, but I'm ready for it. It's good for the little bit of grass I have left of my back lawn.

Denver made it to our local news, Monday. Texas is really getting beat up by the blizzard and have been in our news almost non-stop:( I hope you get the water you need without the damage.

I may still have to get to the eye doctor, even though my eye much better by today. I keep saying "I'll give it one more day" because I have that prescription antiobitic/steroid. Still-in-all, if it really doesn't have a Miraculous Healing by Wednesday, I'm going to have bite this one and swear all the way to the eye doctor; I'm getting very little accomplished with a patch over one eye - lol lol lol.

Fishwisher, do you get the affects of the Santa Ana's? When I lived off the 215 between Sun City and Hemet, we would get those sickening winds. Boy I hated that. Sickening warm winds going in the reverse - creepy creepy creepy when an Easterner such as myself wasn't used to them - lol lol
 
Good Morning Forum, Hope everyone is well today. I'm great except for stinking allergies that have reared their ugly heads because of the wind over the weekend. We're gonna have some 60's today here in Vegas and of course sunny.
TWRider hope the eye is better today, you too SeaBreeze it's an eye epidemic round here.

I'm about 75 miles east of San Francisco, so we're way north of the Santa Ana winds. But I know of them from growing up in SoCal. And a few years ago I thought one of those wind storms was going to blow my motor home over while in that area.

We get north winds up here and the well known Delta winds.
 
I know, can't believe that Amarillo Texas got 19 inches of snow! :eek: Texas has been suffering through drought, but I think they'd prefer rain. Not too many 4-wheel drives around there for mobility.

TWHRider, hope you don't need to go to the docs, but vision is so precious, you have to take care. Never had to wear an eye-patch, must be annoying to have that section of your vision blocked off.
 
SNOWING !!!!!!!!!!!

Still well into winter up here.. By NO means is it over.. Not by a long shot..
We will most likely keep on getting snow till the first week of April but the temps will be milder as we go on..
I generally don't take out the tractor till the middle of April..
We don't plant anything in the vegetable garden till the first week-end in June...

The good part of all this is there are NO bugs out.................... YET !!!!!!
 
We had several inches of snow yesterday, today the sun is out melting the walks. I know what you mean about those bugs Steve, when we camped in Canada and Alaska years ago the mosquitos fattened up nicely just on me, they left hubby alone. I soaked myself and my hair in oily Deet poison, but that didn't help much. I must've lost at least a pint of blood...then the horseflies in the sunny areas...had to take the boat out into the middle of the lake to escape them. Always a few wanting to tag along.:mask:
 
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was....wet.

Rained all night and just stopped about an hour ago. Water is pouring over our dam but not quite as much in the picture in the rkunsaw album. About 3 inches of water over the dock.
