Aubrey Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 And tomorrow's supposed to be 85. But dh won't let me plant anything yet because it could still FREEZE & the way our weather goes, it WILL. :w00t: :banghead: ETA: Whoa. That banghead dude is a lot angrier looking than I expected.

Unicorn. Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Awful isn't it?! Dh said it was 89 here today. I had to turn on the (gulp) air conditioner this evening! I am really dreading the summer months this year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yslek Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Wow! We might get snow later this week... :glare: I don't want it to be in the 80s, but in the 60s would be nice. I might find it easier to curb my tea/coffee consumption if I'm not so cold all the time... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Snowing here tonight. Dh is taking the day off tomorrow, and he and ds are going skiing :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It got down to 32 the other night, and now it's in the 80s. Crazy! (but totally normal for here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivetails Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It's -36C(-33F) here this morning. I need a smiley wearing a scarf! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 We had a high of 17 the other day. Ugh. Yesterday we had a heat wave - it hit 40!!! I'm very much looking forward to even the 50s! Here's hoping that the 80s are NOT a taste of what you'll get this summer and that it'll stay nice and not humid for you.

MamaT Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It is 35 degrees right now in the mountains of NC. 80 would be a little much, but the 60's would be nice. Looking forward to spring . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalknot Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 A joke in our family is that the only thing more fickle than I, is the Texas weather :) Yesterday I was surprised to see that most of our hibernating pets are already awake. It's just been too warm, for too long of a stretch. I'm thinking about living dangerously, and planting in early March any how - it's hard to resist the urge!

Amy loves Bud Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Don't you love it! I can't stand being cold, so this is awesome, IMO. But I'm not putting any plants out yet, either. March 16. That's the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elise1mds Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It *is* hard to resist the urge, and it's only 70 here today. I got out yesterday and ripped some stuff out of the garden to prep it for tilling and fertilization in a few weeks, though. We have to wait till mid-April to plant... and I usually have to wait a week longer because of the weird micro-ecosystem tat we have in our yard. Everything here blooms a week later than anywhere else on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindyinTexas Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Don't you love it! I can't stand being cold, so this is awesome, IMO. I AGREE Amy. Nothing better than Texas heat. I finished weeding my garden yesterday and started adding compost to turn over. I did plant 2 of my 20 tomato (root bound) plants, I just couldn't help myself. Since we are between San Antonio, Houston, and Corpus I am thinking we might not get another freeze. Who Knows???:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey in TX Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 February in Texas is unpredictable. Spring begins on Valentine's Day, at least in my mind. It can easily be 80' for a week and then plummet to freezing temps. I adore working outside in this weather. Kids want to be outside all day. Tempted to blow off school and make it up in August, when temps "plummet" to a chilly 90'F. ;) Break out the bikini and grab a bit of sunshine! (Just keep the parka close by...just in case.)

Elohcin Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Well it's -2 here right now with a wind chill of -24 and a blustery, snowy day. I think 80 sounds fabulously cozy!

elegantlion Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Ha! Ha! My kids are in the swimming pool right now for a recess break. Sure is beautiful outside! Dh mentioned looking at pools yesterday. Today he reminded me that the mid-west, where we used to live, might be getting a snowstorm. I looked at him strangely and thought, "Oh yes, it is still February." The south, the land of flip-flops and flowers in February. yes, my flowers are already blooming. Gotta love it.

TXMomof4 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 On the way to pick up my son, the thermometer in my car said 88. The fruit trees are blooming. The other trees are just beginning to get that green tinge to them. Daffodils, the crocus, hyacinths etc are all blooming. It will be about another week and the arboretum will have their Dallas Blooms started. All that to say, I'm in heaven! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Katia Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 It was really sunny here yesterday, and I thought it was really warm so I opened the windows and got some fresh air in the house. It was 47 degrees! Today we have sleet. sigh. I'm sure it will hit the 80's by late June....maybe July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Send some of that heat this way, I'm ready for spring! :D Forget spring. Here we have "Nice" and "Summer".

Halftime Hope Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 because it could still FREEZE & the way our weather goes, it WILL. :w00t: Aubrey, Sat night they are forecasting we'll have weather in the low thirties if not a hard freeze. Just so ya' know.... I have a housefull of teenage boys coming for the weekend (annual youth retreat) so I'm thankful it'll be cooler...the room they'll be sleeping in is too warm for teenage bodies, otherwise!

TeacherZee Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 We went from glorious sunshine and the snow was actually MELTING at 11am. I was so excited. Then I looked out of the window at 3pm and I was faced with a full blown snowstorm:glare: At that point I curled up and watched Foyle's War.

Easter is usually the cut off for freezing weather (remember the snow on Easter last year lol). The 80 degree temps are very nice though, and my windows have been open all week!

flyingmommy Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It's been lovely here for several days in a row. Unfortunately, that means all the Bradford Pears are blooming and I'm allergic. Apparently, so is everyone else in the house. We can't even enjoy the beautiful weather because we're all sick with allergies turned into colds. Ugh! I've learned to watch the Crepe Myrtle trees. They absolutely will not bloom till there's no chance of another freeze. When the Crepe Myrtles have leaves, it's officially spring! jeannie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
