The Weather

Yes, groundhog day was it, with a detailed explanation.
Every now and then I get ridiculed for my (2 to 3 days) weather forecast.
My spruce barometer.
If the spruce branch looks up, we are in a phase of good weather; if it hangs down, we are in a phase of bad weather

11C / 51F this morning, and the atmosphere looks and feels unstable.

The first of the small spring flowers popped up in the last day or so, but I expect we will have at least one more brutal cold snap before tornado season.

That blue gas can still foul your plugs.

Just spreading the love :hbeat:

The youngest had been out for a few hours at -17c, we tried getting her back in but she said "It's not cold, I dont want to go inside". 8 year old, about 3 hours at -17c and she's all smiles. Quite hungry now though.


About 12 years ago we did an addition to the house and left the dirt from the basement as a decent sized hill in the back yard. Dear daughter loved to sled on it and would not come inside when it was really cold. Now the dogs just like the hill for strategic positioning. Maybe also to scritch teir back as the slide down also.
 
It’s Cold Today

Simon, be careful with that rock, you saw what happened in “The Blob” right?

Mid-morning a fox came to our garden, she went to some shade in the flower bed, made herself comfortable on the springy plant bed and after cleaning herself and yawning a lot, she decided to have a snooze. The whole afternoon.
