It sure doesn't feel like spring here! At least, the chronic air inversion :/ and frozen, smoky stillness of
early winter is only a memory.
It's the feel, I suppose.
Windchill ! The afternoon high was 46F yesterday but with gusts over 30mph, it wasn't comfortable outdoors. The possibility of rain/snow has been in the forecast, it seems, forever! Very little rain has fallen here. Under scuttling clouds, with dark rain streaks all around, it was snowing here yesterday but at 46, melting on contact
.
Another windy day and then we get a break tomorrow the Weather Service says. Then back to wind and rain/snow possibilities
.
The furnace in the greenhouse needs to start churning out BTU's
. We are coming up to a very late start in doing that but that is as planned. I have been driven to distraction
by the recent cold, cloudy springs here and plants that were ready to go outdoors but too soon! Things probably won't be much different this year. The plants are only about a week late but, even without re-potting, life here in the south window is becoming cramped.
Now. Fire up the furnace out there while we have windchill in the teens? To save
$$, I
may be able to get thru the week by moving some of the babies out during the relatively sunny days. Need to be careful tho'. I can see me trying to get them back in the house with 35mph wind, heavy dark clouds and hail or something beginning to fall horizontally

in the land of fresh air!
