When does it start to warm up were you live?

[CDN Farm Boy]

It's Feb.8 2015 and 1 degree above and snowing and blowing like crazy.About a foot of new snow and another on the way.We are in Northern NY right on the Canadian border.It won't be breaking here for another six wks.
It has been real nasty the last couple of weeks........calling for below zero tonite and for the rest of the week.
On the plus side...lots of tractor time moving snow.

I'm only an hour north of the border straight above you and we only got 4" and maybeeeee another 4 tomorrow. 200 driveways cleared in the last 5 hrs, finally get to stop for breakfast

Spring will be here when I can finally wash all the salt off my car and truck which should be in May until then I keep shoveling.

Will get near 90 later this week, then straight to 100 plus after that 120 plus over the summer. We are in PERPETUAL Gullible warming.

I thought your 120+ was a "tongue in cheek" remark, but out of idle curiosity I looked up Coachella because I had never heard of it. There are millions of places I have never heard of, so no offence. What I did find was a very interesting report "The Coachella Climate Action Plan". I noticed that in 2011, Coachella experienced four, five-day heat waves, where temperatures exceeded the extreme heat threshold of 113°F.

That is hot!! 113 is just about the hottest I have ever experienced and that was when I was farming in Australia. I have no faith in future projections, but I am sure you do not want it to become any warmer than now.

It will warm up for some days in mid March here. Then a relatively warm Apr. Then a rainy cold May. LAst frost in early May. We're into a bumper crop of snow the past few weeks. And going to continue throughout tonight and tomorrow.

Currently -14 c with wind chill of -29 c. Don,t expect the snow to leave before the beginning of April, the ice to leave before the middle of April and will be greatfull if the frost is gone by May 1 st. Welcome to northern Ontario!

How about your area? When do you start to warm up?

I'm beginning to wonder...

We'll start dropping 28% on wheat within a week or so. Pasture and hay ground fertilizer within two weeks. Its 50 with slight drizzle now. 50-60 for the last few days. My fescue based pastue/hay ground will grow a little if temps stay above 45 and I can get a little N on it. No big snow forecast anytime soon. I'm 50'ish and I've seen more white Easters than white Christmas's. Plan to seed tobacco trays for the greenhouses around March 1. Plant corn April 15, Beans May 1, Set tobacco May 1-15. First cutting of hay, mid May. Calving has already started. Traditionally 'taters are planted on Good Friday along with other cold crops. To me spring can't be far away when I catch and likewise eat the first mess of Crappie.

Well I guess " warming up" is a relative term. Above 0 c would sound like a heat wave. How long is your growing season?

It's a strange year for us. Right now it's above average temps and the snow has been melting for the last few days. It barely hits freezing at night and gets up to 8*C some days. If these warm temps keep up the snow will likely be gone before the end of the week. Last year there was a foot of snow along the sides of our driveway on April 1. This year it looks like there won't be any be the end of the week. Awesome!!!!!!

My grandfather and father always said that here you didn't put out plants until May 10th, but it does get warmer earlier here now. I've planted gardens as early as April 24th, though I have had a few times when I thought we were going to get a late frost.

Now I try to hold back from planting a garden until May 1st, but when you start getting all those nice warm days in mid to late April and the soil starts warming up, it's awfully hard to hold back until then.
