AHHH!! FINALLY SOME HEAT

[capi75rs]

Temps in central IL finally in upper 60s, was able to be outside in T shirt, even trenched new electrical service to my garden shed. Had spotty frost still in the ground every now and then but got the trench dug wire in conduit and ran to shed and hooked up. Got tractor hooked up with BB and filled in the trench. Just my luck, this weekend is full of T storms, 90% chance. Oh well at least it's warm

It's been so warm (and dry) in Texas that the weathermen on the nightly news are warning people to not set out spring flowers until the middle of March. The weather has been so warm here that it easily feels more like April than March. It would be easy to plant early and get frost-bitten plants with a mid-March cold snap. I hope all of you in the midwest and northern states have moderation in your weather the rest of the season. The folks in the midwest have sure had a tough time with the floods last spring and the tough winter you have almost made it through. You have both my sympathy and respect for your tenacity.

It has been great. We changed the oil in equipment, washed and waxed equipment. This has got me ready for spring. I am planning on getting the planter out later today and go thru it. I am sure it will need a few things done to it before we use it. I think pretty much everything else is ready to go. If this rain would miss us I think we could put on some andhydrous next weekend. I saw one guy chiseling this week and one guy plowing but it is a little wet where I am yet.

The farmer behind me has already planted and the fields are sprouting.
Driving out to the farm this weekend I saw a couple of large Deere's pulling seed drills in fields.

OPEN mouth and insert FOOT Highs tomorrow in low 30's and lows in the lower 20's. I knew it wouldn't last, but hey thats Illinois. Our motto is if you don't like the weather just wait till tomorrow and it will change

Would you be interested in some rain by chance. 3+ inches in 24 hours. I was watching my horse play in the pond yesterday. The only problem is.........I don't have a pond

Hiya,

I know what you mean, we had 8 inches of fresh snow and temps in the teens, yep definitely spring.

If it was still winter we would have had 2 feet and temps of 10 below....
