Yet another "last" snow and cold front moved through. Had to pull all less cold hardier palms back in the garage, but left a few out.

Yup. Same here. It's 1C and snow if falling quickly and accumulating!

Spring will come though, right?

^^^^ but your in Canada! This kind of weather is almost unheard of here in Nebraska for this time of year.

Thats sucks-I may have to shoot myself if that happens here!

Pretty cold today after 81F a few days ago

Yea Jim I was sitting out on the patio myself surrounded by all my palms enjoying a cold beer and thinking "Spring is FINALLY here"

Even planted a Pygmy Date Palm in the ground for the season since they are so cheap to buy. Amazingly, so far still looks pretty good!

Yall need to keep that cold stuff way over there. Its been in the 80's with lows of 63F. Just drug 300 potted plants out for the summer and I really dont feel like dragging em back inside.

I second that it has been in the 80's for almost a week and I love it. raining today but still not cold out. keep all that cold stuff someplace else.

Well, somebody sent it back here...

Brutal strong and cold winds, freezing tonight.
Cold rain yesterday and this morning.

I'm done, not gonna drag stuff back inside.
The buggers are on their own now.

Yeah, same sh... here for friday. snow, freezing pallets and wintery mix....damn it, all my snow just almost gone and will have another white blanket tomorrow. The normal day time average its 50F, Halalalala, whats wrong ?

Scott, we are not suppose to get snow in april here. Normaly the last winter storm we get here (depend of the year) is in at the end of march. But sometime its happen in april, every 3-5 years.
But you guy's, after having hot weather, i think its not funny to see a big change of temp. like that

Ben

stay warm Scott!

That s my turn guy's...Geeee...almost 10cm of new snow on the ground ...im pretty tired of that. Toke some pics :

Ben, still great looking palms! If we all can get over this damn snow and cold!

no snow or anything like that but it went from the mid 80's to the mid 50's for highs today..low projected at 32F..next weekend everything in the house is going out live or die I am tired of messing with it.

Looks like a repeat of last weeks weather next week with more snow from Den to Minn

70 degrees here in WA. Love the West Coast

Hardyjim.....did you cover anything back up?

I'm looking right now at flurries outside my window and rain for the next 6 days after having rain for 6 days prior..... this certainly isn't like last year!

Nope-it hasn't even been below freezing since the beginning of the month...


looks like our drought is over,they are saying after next week that some areas may have received 4-8"+ of rainfall,
that said,I may put the rain cover over the cactus shelter Sunday night/Monday as they have already seen 2.7" this month.

Beny great looking palms, despite the challenges.
But they do deserve a nice warm spell.

Barb

Thx Barb, yes, the forecast predict 13-18c for all the next week ...finally. All the snow we received yesterday will be gone tomorrow...still 3 palms to unprotect, 1 Butia and 2 Trachy.
