Hey Keith, hi!
Yeah, it was early to uncover stuff, but sometimes it's a toss-up getting rid of the plastic covers and all that unwanted humidity.
Our south facing place was pretty warm, nice to have Tshirt weather in the afternoons.
Saw that -9C forecast but nothing's getting covered again here.
How'd the plants look that the pup uncovered?
And I bet your GH plants look fabulous.
Paul, the jet stream seems stuck. Alaska is setting warmth records day after day.
We're drier than a popcorn fart (as the saying goes), no rain to speak of.
I can almost hear the rubbing of bureaucrats' hands as they plan the next round of water rate increases for the "dwindling resource". ARGH!
On Friday's Bill Maher TV show, with guest The Science Guy (Nye), it was mentioned that eastern snow could be shipped out west, even in a pipeline (intended for oil), and Nye said if anyone could come up with a desalination plant that uses less energy, that'd certainly be an answer to rising sea levels that will eventually force evacuation of Florida and Louisiana...and the water could be used to irrigate California, despite it being 3,000 miles from where the snow is. Sounds like science fiction, but gotta admit it provided a glimmer of hope where otherwise there had been none in the sea level rise scenario.
I'm rambling...that's what happens when palms are outside in BC in February
Let's hope the eastern cold finally ends early March.
I simply cannot imagine the hardships for everyone, but it sure provided some great YouTube clips of tossing the cat out in an 8 foot snowdrift at the door so he can do his business.
Hang in there, easterners.
We in the Okanagan won't be able to afford water on our toothbrushes this year.
