False Spring

Jan 24, 2018 08:51

I've checked the forecast, and in my neck of the woods we're going from deep winter to something much more temperate. I kind of hate that when it happens, and it does, every year, although there is some float as to when. I generally regard February as our coldest month. That's when, if we see minus temperatures, they are most likely to occur. And the gyrations always come on suddenly. 60F to 30F or -5 in the course of a day or two. But this mild weather does offer an opportunity, while it lasts, to do some yard clean up, deadheading, and pruning, and potentially spraying of beneficial oils, if it doesn't rain too much.

Last Frost is Allegedly April 15th for me. But There is always the potential for Dogwood Winter (April Snow) or Blackberry Winter (May Snow), to kill the fruit that is trying to set on the trees and damage vulnerable plants.

How is it likely to be where you are at?

weather: cold snaps
