Baby it's cold outside

Evo

I didn't think the snow would stick since it had been raining last night, but I was wrong. They're also predicting an accumulation of 5-8 inches before the snow ends Saturday. With a high predicted of 51F, it should all melt quickly. I'm glad that I went to the pharmacy yesterday.

Really i am getting fried here in my place and you are freezing?

Half the country is having snow and freezing weather.

I would really be happy to have snow.I have never experienced it here.

^ I've never seen or heard of anything like this! A "galloping" ground glacier in a flat region? Does this qualify as a true glacier? Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? It seems to be either a very fast glacier or a very slow avalanche if the ground has some slope to it.

I saw something similar back in the winter of 1963 (though no houses involved) when the river Humber in the UK froze. When the ice broke up, a combination of wind and tide pushed a layer of broken ice across a road running along the river bank.

That was a bit more exciting to watch, because there were "mini ice floes" 10 feet across being forced up on end and then collapsing and breaking up. You could hear the noise from several miles away.

In that case there was no property to damage - though ironically the ice took out all the marker posts showing the road position and water depth when the road flooded at high tides, which happened a few times every year.

Talking of ice, I think we just had summer in the UK. There were couple of days of temperatures into the low 20s (C) and now the forecast is heading back below 10.

Still, think positive - It's too cold for the grass to grow, so it doesn't need cutting!

Yeah. This could be wind driven ice and snow off a nearby lake, especially if the lake level is elevated. I got hung up on the word "glacier". There haven't been any glaciers in Minnesota (US) for over 12-14,000 years. They don't form in a single season or move at that speed.

Temperatures last night dropped into the 30sF. I sure hope that we have a spring and it doesn't just go into searing heat.

In the NE US, we've had days up to the mid 80s F (~30 C), and I been mowing the grass since mid April. The blueberries have flowered. However, this coming week, we have frost warnings.

That's pretty freaky if you don't know any better. It looks like a frozen Tsunami >.>

Somehow I get associations with the Nenana ice classic. But the bets are closed to when the tripod starts to drift, stopping the clock. My bet is May 10th 5:15 pm. It looks like the ice thickness this year is not exactly the least of the records

It's still there.

Obviously I lost. Meanwhile, the count up has started. It appears that time has just passed #5 and #4 latest breakups on the 14th of May. The record of 20 May in 1964 doesn't look likely to be met, yet

"I don't know if it's going to make it another 10 days or not," Forness said on Friday. "It might hang in there.

"It would be cool it if it did," she said.

Excellent pun.

We have had heavy frosts the last two night in a row. Fortunately, we anticipated May frosts and only planted frost-resistant stuff outside like sweet peas and broccoli.
