Baby it's cold outside

Danger

Walk?!
Here, Canada geese and Canuck ducks are hatched knowing how to skate. It's very handy for the unfortunate ones who miss their flights for migration.

Pine pollen season started here a few days ago, about two or three weeks early. My wife's car is now light green instead of white.

I fear for this year's fruit crops. We will eventually get back into a "Baby it's cold outside" trend, I think, but again today, we are in the mid-80s in the shade and the fruit trees are sporting fattening buds. Bad news for the commercial apple/pear orchards here, I fear. Combined with a warm winter that allowed many insect pests to over-winter, they will be fighting for their financial survival. Crops will likely be small, and insecticide costs may be very high. Not good.

Still high in mid 50's here.

This is ridiculous! 86 in the shade here, and it's only the second day of spring! I really want to get the "Baby it's cold outside" conditions to put some my fruit trees back into dormancy, if that's even possible at this point.

We ended up with about 7" of snow over the last couple of days. Some of it melted and then it dropped below freezing again and more came down. This is one of the heaviest snowfalls that we've seen in years.

Today it will be in near 40F but is supposed to drop into the low 20s again tonight. That means lots of black ice from the snow melt.

Baby it's warm out. But I am glad to hear my apple trees buzzing with Honey Bees. The most bees I've seen for at least 5 years. They're making a come-back here, IMO.

It was in the 80s last week. Now its 30 F outside and expected in the 20s tonight. This year's apple crop is iffy.

The leaves on my blueberries have opened already. That's not supposed to happen for several weeks. Last year - some of the new growth died during a late freeze.

I would really like to get some blueberries going here. Years ago I couldn't get them to survive the hot summers. But I want to try again.

Speaking of "not supposed to happen". Yesterday I opened the door on my outside electrical box to plug into and was attacked by wasps. Hello. It's only March not July.

I was supposed to visit my barber and get a haircut today, but temperatures had plummeted from 80s (last week) to just about freezing today. Since she has to cut my hair outdoor, we had to cancel and hope to reschedule when we get a bit of a warm-up, so she doesn't freeze her skinny fingers.

I don't know what's going to happen with my fruit trees or my wife's flowering perennials. Our plants got a jump-start and I fear they will suffer damage from this switch to below-seasonable temperatures.

Temps currently in the low 20s, and windy with gusts to 30-40 mph. I just got back inside from walking Duke, and I'm frozen.

Here it is dl. I moved your post.

Ok - it's back to cold. We have a freeze warning.

It's crazy here too. Saturday we had a frost that hurt some of my garden then today 95. WT*

It's about -1c here right now, I have to pull my motorbikes out of storage today, it's gonna be a cold day of riding.

Edit: It sounds like I wouldn't pull them out if I didn't have to, but even if I didn't have to, I still would.

Does 72°F at noon count as being cold? After the 100°F to 110°F days we've had, it's feeling a little cold out there.

Nobody from South Africa here? It's snow time
