Danger said:So you're in Greece? Or have Pegusi gone international?
Schrodinger's Dog said:No England, we see them all the time. I'm surprised you don't.
Danger said:Probably has something to do with what you feed them.

In Maine, winter can be long and hard on people and wildlife alike. Winter this year is very similar to the winters of the 1950's and 1960's. Lots of snow and enough consistently cold weather to keep it from melting off. We've had a couple of brief thaws and a couple of rainy/drizzly days, but they didn't cause much run-off. Instead they compacted the snow so we don't have 10 feet of fluffy stuff on the ground. In the last several years we have had warm dry winters with little or no snow-cover. This year, our snow-cover is in the top 25% (and climbing) since records have been kept, and its water content is high. As much as I wish for spring to come, I want it to arrive gradually. A sudden warm wet spell could make the disastrous floods of 1987 look like a kiddie pool.dst said:Is it perpetual winter for all the members of PF (except me) or something?
I spent a few years self-employed, and I can assure you that I was about the most demanding boss I've ever had. When I was programming, I'd get on a roll writing code, lose track of time, and only quit when my wife would get up and remind me that I had to be at a client's place in about 6-7 hours. :yuck:Ivan Seeking said:Of course, on the down side there are days when I only see the light of day on my walk down to the office around 8AM and I don't quit until after midnight.

Finally had some decent snow the other day! Came nearly up to eye level. If you happened to bring your eyes to near ground level for the sake of a photo anyway...
Seriously though, the deepest I saw was 6 inches and that's quite enough for me. Shame it all vanished the day it fell though.

My wife tried to keep me from self-destructing, but after over 10 years of industrial shift-work she was willing to let me beat myself up a lot more than she'd tolerate today.Tsu said:That sounds just like our house! Although half the time I don't know if Ivan has a meeting or not because I couldn't stay up long enough (and I get off work at midnight and go to bed around 3 or 4 a.m.!) to see him when he finally came up to the house. If the car is gone in the morning when I get up, I know he had a meeting with someone, somewhere. The man is a workaholic.
Is that typical or is this a late winter? I'm aware that the mid-section of the US has been getting some nasty weather.Evo said:It is freezing outside and we are supposed to have snow tonight, tomorrow AND the day after. This is UNREAL.
The stores have already received their spring shipments of plants and they're trying to stack them inside in any space they can find instead of outside in the garden center. No one's buying any plants because IT'S SNOWING.
We are supposed to get mixed rain and snow all weekend. yay...Ivan Seeking said:We are supposed to hit 70 degrees F this weekend! Yippie!
Definitely not typical, our highs should be near 70F and our lows near 45-50F, instead, our highs have been in the mid forties. We are in planting zone 3 for outdoor planting of annuals in April.Astronuc said:Is that typical or is this a late winter?
I am just now getting glimpses of soil in my vegetable garden and a few spots of lawn on areas that are favorably elevated toward the mid-day sun. The snow on the front lawn is still 2' deep or more. This is atypical of the last decade or so, but not to different from the winters of the '50s and '60s.Evo said:Definitely not typical, our highs should be near 70F and our lows near 45-50F, instead, our highs have been in the mid forties.

The record snowfall was caused by a combination of weather patterns and atmospheric conditions that brought in a large amount of moisture to the region.
The exact amount of snowfall recorded will vary depending on the specific location, but on average, the region saw a record-breaking amount of snow since 4AM.
The locals were delighted by the record snowfall, as it provided a rare opportunity for them to enjoy winter activities and create memories with their families and friends.
It is unlikely that this record snowfall will have any significant long-term effects on the region, as it is a natural occurrence and the snow will eventually melt.
It is difficult to determine if this specific record snowfall can be directly attributed to climate change, as it is a complex and ongoing issue. However, it is important to note that extreme weather events, including heavy snowfall, can be a result of climate change and its effects on global weather patterns.
