Yeah…around here weather is an hourly topic. Frosty beautiful pine trees this morning. Sunny and nearly 50* now. 🙂 Honestly, we’re high enough to get snow in August [doesn’t last but neither do tomatoes] and wear T-shirts during the “January Thaw”. What was different this year was the overnite low getting down to ZERO in early October. That locks up the ground a lot sooner than normal. Cuts off the fresh grass and we begin to pay for hay early too. 🙁 That hurts. We’ve been subzero at nite several times now. SubZero used to be a rare thing all winter! {sigh…I hate subzero – too dangerous}
BUT….most things can still be handled during the sunny days we’ll have. Not liking the icy, steep driveway tho. Mebbe call my friend back to take a couple swipes with his plow to get it down to gravel again? Hate to…he won’t take any payment..
So how do you who live in city deal with municipal decisions affecting your preparedness? Besides catching water in a net? 😉 If your kids are home ….if you have a private business to run…if you have an unreasonable employer who wants you at work anyway…. Yikes.
