It may be sprunging but it sure is taking its sweet time about it. We may get snow this weekend.

I hope it's not suddenly getting hot straight away. Sad that the weather really ties our hands.

No chance of hot weather here for a while. Cloudy and decidedly cool today.

The whole morning was bright for half an hour. then cool and cloudy and now sunshine is coming out. we're supposed to have several hours of sunshine. But in my living room, it's decidedly chilly.

Oh, dear!

Snow is not really a problem, in that it insulates the plants from the cold. The temperature at soil level under snow is usually just at or just below freezing.

The soil is definitely warming up here in Essex as weeds are everywhere - up to my eyeballs.

Just noticed this now - too funny!

It is the law here that our homes must have the cellars insulated to three feet below ground level which is generally also considered the frost line. The ground is only frozen solid to about an 18" depth at this moment because it hasn't been as cold as it was last month.

Without your lovely gulf stream, even though I am at a lower latitude, I have much harsher elements and that is why yet another forecast of snow gets exasperating to see. I don't think it heats up the ice hard ground any.

Wish it did
