Northern weather

Sounds like a great idea. I enjoy a bit of relatively mindless activity like lawn-mowing. Beats chopping wood, which requires a bit of attention-paying.

"This might trigger a states rights battle....." Rufus. Lets see what kind of fight goes on between cuomo and de blasio. Each wants their own tv time to run for higher office. De blasio wants city schools closed for the year. Cuomo says "I'll make that decision"
Never got the high wind they mentioned for today.

Different sand box.

We had some but nothing like what others got south of us. All we got was a lot of rain....

Yup. Zen-like activity, mowing. Chopping wood, more kendo, 45 bags of mulch, just misery. All beat another day inside in the home office.

Reading your discussion here brought this to mind:Leonard Cohen, "Dance Me To The End of Love." I have no clear idea why.
I have it playing in the background, now.

Southern Weather, too:
Roger, Are you safe-and-sound? More serious weather is again headed your way, or upon you already? Are you OK ?

[rogruth]

So far OK.
Temperatures were weird today. 60 at 6:30 AM, went to 71 around noon. Then came the rains and back to the 60s. Now 65 with more rain coming.

A polar-vortex event is set to hit the northeastern US this weekend, bringing snow and potentially record-breaking springtime cold

https://news.yahoo.com/polar-vortex-eve ... 00559.html

Parts of the northeastern US might see temperatures in the 30s and 40s on Saturday and Sunday. Some New England states could get snow.

The National Weather Service warned Americans to expect "widespread record and near record low" temperatures.

According to forecasters, this late-spring chill will come as the polar vortex — a mass of low-pressure cold air that circulates in the stratosphere above the Arctic — spills southward.

Although the northern hemisphere is already more than halfway through the spring, some northeastern US states could see snow this weekend.

Parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine should expect some snowfall late Friday and Saturday, Accuweather reported. That will coincide with a band of colder-than-usual weather set to hit the Great Lakes region and most of New England.

I hope the Blue Spruce shrubs I had planted a few weeks ago, here in the Northeast, won't be hurt by the snow and cold.

Those will be fine. Weeks ago and they will be settled in pretty good with the rain we've had.

I brought my cacti inside - ~30 pots and the big braziliensis - 16" pot and over 8' tall. Grew that from a single leaf cutting I got over 38 years ago. Caught a spine in the heal of my thumb and it's all bruised. Hope it does not get infected. Bringing in the tomatoes in a few hours. Got firewood in as well to burn off the chill.....

Had to go get my lightweight plastic chairs back from my neighbors yard...darn things blew fifty yards and across the road in this cold wind. Another freeze warning for tonight...glad I haven’t put anything outside yet (garden plants).

Could be worse, could be in Maine, lol.

Well, it is Maine, so what else is new?

[chuck]

It's sunny here, but very cold and very windy. At least it isn't snowing.
