Better get the heaters ready for next week.

Yeah, forecast lows a few nights into the high twenties.
Looks like 2018 is going to be coming in all cold and unpleasant. :( |
They keep changing the temps long range. They were talking snow around here next week.

Heck, the weather people can't even get the forecast right just a few hours in advance. Earlier today they were calling for a low of 35. Then they changed it to 37 degrees when I looked right before sunset. I figured we would be OK with not covering the new citrus trees tonight. So around 11 or so, we see the temp suddenly drop from 35 to 37. Went and checked the forecast and they changed the forecast at this late hour to a low of 32 degrees, with frost after 2am. So Connie and I got the warm clothes on and broke the tarps out of the shed and covered the sensitive stuff.
Bunch of bozos. The national weather service needs to fire every one of those clowns. A crew of volunteers could not do any worse at the job. |
They did a much better job in the 70's before computers took over and when our weather was more normal.

Damn, going to be some cold nights coming up for this entire week. Tonight won't be too bad, but Monday night through maybe Saturday they are calling for lows around the mid 20s around here. :dead:

Oh no! We were wrong! The nasty CO2 problem is BLOCKING heat from reaching the Earth! We have to tax and control everyone even more so we can save the planet! |
Still only 41 degrees here at 1:15pm. :(
Supposed to drop down to around 23 degrees tonight, and pretty much the same for this entire week. Well, our citrus trees might be history in 2018. We are going to cover what we can with whatever tarps we have. But I think it's going to be windy too, so that might wind up blowing the tarps off of the trees anyway. Oh well. Growing our own citrus was nice while it lasted. We won't be replacing the trees, since this sort of thing could happen again at any time. And honestly, we're getting up in age where running around at night throwing tarps over trees would be becoming a burden anyway. |
