So anyone concerned with the lack of winter this year?

[JudyB]

One thing I didn’t expect was how traditional thermostats do not go under 41F. Going to do some digging this year for a solution(for next winter) but for this winter, I just installed some smart thermostats that alert me when it hits 34F so I can manually turn it on via an app regardless of where Im at. Coupled with wifi garage door openers, I’ve been able to modulate the temps(for the most part) remotely!

I use these. They are pretty accurate and easy to set. There is a 20 amp version as well. I use for air and also for heat mats.

Bracing for winter! Any one else going to get hit with this storm?
Looking like around 20” in the next 2 days.

Around here, that forecast is a major winter storm.

My bad, I misread what you said. Phew, you scared the crap out of me.

Lack of Winter? We are getting 2' of snow with a -11 f of Friday! Thank goodness none of my trees are waking up yet.

 

[Colorado]

Several inches of snow and -5F in the forecast out here.

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Today it was 73F. Just sayin'. All my trees are waking up.

Freezing rain and snow starting mid day tomorrow and running until Thursday... 1/2" to 3/4" of ice +/- several inches of wet snow = power outages. 20s for highs on Friday... stupid groundhog!

Nah , everything is pretty much on par for course like last year maybe 1 week earlier than last year . Larches are first to start moving , then maples and hornbeams. March will be here next weekend, when I started my repots last year

Where are you seeing that? I know its a long island, but on the south shore there's no snow predicted in the next 10 days.

I am not seeing that here as it is not forecast for here.
Im just saying that when we get that kind of forecast here, it is considered a major storm.

*EDIT* just saw your second quote of my post....lol yea I wasnt saying that.
Id like to see a little more winter here BUT NOT THAT...lool

I’ve found tamarack at Gerten’s and actually one at Menards a few years back.
I’ve collected a few from my dads hobby farm in Luck WI,
I’ve you’re interested in helping collect some tamarack from the bog this spring, we could coordinate a time early this spring to go up.
@Dogestoevsky , your also invited

Heck yeah man, I’d love that! Bit of a drive when I pop it into google maps so I’d need to really get my ducks in a row

Looks like they are going to keep waking up too.

It's so weird.
East coast seeing temperatures 2 months too early and areas of the upper Midwest and west getting buried in snow

 

[Treefer]

High today of 72 F, low tomorrow of 21 F. Craziness!

 

[hampton]

We’re back in winter weather in New England. Have snow on the ground with more in the forecast and temps in the single digits a couple nights this week.

Yes certainly extremes.
I’m thankful that we only got 14” here in the twin cities, VS. the 20” they forecasted.

Oooo thanks for that lead!

 

[jevanlewis]

I wish I could get some of that lack of winter some are talking about. We got 18" overnight. Trees are under here somewhere...

 

[JudyB]

72 today going down to 28 tonight, and only 30s and below for a couple days here. All my trees are awake and ready to go. Glad I have lights!

 

[Paradox]

yea its going to get cold here this weekend.
Hope I dont lose any trees with all this nonsense
