So a week ago it was snowing, yet today it is sunny and almost hot. WTF? This thread for when the weather is actually nice in your neck of the woods, tra la la hello trees hello sky hello clouds.

It feels like Spring.

Much the same here.

It's a wee bit cold outside, but it's that nice crisp cold with big minty blue skies you could pluck the clouds out of and sook.

I wish it were great weather here. It's fucking cold and windy and suddenly I don't own enough warm clothes.

Frankly, the great weather we're (us Brits living in the South Eastern corner of England) having is starting to get me worried.

A few weeks ago here it was early January and 70 degrees. That was weird.

It is foggy here in the north.

Only a matter of time before the pirates come.

Now folks, here's a nightmare scenario. You're cuddled up in bed, you hear that "step, thump, step, thump" of a pirate coming up your stairs. You'd hide under your covers. But, it's not going to do you any good. He's drank your liquor, number one. Number two... He's looking for treasure. He's a pirate folks, you're DEAD.

It has been so warm that the blossom is starting to bud on a lot of the trees including the magnolias. This evening the gritting lorries are out and it is freezing. Frankly, that's disasterous for the plants and trees that are fooled into believing it's spring. Everything is all confused and as a result a lot of the blossom will die and that means the trees will be fucked, basically.

It mostly sucks because the flowers don't get to do their whole thing, but otherwise the trees should be okay. It's worse when they start leafing out and then get frozen, in that it's alot of wasted energy to start expanding the leaves and then have to start all over again. It can set them back for a month or more, sometimes. But if the trees are healthy, they're going to be fine, and you'll see the flowers next year.

Haha, well it's another beautiful hot sunny day out here. Sure would like to get some of those gloomy, cold and rainy days we hear all about...

yes we had an early bloom in Dec that then froze. The tree folks tell me the worst danger is when the sap flows the tree limbs become heavier which makes them more likely to break during winter ice storms.
