Here in Colorado we are expecting another snow storm this Thursday through Friday (Feb. 2 - 3). Actually March is the snowiest month of the year in Colorado. Anyway, I'll take all the snow I can get, as it is great for the wheat crop. - Millet (355 ABO-)

In Colorado the snow is to start later this afternoon (Thursday) and continue snowing until sometime on Saturday. The forecast is as much as two feet of snow from this storm. Should be fun. Ski Colorado is ecstatic. I checked my greenhouse propane tank this morning to be sure I had enough. - Millet (354 ABO-)

Above graph of average temps is for location 50 km WNW from my place,
it can be used as representative to show abrupt change which happened to most of Europe.

We had snow flurries in Tucson yesterday, melted as soon as it hit the ground. Everyone at the office was crowded around the windows, oohing and aahing - we only see snow once a year at most, no buras here. I was less enchanted than annoyed, since I had to cover my trees one more time.
Yes another 4 weeks and I start fertilizing all the trees. Fingers crossed we don't get a late arctic blast.
