Re: 2011
It was in the Fifties when the new year started, but has now dropped to 20°F. The paper's long term weather forecast has varied wildly from day to day. 
Despite the cold start for December, the Winter itself has not been bad, yet. At least here it hasn't.

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

It has been to 0F and I've already had to hand shovel my 1/10 mile driveway 5 times plus bust ice with a floor scraper on Xmas day for a little fun:drunken: Brad Salmon, zone 12B Kea'au, HI

Re: 2011
You all think you have it bad... Well here it is hot and you still have to water on a regular basis...
Forecast:
Monday = H 74... L 58
Tuesday = H 79...L 59
Wednesday = H 83... L 57
Thursday = H 81... L 54
Friday = H 79... L 57
Saturday = H 81... L 52
Low so far this winter is 34F for about 1.5 hours.
I know... you don't want to hear about it.

I never really thought about it, but assumed you had a plow of some sort that you attach to your... car? ...little tractor? Ok, I guess hand shovel it is.

I wish I could say that. Yesterday I had to thaw out my waterline to get water to my houseboonut wrote:Well here it is hot and you still have to water on a regular basis...
The extension cord that I had to my heat tape was marked 15 amps but died at less than 5 amps

Yes, but the drop to 0°F occured before Winter officially started!needmore wrote:What would be bad to you?foxd wrote:It was in the Fifties when the new year started, but has now dropped to 20°F. The paper's long term weather forecast has varied wildly from day to day.
I also learned not to shovel my driveway because the lowest bidder the city hirers to plow the parking lot across the street, will push the snow into the first empty spot they see in my yard.
So if I don't want snow blocking my driveway then I shouldn't shovel it. Southern Indiana.

Hey Bambam,
My understanding is that Phyllostachys bambusoides doesn't need a cold winter per se in order to grow. I don't know if you have ever considered this species but it is one of my favorites here in zone 8a. Just a thought.
Regards,
Mackell in DFW

Re: 2011
Heck Boonut even I don't want to hear it but then again I only have to water once a week this time of year. Every thing sensitive is in the green house enjoying 80+ day time temps and no frost. My out side Wammin is hanging in there with only being covered with sheets. Hope it stays this mild for the rest of the winter.

My wamins were 80 percent burned, hamiltonii 25 percent burned and Parker giant 20 percent burned all in the middle of December. Since winter started, no damage
