That's Hot for A February 27th.
We had Freezing rain today and it didn't look good. So I went out and got 5 gallons of gas for the Generator just in case. The pine trees in my area had limbs coated with ice hanging to the ground. 200 thousand people were with out power last week from the same thing.

Still no rain in the 7 day forecast! If it doesn't rain soon, we will lose some trees. My neighbor took down his silver oak and a coconut palm last thursday. My attempt at growing mango trees is rapidly flopping.  Movie for tonight, "Sahara".  ;D

Up here it's a good chance to test my SS weatherby's I should tape the muzzles throw them in the slush and shoot them.

Mostly downstate from what I read on line. I called my cousin in Inkster to check on her but she was one of DTEs lucky customers, she hadn't lost power.

It hasn't rained in weeks. Yes, it should rain 3-4 days a week. The way it's going,I expect hurricane season way early. We need rain, but not all at once.

We had the freezing rain also here in Southern Ontario. Lots of trees and branches down. We were lucky to only loss our hydro for a few hours.
I am heading to North Bay for an ice fishing trip in a week, they have 18" of ice and lots of snow.

Its been an extremely warm February for us here in Middle Georgia.  The high for today will around 80 degrees.  Cold front moving in on friday, and will drop the lows to the middle to upper 40s.  I say bring it, my peach trees need some cold weather. :)
