I can't imagine what you folks are going to do who live where all this snow and ice is. I would imagine that in a lot of places the soil is actually frozen

My understanding is our frost-line is sitting at, or around 18 inches. When the spring thaw comes, it's gonna be a mess for quite some time. I'm guessing I won't be able to walk on my lawn till at least the end of April without having my shoes sucked right off my feet.

Well, it is now at 9:41 p.m. EST raining and 41 degrees. Rain was not in the forecast a couple of days ago but here it is. I will say that is is decreasing the height of the piles of shoveled snow. Blah....:unsure:

Well that warmer weather has finally presented itself. I've been racking back the fall leaves and began uncovering sprouts of crocuses, daffodils, lilies, and irises. I'm so excited! :)

:cry: Why is the northeast being punished? What did we do wrong?
I mean we are pretty nice people as a whole! Six nights of below freezing temps are on the way.:mad:

Will it never end? And how long will it be before the ground is warm enough and dry enough? Will you have to rethink your garden planting?
The total snowfall amounted to 4.5 inches, and we are now sitting at 30°F. To answer your question Chuck. Our saving grace in all of this is, we have had snow on the the ground for the better part of the entire winter. That alone will keep the ground from going into a deep freeze, and should allow us to come out of this close to scheduled planting times. It is my understanding that roadways and such, that were not protected by snow cover, the freeze line is just under two feet, where normally it would be no more 8-10 inches.

This warm week has come and gone, and it has been absolutely GLORIOUS, but alas next week winter returns to Kansas. We will start out with a warmish thunderstorm tomorrow, and by the end of the week we might get more snow.

So, today I got a lot of cold-hardy seeds in the ground, with the expectation that they will not germinate before it warms up again!:D (I do love to push the envelope when it comes time to plant. )
