Cool weather vein. I guess it also points in the
direction where the dog is treed. Does it get a signal
from the GPS of your dogs collar? ;D :P >:D )-w(

BTW have the Snows retreated?

We're supposed to get 60F plus tomorrow and Friday, 50's over the weekend and about that next week.  On the other hand, we are only at 80% of normal snowfall here and less than 70% for the state, and March and April are supposed to be our snowiest months.  What part of Iowa are you in?

The last 3 weeks in February we never got below freezing. That is very odd for us. Our last frost date is May 15. In 1993 we had a blizzard here and up the East Coast on March 13.  This week we are getting night time temps in the upper 20s  to 31 deg which is typical for us and we even saw about 4 big snow flakes this morning.  I'm afraid to see what July and August brings.   (A)

We got 3-5" dumped on us last night. I will still take cool over hot any day. I like nice weather, but hot weather isn't for me.

Finally above freezing! Started at 9F this morning but it’s 44 now!

Gonna get knapping soon!

And the turkeys were out strutting, coyotes in all the fields and the elk were down licking salt off the highway!

Pictures through the work truck window so they’re not the best.

I'm with you Pearl.  This fat yankee would rather have cool or even cold over hot.  We got into the 70's couple of weeks ago and people thought spring was here. NOT YET.  I do like spring and fall but, could do with the heat of summer.  Have a good one.

Nice weather vane Ed. We can get snow all the way to May around here. Had about six inches this morning that came down soft and fluffy. It usually snows on our sugar beets after we plant them. We always say to grow really good beets they have to get snowed on after planning in spring and before harvesting in fall.

The weather here's been perfect for collecting sap, 40s during the day, 20s at night. The evaporator's gonna get a workout this weekend for sure.

That's Gods' country that's for sure.Nice pics.
I don't mind winter yet too much really.It's Robin here who is always talking about warm and sunshine etc.I know I can't quite take the heat like I used to and the cold don't bother me like I said.
A good snowfall on newly planted oats is a plus nitrogen wise here too in southern Iowa.
People on the northeast coast are getting it again.
