Temperatures rising

by Tricia

It’s the strangest thing. Early Thursday morning it was -20 Celsius outside. That’s pretty darn cold. No more snow but what’s out there certainly wasn’t going to melt any time soon, or so I thought.

Now, it’s 1:30 in the morning and I’ve been watching the temperature rise throughout the day. It’s -9 Celsius. It looks like it’s going to be warmer over the next three or four days.

It probably won’t be warm enough to melt all that snow but it should be warm enough to get outside and clean up the driveway a bit better. The snow plows made a mess of the entrance to our driveway since one of our neighbors cars was parked in front of the neighbors house the night of the snow storm. When the street plows went by they had to miss the car and this left a wide path of snow in front of our driveway.

So, unless the plows come by again to move the snow over a bit more- hopefully when the neighbors car isn’t parked there, we still need to clean out the opening to our driveway a bit better. Oh, we did shovel. We can get in and out, but it’s still a mess that stretches about ten feet out into the roadway – thanks to the neighbors car.

How did everyone else do after the snow storms?

It’s going to snow all week?

by Tricia

I just took a peak at my Weathernetwork icon on my desktop and discovered that it’s supposed to snow every single day this week. What the heck?

We went through November, December and half of January without any snow and all of a sudden it’s snowing every single day? Is it trying to make up for the dry spell or something?

Oh well. As I’ve said before, if it’s going to be freezing cold outside I’d rather that my garden plants have a nice layer of snow over them to give them a little bit of protection. Especially since I didn’t put down any leaves or extra protection on the beds this past autumn.

Anyone else having a week of snow?

It’s been snowing here on and off since Friday. Here’s a glimpse of what it looked like Friday evening:

January Snowstorm Toronto

When it gets this way outside, I remember some of the beautiful scenes of summer, like this:

I love this Dahlia photo. You know, I have these planted in my front boulevard and I didn’t take them out of the ground last fall.

Oh oh … they probably won’t make it. Oh that’s so sad. Well I have had Dahlias come up again in the past. It’s a risk. We’re Canadian zone 6b here, but USDA zone 5b. Dahlias are zone 6 or 7 I believe, but then we’ve had a mild winter up until the past two weeks so they might make it. I hope they will. I want to see these beauties again.
