About 3 weeks ago we started having March weather in January. Now weed is showing up on the beach and I have started seeing Mexican Freetailed Bats flying around my place the last 2 or 3 days. They aren't supposed to be here before March/April. No telling what might come our way this year!

Got this from Fox News. They also mentioned the cold weather is coming. Maybe the ants are right?

— Second-warmest in Maine and in Milwaukee, Wis.

— Third-warmest in Memphis, Tenn., and Detroit.

— Fourth-warmest in New York's Central Park (tied with January 1913), in Greensboro, N.C., and Louisville, Ky.

— Eighth-warmest in Denver, and the warmest since 1986.

— 10th warmest in Baltimore.

— Warmest since 1950 in Buffalo, N.Y., and Nashville, Tenn.

— 12th-warmest in New Mexico.

The peach and apple orchards up in the hill country are already all in bloom. I also saw a large flock of geese just last night heading north. So nature is fooled into thinking it is spring by and large. However, the ants are still trying to hibernate in their mounds, and I am still trying to kill them off. Laughing

Winter has been very severe on the other side of the globe. Europe, Russia, and Asia have all seen record cold, record snowfalls, and in many areas they are receiving the first snowfalls in their recorded histories (which go back alot farther than ours). Areas of Japan that normally receive no more than a foot or two of accumulation are seeing 12 and 15 foot of snow on the ground! The weather pattern this year is very different indeed.

Up here in San Antonio, Steve Brown, who is really good at predicting break-offs of artic air weeks in advance has been talking for a couple weeks about it coming. Now he is saying February will feel more like January should, with next week being much cooler, and the following week being cold. We will see if this indeed plays out or not. I'd wait to plant any tender plants for now, and if you already have them in the ground, pick up a roll of visquine to make covers. Could be bad news for the orchards and vineyards up here.

What I am really hoping is that the sargassum has already bloomed and is into its spring pattern and a good cold snap shuts it down. Twisted Evil

If so, we will see reall heavy sargassum at the end the month Sad

and then have it clearing up by the end of March! Very Happy
