Central Park, New York City. March 9th, 2:30 pm Eastern. Spectacular blue skies. Abundant sunshine and 71 degrees. Gentle breezes. Daffodils, pansies are popping up and cherry trees in the park are starting to blossom. Winter never really arrived but these temps in early March are rare! May be our last spring here, so I'll happily take it! When will flowers start budding in WSD?
In Eastern SD everything is budding, grass is growing, and birds are singing. But why is it that the stupid deer eat all the buds off of the trees that I bought and planted and want, but leave the volunteer walnut and mulberry trees that I don't want completely alone?
Actually, though, we had an hour of snow this afternoon.
If your whitetails are like our mule deer, they can sense where the love is and just want to join in. Fences help. The Bluebirds arrived in Hot Springs late last week. Grass is beginning to turn green, but we need rain to help it along. The worm moon was as bright as the sun last night.
We no longer have to worry about fires. We got 6 to 8 inches of snow last night and it is still coming down. The good part is that we need the moisture and the flakes are those big, floppy, wet ones.
Actually that was 10 or 12 inches of snow. It began to melt yesterday and should be largely gone by tonight. That snow melt should give the trees an early boost when spring hits full stride.
It looks like about 2 inches of snow on the ground this A M. There is supposed to be more today as the storm moves northeast. The forecast indicated the storm will go north of Souix Falls.
Still snowing. It looks like about 6 inches on my deck rail.
