I live in Missouri and walk as long as the wind chill nor actual temp are 32 or lower. That being said, last week's brutal cold/snow/ice about did me in! I love winter but not that. lol If I never see another snowflake this winter/spring, I will be happy. Come on, Spring!

What I'm afraid of is since the weather for Tx (amarillo) was so bad in 2020 with no rain and still no rain just snow here and there since Sept. we will have another drought in 2021. Scorching heat and water table going down.

More work for the home owner to keep plants and trees alive, etc.

I"ve burned out one irrigation system box, 350 for a new one, hope I don't have to burn it out too. Gonna need that stimulus check. LOL

We are seeing many plants, bushes, and trees all browned out from that deep freeze.

Trees do shed brown leaves at this time of year but nothing like this.

I don't know if some landscaping will come back. Our two front bushes have some browning but overall still green.

I see neighbors with some bushes that are brown and bent all the way to the ground. Others are just stripped of all foliage with nothing left but bent branches and the branches have "freezer burn".

This is a pic of a plant that used to be green:

Yes, I'm in Chicago and the sun and warmth feel wonderful. Looks like March will come in like a lamb--hope it won't go out like a lion!! I've had more than enough of winter!!!

Glad the two feet of snow on the ground in our backyard is melting slowly. A fast melt could undermine our hillside drainage efforts.

Such snow and freezing that we had is gone. Going to be in the low 50s for a while. Can really tell a difference in the heat usage. Might get all wild and crazy and break out some flip flops 🩴

50 degrees in Georgia today and very wet. Oh no, i just check and the temperature for tomorrow goes up to 74. Not my kind of weather. I love the cold. Guess i'll just go out in the morning instead even thought it will be around 59.

I take each day as it comes no matter what the weather. I don't wish time or seasons away because they go fast enough. I am more of a cooler weather person, hate the heat and humidity . In my area the snow and ice came and thankfully we weren't without power.

No matter what when spring comes I will welcome it as I do other seasons, Autumn being my favorite!

We got to a balmy 51 degrees today, where I live in the Northeast! That's still cool enough to churn on the heat in my older home though.....
