2015 TENNESSEE EVERYTHING THREAD

~ Because doing it over every month is too much hassle for lazy folk such as my ownself!

NOW - January seem to be done with, so lets roll on...


* and Lord help us if February has its usual surprises

I dunno if it's just me, but do you get that too? That if bad weather is going to happen February is going to have it?
I dread the second month of each year...

Looks like the first night of February is supposed to be nasty weather. If they are on with the forecast.

February (its not even spelled like we say it - Febawary) will throw in a warm day or 2 and we get too ready for good weather, then an ice storm will come out of Canada and leave our power off for weeks. Money time for TVA/MLGW linemen.

This is much easier. Lazy is not always bad.

Well ya know - sometimes we barrel right along, other times it gets kinda slow. I noticed a lot of chapters tend to have either a single chat thread or a year long one, Texas has a chat thread that, well, they say everything is big in Texas...

Theirs is miles long!

I put a link in the weather log book thread to an animated satellite image of the eastern weather patterns that I hope is useful, I find it fascinating. You can see the size, direction, and relative speed of movement of large air masses. Also get an idea of how much potential precipitation is in them...

I used to watch them like a hawk when I was in Virginia because of the Hurricane season. As we move through "FEBAWARRA" I'll be looking for clues about warm weather and planting time. Seems I was right to disregard the early daffodil sprouts - we ain't out of winter by a long shot.

I'll agree with that. I've never been fond of cold. My fingers and feet bother me. Always have.

I don't know about me. It's always bothered me. It is getting harder to handle though. If I wear thick socks or insulated boots, it makes it worse. My feet will sweat and get really cold.
