    We woke up to blowing snow this morning :-x I hope it doesn't hurt my lilacs or iris or petunias :( The weatherman said it should turn to rain by 11:00 a.m., we will see...

    Oh,I would have loved to wake up to snow!! The Iris and Petunia's should be just fine. Mine stayed green a couple of years ago through 2 good snowfalls and several freezes.

    Snow? Are you on the wrong side of the mountains? Brrrrrr!! I looked at your weather report. Windy and cold It will feel like 37°. Not too many flowers are happy about snow. Your flowers may go back underground. :-( Perhaps you should look for a weather station with a nicer report. :) I thought the northwest was suppose to have mild weather.

    Thanks everybody! Friday was nasty, Saturday was cool and windy but I managed to pull weeds anyway and today has been real pleasant, about 66. Mother nature has had one heck of a mood swing! The weatherman is telling us 80 on Thursday!!! :rolleyes:

    Deanna... your poor plants must be so confused! :D
    Hope they all survive your roller-coaster-weather-ride.

    Hey, stratsmom, do you live close to me? :D We had snow in early May, and a couple of hail showers after that. This week-end's been nice and warm, but now it's only 5°C outside. Brrr!
