<p>I will be in the Central FL area in 11 days....hoping the weather and the gulf stays calm and no storms start to form. Will be so nice to visit the "Sunshine State"! Counting down the days...</p>
<p>Looks like the path of the storm will be heading more North, around the Panhandle of FL. Than it looks to head up the East coast. Hope everyone stays safe.</p>

<p>Well things are looking a little better these days, as the local nurseries are madly shipping products out to all the local garden centers and big box stores!!!!</p>

<p>The problem we are experiencing is the drastic swings in temperatures between the daytime and night time temperatures. The second part of this issues is the local news media!! Last week the news did their evening reporting on Chicago's overnight temps! Well 1st of all they are just an educated guess. And depending on where you live, the farther west you go it gets colder!</p>
<p>One lady tried returning some sad looking plants this week (they were DEAD) to a local garden center. The GC reminded they lady that it had dipped down to 17 degrees for several nights. Here response was the weather person didn't say it was going to get that cold out here!!!!</p>
<p>Good deed of the day! One of the major nursery's were delivering flowers this AM to one of the major big Box stores. As they rolled the carts across the parking lots, some of the Hyacinths bulbs were falling out of the overfull pots, and onto the ground. No attempts were made by the store employees to pick up the bulbs and restore them in the pots!</p>
<p>So the driver picked up several of the bulbs and gave them to the kids that were with their mothers who had been shopping in the GC with instructions to help mommy plant the bulbs!!</p>
<p>Haven't seen smiles on 2 - 3yr olds like that in a long time! What a Hoot!!</p>
<p>The weather is suppose to be nice hear tomorrow, so I'll probably be out washing and waxing one of the Corvettes in anticipation of the upcoming warm weather!</p>

<p><strong>This year sounds like it will be a repeat of last year. I feel so sorry for the Farmers...it looks like they will have another drought to deal with again.</strong></p>
<p><strong>GrandPaGardener, it looks like we are going to have a rainy Spring Season up here in the North. Where the states really need the rain, they will not get it. Hopefully the Western and Southern States will receive rain this Spring and into the Summer months. …</strong></p>

<p>Well, here comes Saturn?</p>
<p>Now the last storm was "Q", not this one is called "Saturn" I wonder how they come up with these names??</p>
<p>Chief, looks like you and I may be in for another bout with SNOW! Now the $64,000 question is what the storm path is going to take, and who much do we receive???</p>
<p>So it may be a case of what the storm path is going to be. May be another day of watch the fireplace, and plenty of Coffee.............</p>

<p>Anyhow, it is snowing outside this AM and they say we will be getting 2-4, or 2-6" depending on who you listen to in the morning. It's been really windy last night and this morning, so I'm not sure how much is going to stick on the sidewalks and streets. Only time will tell.</p>

<p>Looks like the storm is going to be slow moving, and once again moving North into WI. So Susan is going to get dumped on again, and if the storm doesn't run out of moisture Seashelly will be getting some over there in OH.</p>
<p>So it's now coffee time, I won't be putting logs on the fire this morning till the winds dies down. So looks like another basically quiet day hear in the Mid West!</p>
<p>Now how is the weather in your neighborhood???</p>
