When is it going to warm up?
 

For you folks who are having trouble figuring out when spring will
arrive (like me), have a look at the following web site:

http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/water/climate/

You enter your location and it tells you such information as the average
temps and precipitation by month (avg daily min/max, avg, chances of
precip, avg snowfall), growing season dates (in a number of forms), and
lots of other climatic data.

For instance, I now know that it only gets below 32 degF one in every
ten years after March first here in New Orleans.

I suggest you have a look. It may raise your spirits that spring may
finally get here. Someday.

Boy was that depressing. I thought we lived in a relatively mild climate.
less than half the year do we have a growing season on Long Island. It
won't be frost free guaranteed until almost May... I can't imagine what the
poor folks in the north feel like. I'm going to go out and see if I can see
my fish under the many inches of ice when I get home.
