The temperatures have been a little above normal but not unlike the past few years. They talk about the Green House Effect or to define a little more clearly, The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere, it results in an elevation of the average surface temperature above what it would be in the absence of the gases. And yes the temperatures they have been above average and of course that means less frozen grounds and grass a little greener for this time of the year.
Not only that, each morning when I walk outside or take my morning bicycle ride I have heard a lot of birds beginning to chirp and make an all too familiar sound of, "Spring is in The Air."
I don't know about you but for us this is a wonderful thing. I mean I personally don't care for a cold ass winter where the wind blows up my bum and causes me to grit my teeth and wear an extra layer of clothing. Brrrrrr I can not wait for it to get a little warmer even and for the grass to not only green up but I'm ready to mow. Yes I said that, "I'm ready to begin mowing the lawn."
How about you? How's the temperatures and the weather been in your neck of the woods? One thing that is for certain is we could use much more precipitation and moisture for the ground and winter wheat etc... If there is a downside to all of this, and I'm not sure how the warmer weather has effected it, but we NEED MORE MOISTURE! Rain dance, do us a rain dance please.
Until then I will just listen to the sounds of the singing birds in the air and hope for rain but most of all warmer weather. I dislike winter more and more each year. How about you?
Chime in and let us know how you feel about the weather in your neck of the woods and are you getting any moisture. Our lakes, ponds and the likes are way, way too low.
