Monday, despite the nights getting colder we still have warm days so the dahlias are still flowering and the grass is still growing. Nearly 10 days without rain so I managed to mow the grass again, it was getting very long, a bit damp from overnight dews but I manged to get it done.
Tuesday, woke up the find all is white, paths roads, garden, all covered in about 3 inches (7cm) or more of snow. The dahlias have all gone black so time to cut down and mulch, when the snow melts.
Wednesday, nothing much changed, the overnight temperature in the garden averaged -2 and daytime was 4 degrees.
Thursday, it was warming slightly -1.4 overnight but 3.6 daytime, so the snow was ice on top and not going anywhere.
Friday, I can see the garden now. Overnight we are out of minus figures with an average of 1.4 and during the day 6 degrees.
Saturday, the white has all gone, overnight temperature 6.1 and during the day a blistering 16.1. Snow has melted but it is raining.
Sunday, in the last 2 days we have had 28.73mm of rain.
