This "spring" has been pure torture thus far. Since I've had palms, until this year, they were never covered this late. Here is my forecast for the next week. It's an endless nightmare of January temperatures.Saturday: Scattered flurries before 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 29. Northeast wind around 5 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon.Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 14. West wind around 5 mph.Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 27. North wind 5 to 10 mph becoming east in the afternoon.Sunday Night: A 40 percent chance of snow after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 22. East wind around 10 mph.Monday: Snow likely. Cloudy, with a high near 33. Southeast wind 5 to 10 mph becoming southwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 60%.Monday Night: A 40 percent chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 17. Breezy, with a west wind 10 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph.Tuesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 28. Breezy.Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 11.Wednesday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 28.Wednesday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 16.Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 32.I still have 8 inches of crusty ice/snow in the yard and that's not including the piles from the road/driveway. I have a southern magnolia coming in the 1st week of April and it looks like the ground may still be froze solid then!!What gives???Last year the high today on this date was 78 degrees.

You are right, Beny. A mean temperature for March in Almaty is 3,4 C. As for today it is 8.0 C. 4.6 C above normal. A historical record high is + 28 C, but we had only 20.9 this March so far. Winter will come back shortly to my city at the beginning of April.
