Ya know, we've only had really 2 snows this year....no storms, just nice snows. All of January was no moisture and above normal temps so much so that I left covers off both my seedling Trachy, and another one I have that is about 3ft tall.
We have maybe another 25-30 days to go till were in the clear...at least to leave Trachy's out.

2 snows here as well, and both light. We often get thick wet snow march - april, so not giving up yet on "winter" but temps are so moderate it is easy to think we are done for extreme temps.

Excellent, guys!
Especially that pic, Scott, of yours out in the fresh air.
Look good!

Thanks Damir
Yea Erik
Only rain here lately....
The Princeps is planted in the Cactus house,soil temps in the mid 40s.
The same with the McCurtain but it is outside of the Cactus shelter.
I ahd been leaving them out for a while to adjust to the sun and get
used to having their roots a little cooler like they will be when planted.

Looks good Jim.
I've had almost ZERO snow this winter. Ground is bare right now, loving it! Will we pay this spring and summer? LOL.
Let's just not repeat summer of 2009.

Thanks Wx
Not sure what to expect this summer-
I have seen one forecast for cool and dry(this one got the winter right)
but the pattern looks like it could easily go back to a heat wave again,
maybe over a larger area too.
I don't mind the cool summer at all-as long as spring is warm...
