Can Someone Send Me Some Warm Weather!!!???

[meowey]

Howdy Folks,

I know it's been a while since I've started a post. I've been hoping to post the first smoke of the season. The weather here has not been the least bit cooperative. I covered the smokers at thanksgiving to keep the snow off them, and there has been snow on the ground since.

Here is a sample of the latest. This morning we set a record low temp for the date.

Here are some pics I took yesterday to email to the FIL.

Front yard!

Back yard (Notice the blue tarp covered smoker on the left, and the picnic table on the right)

One of the old-timers told me the other night that he thinks this is a 50-year winter. It is the longest continuous snow cover that I remember in 30 years. We've had more snow or colder temps at various time since I've lived here, but this is the longest continuous snow cover combined with late season frigid temps that I remember.

Will someone please send me some warm weather?? I have committed to smoking 40 pounds of pulled pork in two weeks for a group function. Looking at these pics, I wonder if it will happen.

Take care, have fun, and do good!

Regards,

Meowey

Sorry about the weather! We had 72 degrees here yesterday although there was a bit of wind with it. I'm sure you realize, it's global warming! Keith

We understand that need for the spring here in iowa. Been a long winter here too. We had ice and snow day before thanksgiving, our last snow was wednesday this week and i woke up to 16f.
Finally we have had two days in a row between 40 and 45. Long range is looking better too, most days in the low 50's with some rainy days.

So hang in there, i'm guessing our weather heads your way once it's done with us.

It was terrible down here, almost 83º. Had to wear my jeans shorts (jorts) and short sleeve shirt to photograph another softball game for the local high school. I think it was in the 60's when I went home after the two games though

I got plenty of warmth here. I also have one heck of a sun burn from 9 hours on the water yesterday.




I hope those spread a bit of the florida sunshine to you.

Also... I have had a pork butt in since 5am!!! Smells good in the house. I am avoiding sunlight today ;)

Sorry, looks like I am heading to Orlando with the wife to see the new grandson. He is taking his first steps and my wife....AKA: Grandma Cookie, has to be there to see it. Besides, I need to loose some weight.

Meowey, it's kind of one of those years in CO as well. We didn't get Al's global warming letter.

Anyway, we're around 140% of snowpack in the montains. On a moronic note, I turned on my sprinklers 2 weeks ago thinking it was a bit early but trees are starting to bud and some of the perennials are starting to bloom already.

Then, I look at the forecast and we have a lot of hard freezes still to go, i.e. low 20, high teens. So, I had to go back out, hook the compressor up to the system and blow the lines out. I'll turn them on again in late April, I hope.

Thank God for sand in the smoker instead of water or I'd go hungry.

I've got some 40's and 50's to share. But you've got to take the flash flood warnings every other day also.
