Weird weather

[AKaviator]

You all get some weird weather down there. I looked at the weather forecast for Laramie this morning (my son lives there). A high of 86 today but by Tuesday a low of 0 and heavy snow warning! We're a balmy high of 59 and low of 44 this week! How do you even know how to dress down there!

Same thing for here is Colorado, where I am located at one forecast says says a low of 18 and another says 20 with a high of either 46 or 48 on Tuesday. Then back up to near 90 on Wednesday.

I'll have to batten down the hatches for one day and then reopen them the next.

Whats left of our garden will probably be ruined. Hope it stays above freezing (forecast says low of 33) so it doesn't raise hell with my irrigation equipment.

We’re suppose to get our first freeze this week in Montana.

I believe that irrigation equipment will be fine for just a day but if this cold snap was longer I would worry

We have until October 1 in our irrigation season. I'll probably turn everything off a day or so earlier. Should be leaving about then for Wyoming deer hunt, don't want the system with water in it when I'm gone.

Even with my lawn watering system I'll shut it off, it is suppose to water Tuesday morning at 1 am and I don't want to go out to ice castles all over.

I also pretty much shut things down around October 1, depending on the weather I may let it go a little bit longer but usually the lawn doesn't need the water or very much of it. I'll then hook up the compressor and blow it out before I do any hunting. I waited too long one year and ended up having to wait for a good and warm day in November to get all the water out since it had froze good and thing had to thaw out a little.

I too water at night. I have 9 stations and each waters 45 minutes. Starts at 9:00 PM.

We have a saying in Colorado. "If you don't like the weather, just wait 30 minutes..." It can do the opposite in winter. A week of cold-and-snowy followed by a day or two in the 70+s.

I love it.

Just saw where Los Angeles had it hottest day ever yesterday....over 121! Also Death Valley had the hottest day ever recorded on easrth earlier this month....130. Might be something to this global warming.

California is also burning up....again. Over 2 million acres and rising. So much smoke here this am, I can't see the mountains....looks like smog, smells like crap.

Had an old farmer from Iowa tell me the best answer I've ever heard when asked asked global warming. He said, there use to be 2 miles of ice sitting on top of what we now call Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa, seems to me like it's been getting warmer for a loonnngggg time.

hopefully that freak "global warming" caused snowstorm helped to put down colorados wildfires
