Re: unseasonable cold front

It's been a roller coaster here, too, though nowhere near what you folks are experiencing. Our mangos are blooming for the second time, the avocado has had one long bloom period [at least two months], and only half the loquats ripened. At the same time, we've got orchids blooming in three trees. And all the begonias are still in full bloom.

this is horrible, does this happen in the Midwest every year?

It has been below freezing every night here for the past 3 days and
forecast is for at least another 3 nights. Tonight it is supposed to
get to 18, setting a new record for the date. Unfortunately, the
previous warm weather fooled many plants into breaking dormancy. Many
woodies have new leaves that will probably be toast. I have a couple
of young shrubs planted last fall that may not be well enough
established to re-leaf. Depressing.

What is w/ this weather?   I've been wearing shorts every evening
this week
until tonight and now I look at the forecast and we are supposed to
get rain
and snow showers Saturday night??  In April?  Snow showers?  What the
heck?   I checked the weather for Claremore and it says it's 33
degrees
there now?  It's in the 50's here but fixin' to drop tonight.  I
don't get
this at all.  Thank goodness I hadn't put the heaters up yet or
reversed the
ceiling fans.
