Idiotic weather...

[lspencer534]

This shit just doesn't add up. I live in the Deep South. It's the month of May. Temps are usually in the 80s at this time. What do I have instead? It's 48 degrees right now, wind is howling. Low tonight is going to be 37. My young garden is a goner--and it's already been re-planted once this year.

Grass needs mowing, ground is too wet. And to add insult to injury, the pantry is full of feckin' food and there's not a damned drop of liquor in the house! :mad:

It was mid 80s here on Wednesday , currently 45 windy and pouring down rain. I guess I cant complain too much since they got snow in Kansas City.

What happened Larry...did you leave the gin out and Annie got to it :rofl:

[DAB]

tsk, tsk, tsk....very poor planning counselor. :slap:

going into a weekend without essential supplies?

[Ol Timer]

I should get +5 for information sharing. This is bullshit.

All is not lost: I went to the liquor store, so I'll be coherent any minute now. Plus, I have a pot of Taco Soup simmering on the stove and a pone of Mexican corn bread in the oven. If you ever make Taco soup be sure to add both a packet of Taco seasoning and a pack of dry Ranch dressing. :drool:

Blackberry winter

[lspencer534]

Blackberry winter

I had not heard that term, so I looked it up:

"In south & midwest North America, Blackberry winter is a colloquial expression referring to a cold snap that often occurs in late spring when the blackberries are in bloom. Other colloquial names for spring cold snaps include "Dogwood winter," “Whippoorwill winter,” "Locust winter," and “Redbud winter.” The different names are based on what is blooming in particular regions during the typical spring cold snaps. Another colloquialism for these spring cold snaps is "Linsey-Woolsey Britches winter," referring to a type of winter long underwear which could be put away after the last cold snap. The Blackberry winter term may have arisen to describe the belief that a spring cold snap helps the blackberry canes to start growing."

Very interesting. :seasix:

I was thinking we should probably get vaccinated, but your idea is good, too.

We actually got a trace amount of snow yesterday morning, about 1/8" or so. I can't ever remember it snowing in May here. Every time I have a breakthrough week in golf, the weather turns to shit and I get rusty all over again. :banghead:

Hey, at least you didn't get 4-5" of snow like they did in KC. We have had virtually nonstop rin here since Thursday and forecasted to stay that way through tomorrow. Even after it stops the courses will be swamps for a couple of days. There is standing water everywhere

You guys got shit on this year. KC is in a different weather zone than down here in Joplin. I'd say it's about a 5 degree difference and about three weeks earlier spring here. But this spring has been wet and cold, and we're lucky to not have had any hard freezes the last several weeks.

I am actually in IL just across the river from STL (no!... I am not in East STL) but have a number of friends and coworkers in KC.

Most of the courses around here have been CP only for some time. Last time I tried to play... hole number 1, my tee shot plugged half buried in the middle of the fairway. We ended up finishing number 1 and going back to the club house for a rain check.

I was in a tournament last Sunday and the group ahead of us was taking forever to finish number 6, a very easy par-4 (I actually birdied it when I finally got a chance to play it.) One of the kids in that group came back up the cart path with a very pissed-off look on his face. I asked him WTF was going on. Said he hit his drive nice and long and high just right of the fairway, a fine place to be, but couldn't find it. It had plugged and now he had to take the penalty and hit another. I felt sorta sorry for the guy. :lol:

By Wednesday afternoon the fairways were drying out just enough that you could hit down on the ball without risk of a mud shot. They would have probably lifted the cart path only rule Friday, but hell it's rained a bunch since then. At least there is grass now.

[Rob]

I just want to get rid of this hangover :slap:

I went out to the store in shorts today and it was about 45 degrees. Kinda coolish.

I hope my tomatoe plants are ok, they are down on my dock just above the water so I feel they will be.

Peaches will be awesome this summer.
