Horizontal Snow

[Jerrymac]

Yes, Really! It is snowing horizontally today. I look out the window towards the highway which is about 250 feet from the house, and I see the little snow flakes there coming right at me, appearing  bigger as they get closer. We almost always get snow in March. Here is a little of what it was doing last night

Jerry, you do the weirdest things.  That is what you did last night, every hour checked the wind speed?  Hee, hee, you are a funnnneeee dude for sure.  You have told us many times that you live in a windy place.  By looking at the chart, it is pretty windy.

I remember you having some concerns about growing the Canary Creeper Vine seeds that I sent you because you thought it might blow the plants down.  Did you have any luck with how they grew, I knew you started the seeds and they germinated, but did they grow and produce flowers?  Off topic, I apologize, but the wind you speak about made me think of comments you made, probably about a year ago.  Have the most beautiful and greatest of this awesome day, Cindi

While most nights I am up quite a bit, no I didn't do hour by hour recording. The national weather service does it for me;

Yep. I got four canary creepers started in the house. After I placed them outside, three died pretty quickly. The fourth struggled for awhile and I thought it was gonna make it, but alas, the environment is just too hostile for most living organisms. Superman came here once and just couldn't handle it.
