Im confused

Maybe there is no point of posting this but I feel like it is a puzzle worth some sort of reflection.

I live in a valley whose elevation is below one thousand feet. We are located about a hundred miles north of the 45 parallel so not so terrible far north. We get snow from time to time in the winter but actually not a lot. There are an occasional year when snow totals an inch or two for the whole winter. We have relatively mild winters and spring comes in March. The fruit trees are in bloom. The tulips around my front porch are in bloom. It is the middle of april and the flowers have been in bloom for a while now.

But there is three inches of snow in my backyard this evening. You know that white stuff that occasionally falls out of the sky in winter. Well it fell most of the day today and its not winter. I am sure I have never seen snow anywhere close to this late in the spring before.

Does it mean anything?

Maybe nothing more than that's the way the wind blows sometimes, just not often.

100 miles north of the 45th parallel must mean you’re near the 46th parallel.

4/6 is a date familiar to members of the Church of the Latter Day Saints.

When I shared me ATI with me new Bishop, he was mostly an A hole, and said I should be talking to the EQ President, but not him. The funny thing there was that our ward was just west of the Fashion Place Mall in SLC.

My ATI is the top pic at march8miracle.org where too is posted a pattern based on when it was taken. When I looked up the contact information as Mr. A hole suggested, it was all about #46. Dudes address was 46 West, and his home and cell numbers ended with number 46. :lol:

That was 2006 when I was TBM having just gone through the temple, before the ward reorg.

Mostly confusion reigned until 2019 as per information available via links at cited URL.

In April of 1987 we moved from Phenix City Alabama to Marietta Georgia and I will never forget that was one of the biggest snow storms to ever hit the Atlanta area this late. In 35 years it hasn't snowed in April since.

I have between 4 to 6 fingers on each hand.

Something’s going on, here …

Your post is timestamped 2:04am, and is the 6th post in the thread. Just you try to explain that.

We live a bit south of 47° at an elevation of just under 200': last week we hit the low 70s and had snow the next day. The past couple of days we've had bouts of hail, with enough accumulation to allow the building of smallish snow/hail persons. Uh, or so I hear.

My B-day is mid March, and I always have a good size garden. I always plant just after my birthday. 4 days or so ago we had two nights of frost and we lost about a 1/4 of my garden…ten plants or so, cucumbers and peppers, and several plants are hanging in but might not make it (Tomatoes). Earlier around January I also lost all my citrus ( blood oranges) because of frost. I live about five miles from the Redlands Ca. Temple, which is surrounded by Orange and Avocado orchards, I don’t know how they faired.

Ouch -- I'm sorry to hear that, Markk. We can (and have) grown tomatoes and peppers outdoors, but our weather makes it a roll of the dice: some years are great, and others we get to learn all about disappointment. There are few things more satisfying than going out to the garden to get fresh food, so a few years ago we finally gave in and put up a small greenhouse; I don't know how we ever got by without it. We still try to grow most of our veggies and all our fruit (but no citrus!) outdoors, but tomatoes and peppers stay 'indoors' throughout the season.

That sucks. I hope that these were seedlings as opposed to something that you purchased already potted up, because at least that’s be less of a dollar loss and you’ll not lose so much time with starting fresh seedlings, if so.

All of our self-starts are still in their pots and get moved out on the sunny days. We just started those seeds a few weeks ago, except for the tomatoes, which we bought ‘6-pack’ sized from a local grower. Last year we lost all of our corn and half of the tomatoes to a late frost, so we are waiting a few more weeks ‘just in case’ before committing to getting these in the ground (and not doing corn anyway this year, as it’s ornamental and we have plenty still from the last two years).

The pumpkin plots are ready and waiting for the small seedlings, and I’m looking forward to getting some flowers out into the yard.
