Everything has gone insane; They are now predicting this.

A snowstorm in the Northeast. Let's see, we are dealing with a madman in the white house, a deadly pandemic, financial ruin and snow storms in May.

Whats next? A tsunami strike that takes out the East coast.

A swarm of locusts devourer our food supply.

Aliens land and take over the world, then they all become Trump voters.

All elections are cancelled and Trump is crowned king.

The constitution is declared obsolete. Trump puts Alex Jones and Rush in charge of writing a new constitution. Trump declares they are smarter than the founding fathers.

If any of the above happened, I would not be surprised. Now that's insane.

Why do you drink
Why do you roll smoke
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote
Over and over
Everybody makes my prediction
so if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on
An old family tradition

I was thinking further north like Boston and north of there. But the gulf stream veers off at the south side of Cape Cod so, yeah, NY is warmer.

The Euro model for next weekend is cold and snowy in western and northern Maine - 10 inches possible.

Vermont and New Hamster are going to get clobbered - 10 inches possible.

It just got warm here in Montana but now it's chilly again until at least the weekend. Glad I keep my seedlings inside at night!

We had our most recent snow about two weeks ago, right when the daffodils were going to open, ten inches of wet snow that stuck around for a while, we had two sad daffodils this past week but the tulips happened so that was a nice consolation.

Right now it's bright and sunny at +57F and a brisk 20mph breeze with a wind chill factor, hard to be out there in that.

Hope they survive.

My rhubarb is coming up and my garlic crop is chugging along.

I'm sure the garlic can take the cold - rhubarb? We'll see.

I have some seeds in the ground but they just went in on Saturday. If it weren't for the "breeze" coming out of the NW with that chill, it would be right nice out. I still have to water later on, guess I'll wear an extra layer.

Every one of these "plagues' are of our own doing, and every one of them can be solved by us changing our ways.

We're screwed.
