It's been getting warm enough for some bee's to begin buzzing around my yard. Yesterday it hit 70, but wintery weather surely isn't done yet. This is the time the blizzards can show up.

Yup, Grant, and boy did we get one last saturday. Went from bare ground everywhere, and temps in the mid-40's to 15" of snow, and temps as low as 4*. Really heavy, wet snow, too, and now frozen hard as a rock.

I'll swap the heat here for your colder weather right now.
Past week several days pushing 40c the rest high 30s. I'll be glad when its over.
