Yeah weather pattern is going to flip to colder than normal and stormier than normal by about March 10-15. Just in time for a cold spring.

As a Northerner we refer to a "hard freeze" as "winter". lol. I find this whole thread surreal.

(edit - only 89 downvotes so far. I'm underwhelmed. You can do better)

Hopefully not as bad for plants as it is for pests.

More temperature extremes and fluctuations are part of the lovely experience called climate change.

I saw some trees budding. They're going to be real confused in a couple weeks.

Spring isn’t officially until March 20th…and a freeze prior to the first week of April isn’t that uncommon. Articles like this make me roll my eyes.

This warm few weeks we've been having... followed by a hard freeze is going to really fuck up the insects... thus the birds etc. Not good.

For planting, I feel like mid April is safe to put in the ground.

I have two trees outside my apartment. One tree who has budded, and one who has not. I like to think the tree that budded is some hotshot rookie who thinks he can weather the second winter with his petals and shit still on, whereas the second is a grizzled veteran who knows what’s coming and is shaking his head that the kid is gonna fuck himself up for the long run

Oh absolutely going to be bad for them. Been exactly my thoughts seeing everything open up. Poor guys. It’s how the climate works when the polar vortex becomes irregular. Hot and cold bounce across the earth like a rubber band. I just moved up to Virginia from east Georgia, and the climate isn’t too different. These swings have been occurring consecutively for the last 3 years. I anticipate a second week April frost. But that’s just me.

I garden a lot. I have no professional knowledge besides the nagging urge to learn lol. Edit:a word

Since we moved here in 2006, we've had two good accumulating snowfalls in early/mid-March, as Google Photos loves to remind me of every year.

100%. It is another symptom of global climate change.

For some fruit trees it can be bad. My berry bushes and coming earlier than normal, but they're cold hardy enough that they should be fine. Trees though that are mostly cold hardy but not usually budding now can be completely killed, or at least killed back to the ground to have to regrow up from the roots. If it's flowering early, there's a decent risk of losing all the buds and getting no fruit this year. People might need to cover trees they don't usually need to.

Nice. Have fun and ride safe, man. I hope your wife enjoys it too. I really like having Sena comms when I am with other people. Makes riding with others more fun. They are a good investment
