| In Texas, they use Bee Cave Bob, who is an armadillo, and he predicted an early spring. I don't put my faith in any of those animal predictions, and just consider them entertainment, not weather forecasting. Considering it has been in the 60s and 70s here in our county a lot the last few weeks and the spring wildflowers in our yard are starting to bloom, and the fruit trees are on the verge of blooming, I'd predict an early spring based solely on what I am experiencing here. It was 60 degrees here when I went outside at 7:30 a.m. but, this is Oklahoma, and I know good and well it could be 40 degrees, or 20 degrees, on any morning in February. Maybe what we are seeing is not an early spring, but just an abnormally-warm period that could change any day now. I just don't trust the weather here. Often a warm January or February is followed by a cold March so we all have to be careful and not let our guard down, or we could be dealing with frozen plants. |
