I gave up waiting today and hit the Agway to feel "Springy". I picked up the 4 stage fertilizer for a deal ($160 plus $30 rebate) for the 15k bags works out a lot better than almost $60 each during the season.

I also obtained seeds from my buddies garden from last year and setup an indoor seedling station to get things going, made me feel better.
Cool! I got my setup going now. Peppers, Tomatoes, and Eggplants.

March 26 Update:

Let's see if fog, rain & 50s can do it this time. What a duration! Looking at snow from January with April in 6 days

It's become scattered 1-3" still around, some in full sun too. Piles hard as a rock.

Funny how small piles this time of year would be extreme here let alone standing snow still.

Some snow depth reports and maps. Looks like 9-16" still in Litchfield County there. Norfolk 17". Bakersville with 10". Wonder what those folks are saying.

NERFC Snow Page
U.S. NIC
National Snow Analyses - NOHRSC - The ultimate source for snow information
Providence, RI 02901 Area Snow Depth






This shows the ice coverage in yellow. Hudson Bay still frozen. Most of Lake Erie as well. Ontario Ice gone a lot.



I see some nice spots to ski & snowmobile in Northern New England still

No way is there 9-16" of snow pack in litchfield county. I drove through there on my way back and forth to VT last weekend and there was less snow than in FFC. Markedly less.

What part? Those numbers listed are coop observers where someone physically goes out and measures. I see a 5 and 4 in litchfield as well so all depends where you are. Im sure off the main roads there is less. And of course 10"+ is select spots like Norfolk, Bakersfield, Staffordville, ect

I'm usually tilling soil by mid March. Even last year, a late year, I had started by March 24th. I tried today and Ground still frozen. WTF. Couple hours in the 50s not cutting it and the long duration snowpack sure didn't.

I mean its April next week and I haven't been able to do a thing outside and the shovel won't got past 2" down in the garden bed. Gees

Bridgeport Sikorsky still reporting a trace which means there's snow scattered on ground somewhere.

Up rt 7. So Kent, Cornwall and Canaan. And after the rain this week there's even less. You sure these spotters aren't using centimeters?

Snow sticking in Colebrook CT this morning after the rain and on top of existing snowpack as well.

Not much melting next 3 days.

In Woodbridge, CT this morning. No baseball yet. Amazing to see here! And this isn't NW corner. This is between Shelton and Hamden..
