Daffnet,
It is snowing lightly here in Gaithersburg, MD and it looks like someone has
taken a spray can of silver paint and sprayed all the trees. There is only
enough snow to cover the grass. My driveway is keeping itself bare.
Tom said that it was going to be 11% “F” at his location tonight according
to the forecast.
We are being forecast for 17% tonight here by weather forecasters in the
Washington DC areas. However, after being here about 30 miles on the
Northwest side of DC for 12 years, and on top of a hill, we are usually 10%
colder in the winter, get more snow, and in the summer just a little cooler
than DC. So I’m expecting single digit temperature numbers tonight. My
‘RES’ at the mail box has buds higher than the foliage and my long line of
‘February Gold’ down my driveway is about 10 inches high with buds just out
of the ground. Experience tells me that daffodils are good here to about
18% “F” so I’m expecting them to take a little, “too” severe, cold freeze
tonight.
Somehow I’m going to have to get a bulb of Dubius for my breeding program.
