Crazy, bitch ass weather


Yep. That's the central and upper Plains.

I remember getting trapped at a buddy's house when I was a kid. Spent the day and night at his place on a 70° February day in a t-shirt and no coat. Next morning it was single digits with a 30 mph wind. I was about a mile from home so mom had to come get me, en sech.
 
Serious climate change. Burning all that fossil fuel Tuesday worked.

Burned my debris pile a couple of days ago.
We climbed into the 20's for the first time in a while and had about 5-6" of fluffy snow cover, so it was the perfect time to light 'er up.

Time to start anew.

Got to burn off a couple acres of habitat grass areas this spring. Got 2 debris piles from srotm cleanups in them. Might do a post emergent kill off afterward and reseed after that.

I try to keep mine as 'habitat' as possible during the winter time. It gives game birds some cover when every crop for a mile is out.
I let my 4 acre corral and around my pond go come late August. Whatever grows before the first hard freeze late October grows.
I leave 12 acres of brome completely alone outside of taking volunteer cedars or mulberries out. Not much else can take root in established brome.
The cedar gets transplanted elsewhere where I actually want it (wind break), the mulberry goes into the burn pile and it's stump gets the Tordon treatment.

My habitat is permanent. I use fire to regenerate. Most are native grasses and forbs. It has become "mature" and beed to regenerate the forb base. Also, by burning I can take the mulberry and volunteer choke cherry out to the ground.

10 day forecast
Highs in the 50's 60's 70's
Lows 35 for the lowest and mostly in the 40's

Last year, the last freeze here was Mid March, which was crazy.
Wondering if that's going to happen again.

Was that early or late?

It would be early for these parts.
