Overnight, we got a nice little ice storm with snow on top. On April 14. Several weeks after the "start of Spring". Forty-eight hours after a high of 88 degrees. Fuck. THIS is why anyone who's spent any time in the Panhandle knows you don't plant before Easter. And even then it's iffy. Thank God my little fruit trees are still dormant, but my black walnut in the front yard is fucked.

I feel your pain although no snow here got a bunch of work to do.Oh the joy of "spring".
yeah, i'm not planting anything until after Easter.
We had snow in the last week too. All I'm working on is clearing off the nasty little weeds that wanted to surface. Planting can start in May for all I care, the weather has been too weird this spring to plant normally.
We are do a small 1-3 over night ugh . I think mother nature is on some huge amounts of crack....
Next time you expose a root on that black walnut, cut a thin root off, grind it down and dry it. Brewed as a tea it makes a great painkiller.
BTW, we've been sleeping with our back door open for the cooling breezes.
I know, fuck you.
Thing is, wc, we were doing that too a mere 48 hours ago.
The difference being is we don't wake up with snow on our floor.
Okay, NOW, fuck you.
Up here in Yankee territory (Michigan) it's not safe to plant much of anything (except onions and lettuce) before Memorial Day. Even in "normal" years we usually get a frosty night in the middle of May.

Here in Iowa (idiots out wandering around) we don't plant before mothers day. I did notice that our Daffodils are bloomed out.
