Cool man, I'm guessing this isn't a normal state of affairs most years. I am fascinated by a green desert, that's all. Nice!

[K7SGJ]

Usually it does turn green, but it happens later, usually towards the end of April. Normally, the wild grass and weeds don't last very long, either. With all the rain we've had lately, it's brought up weeds I've never seen before, And, usually the weeds don't get very tall during years of normal rainfall.

Have you any pics of the cactus' (cacti?) flowering or is it past that point already?

Not there quite yet.

I wasn't sure on the flowering timing, but that is so awesome when cacti start flowering. Be sure and catch those if you get a chance for us, please.

Thanks Eddie for taking the time to take and share those pics with us. I appreciate it!

Cool man. I never seen the desert in meteorological Spring. Weeds you never seen before, eh? Amazing innit?

Little too warm winter, some frosty nights, and a small flurry of snow, hail eetc, now back at sunny and 13 degrees Celcius, next week going up to 15 -18 C.
Good riddens to the "winter" ;)

We still have a major blizzard on tap for Tuesday with heavy snow, whiteout conditions, and high winds raging up to and over 50-60 mph creating massive snow drifts. It's supposed to start Monday night after midnight and continue through Tuesday night into Wednesday where it will taper down into snow showers followed by continued subfreezing temps and possibly more snow on Saturday. It's wild its like winter is catching up for what it missed in spring... Assuming this blizzard does materialize as expected it will be 2.5 -3 days later than the famous March blizzard of 1888 that literally buried New York City in well over 50 inches of snow and massive snow drifts. Actually this blizzard will overlap the blizzard of 1888 since the 1888 storm ran from March 11-14 and this storm March 13-15. The 1888 blizzard came after a bout of very mild weather, very similar to this oncoming storm.

Yep, saw the weather reports about it, and wondered about it...... it is March...
We;re here at 53 dgrees North, same as Alaska, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/53rd_parallel_north but the warm Gulfstream keeps us in a relative warm sea climate.
Enjoy the snow..... brrrrr.
Though the cutting the grass season here doesn't make me happy either.
