For me that's "a Sarah Andersen day", but I don't think she would be glad to be associated with the concept.

Fruit growers consider it a disaster: "woke the trees too early"

-- the blossoms unfurl, the frost will soon kill them.

@tuban_muzuru indeed, I live in a fruit growing region, and it's very disruptive

@mrcompletely today I find myself very much enjoying finally having the kind of sloppy, snowy, sleety cold day we are supposed to have this time of year because it feels like the exception instead of the norm anymore.

@LostReflector we're about to get another firehose of rain (good, seasonally appropriate) but it'll be up into the low sixties bc the storm is coming from the mid pacific instead of the Gulf of Alaska, which is actually terrible, bc it could melt the nice snow pack we've built up recently. Our summer water is that snow pack melting into the rivers. That's how the whole thing works here

@mrcompletely Like this in late January? Stunningly beautiful day. Also depressing AF for the planet.

@drewphish yeah it's pushing sixty here which is madness but quite pleasant

@mrcompletely me when it’s warm enough for a casual stroll in late january: “it’s so nice out 😱”
