When is it going to snow?

About the weather

There was a chance of a low of 33 Friday according to the National Weather Service. It is Nov. 8. We are in USDA Zone 6A. The average first frost date is Oct. 17 through 31. There is a low of 30 predicted for Tuesday but if that does not happen we appear to be clear through the weekend.

Twelve days past the last predictable time for a killing frost is meaningful.

Two weeks seems like nothing but our impatiens should have been done a month ago rather than keeping the mums company.

Along the gorge, toadflax, also known as butter and eggs or wild snapdragon is still blooming.

Butterfly weed is still going strong as well. It is a member of the milkweed family with orange blossoms.
