So far i am liking this month with the split flow and active upper levels. May get another shot at heavy rain Friday. Just keep the rain coming every week. I can't seem to break lower than 43f. But no 80's for highs so far.
Yesterday was sunny with high Cirrus clouds and temps around 60. Right now it's a mild morning in the low 50's but I worked last night so I'm cold. High of 67 under mostly cloudy skies today. Tomorrow sunny and windy with a high of 61. I'm liking this and if winter can stay in the 60's I'd be really happy.
Camellia's are broadleaf evergreens and they do well. The park next to me has a lot of them and they never die off.
In Southern Louisiana you can grow satsumas. In fact my favorite rum (the world over) is Satsuma Rum from the Bayou Rum Distillery in Hackberry, La. It is the best rum on this planet. My late aunt had a grow of satsuma trees in Welsh, La which is near Hackberry where the satsumas mainly grow.
By the way, if you ever like rum, stop by that distillery. Yummy!
This shows you how "deep" the growing of citrus is in southern Louisiana. Oranges no, but satsumas yes and by the way, they are far better than oranges.
Well I know of a commercial citrus grove in Grand Bay, AL that grows navel oranges and satsumas and grapefruits. I saw the trees for myself out in the open around other satsuma trees.
Also, this article though older (2002) states that farms do grow navel oranges in South Louisiana.
Louisiana growers produce 17 varieties of citrus — ranging from Washington navel oranges and the popular satsumas to grapefruit, sweet and sour kumquats, and blood oranges. In Plaquemines Parish, orchards line the highways, and roadside stands are plentiful from Belle Chase to Boothville. For shoppers who don't want to make the trip south of New Orleans, Louisiana citrus is abundant in grocery stores and fruit stands across the state. Vaughn said this year's navel orange and satsuma crops will remain strong until mid-January, when production will begin to taper off. "Louisiana citrus gives the state's residents a higher-value crop," he said. "They can enjoy wholesale prices at roadside stands and enjoy oranges, satsumas, grapefruit and other citrus products picked at the peak of flavor."
The severe arctic outbreak I will miss up in Indianapolis. Thank God I’ll be in Subtropical Fort Worth Texas when it happens; I’ll be there by Friday night.
Dry pattern here continues. Days are mostly around 40F, nights around 30F, and sunny every day. A bit boring, but nice and comfortable. Not missing the snow at all, especially not after the disaster on Thanksgiving
Modified blowtorch across most of the US until the pattern change flips by late December at the earliest...
