This morning when I left house the National Weather Service was predicting a very hot day and the temperature was supposed to be 100 degrees. I thought this was a really good deal because I would really be able to put up the hay and make some progress in getting things done.
Well, the National Weather Service was wrong. It never got above 90 degrees around here and when it did get that warm it all of a sudden turned around and cooled off to 80 degrees. I got some strings wrapped around some hay but not as much as I wanted because it was just to cold.
Don't get me wrong, I am kind of glad it didn't get as warm as they predicted since that just drys everything out and makes it nasty. The cooler weather is better for the grass but it would be nice if they could get it right. It ruined a good days work I had planned in my mind though. Isn't that just horrible?

Febuary Weather
I saw this story about the weather this morning and the first thing I though to my self was, "why does Lorna Thackeray always do the weather stories for the Gazette?" Every time there is a weather story in the Gazette Lorna is the reporter and I can usually tell you what is going to happen right after words. The exact opposite of what sh reports. This time though her report is pretty neutral.
All the cold, cold temperatures were balanced by the too warm temperatures for a neutral February Temperature wise. Moisture was down in Billings, it was down here too but not as bad as Billings. It's dry there and I saw some farming going on that direction while here it's muddy and underneath the mud the ground is still frozen. No farming here.
What's the rest of the spring bring?
The rest of the spring is who knows what. Long range forecasts are terribly unreliable so deal with what comes and do your best.

February weather extremes added up to a near-normal average temperature for the month, says Keith Meier, meteorologist in charge at the Billings National Weather Service Office.
The end result of chilling lows and stunning highs was an average temperature just 0.2 degrees above normal.

What's the rest of the spring bring?
The National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center found no clear signals one way or another for temperatures or precipitation for the rest of March. Its long-term forecast through May anticipates below-normal temperature this spring and an equal chance of below- or above-normal precipitation.
