Regular reminder that strong diving cold fronts like what much of the country is experiencing right now can be symptomatic of a destabilized jet stream caused by climate change. This morning and overnight tonight in Northwest Arkansas we will see temperatures around 17F (-8C), however temperatures will rapidly warm up and as soon as Thursday temperatures will be in the 80s and will crest around 87F on Saturday (31C).

Absolute wreck for flowering plants and trees, many of which came into bloom a full month early compared to recent years. While our garden at home is currently 'cold weather' tolerant vegetables and plants, I'm not sure they'll make it out unscathed.

Covered everything in tarps last night and letting them catch some sun this afternoon before covering again. The year-old Jane Magnolia in our font yard will lose all of its blooms and I'm worried about the new growth that had already started.
