While eating breakfast this morning, I pulled up the Weather Channel and was surprised to learn that snow depth at Truckee, California (near Lake Tahoe) is about 9 feet. Truckee has received ~6 feet of snow in the past week, and is expecting at least 2 feet more through the weekend. Ski resorts around Lake Tahoe, where the snow is much deeper, normally close in early May. With snowfall records occurring this year, they may stay open well into June, and the locals are ecstatic.
By stark contrast, New Orleans is expected to reach 83 F today, which would be near the record high for this date (85 F). The sugarcane crop in Louisiana appears to be nearly a month further along than usual in early spring growth. Our spring garden is looking great as well. We won't be benefiting from it this year, since it will belong to someone else after we close on our house early next month. But we're enjoying lettuce, radishes, and onions from it already.

Wow, 83 degrees! We've been enjoying the mid-50's up here...
That's too bad you won't be able to enjoy all the fruits of your labor in the garden! If I were moving in I'd be super excited. :) Now you get to learn the ropes of a different climate, right? Should be fun...
Your garden looks wonderful. Too bad you don't get to enjoy it the rest of the year, but at least you are enjoying some of the fruit now. so that's nice.
