Central California my friend. We had some nasty weather on the first of January, which flooded 3 acres of barley. Its a slow process to pump it away, but it brings the critters around for some enjoment and varminting. Just hope your almonds don't get hit with wind, or they will blow their catkins all over the place. Usually down here, we are having 70 degrees on and off, and the turks tend to come out for awhile, then the wind and cold settles in again and they head for the oak forests.
