February 2022 So Far Warmer and Drier Than Normal

By Pam Knox

We are halfway through February 2022, so it’s time to take a quick look at how the month is shaking out climatologically so far. For most of the Southeast, temperatures have been above normal. The exceptions are parts of western Alabama, southern Georgia, and most of Florida. Precipitation has been mostly lower than normal other than a band stretching from Mobile Al through northern GA and up the spine of the Southern Appalachians.

There’s a Whole Barn Buried Under This Field Now

Video: There’s a Whole Barn Buried Under This Field Now

There's old hog barns under that field now. The old hog barn site on the farm has been sitting there for decades, and this is the week it finally came out: concrete pad, burn pile, charred lumber, all of it loaded into a CAT 725C rock truck and buried in a pit we dug back in the timber.

Tork's been waiting his whole life to drive one of these, so he gets the keys to a 50,000 pound rock truck and I ride shotgun. The excavator loads, the dozer clears the timber, the drone shows the whole site from above, and by sundown there's nothing left of the old place but a smooth patch of dirt. It's a weird feeling erasing something that was here before either of us, but the farm has to keep moving.
