I clicked thinking homemade sausage……
Oconostata?

No idea what that is?
I don't know why I know this.
Chief Oconostata of the Cherokee. He was from Alabama and his name was translated to groundhog sausage.
I think it was in a book about South Carolina and a fort back in the late 1700's ... then again it may have been something I read in one of my seminars at Bama.
I hate those damn weeds.
Poa Annua? If you spend a lot of time on your turf, it's a pain in the neck unless you use preventative measures (pre-em mentioned earlier.)
I still find it crazy they still use that strain of bluegrass on golf greens.
My lawn care service uses a really excellent grade of pre-emergent; still, these little bastards seem to pop up every once in a while.
If that barrier is broken, it's going to happen. Most of the time that'll be an inch, maybe two. I've seen dogs (male) scratch enough after taking a piss where's it's torn up...literally seen strips of Poa Annua like a divot because folks let their dogs out.
I've been using Pendimethalin for years because it's the only thing I've had success with controlling both seasons of crabgrass.
I sold a lawn service back in the early 90's to Orkin when they jumped into the business...to say the least, I do my own.
If I was as knowledgeable as you, I would, too.
Yeah, but the payback must be well worth it! For me, Montana is the most beautiful state in the union!
57 here today 
A couple of snickers today at the expense of a guy mowing the next door neighbors lawn in a constant wind of 20+ with gusts 45-50. (And no kidding, a friend of mine was on his kayak in a bass tournament yesterday; will be today.) It's going to be around 26° in a couple of hours. By Monday, it "shorts and a long sleeve day."
A weird coincidence this happens when the clocks spring forward: like a reset.

I can't remember when it was this cold in March in LA (lower Alamama)
It's spring time! Old man winter, Not so fast.
It was 1982 or '83 maybe, we woke up to 2 or 3 inches of snow in the B'ham area on April 1'st. Happy April's fool day.

'85, maybe? It was my last year in high school in Huntsville and I remember the ice storm that hit pretty hard. I thought that was Feb. 1st.
That was a wild night. I remember coming back from a basketball game in Decatur and seeing the electrical lines breaking on the horizon. It looked like a fireworks display in how it lit the sky. (One of the few times we won on a road trip there.)
