Another 'well below' normal period coming.

[Diggin It]

At least 'normal' is a bit warmer now than it was a couple of months back.

Did the Ocean conveyor belt ever start back up?

Finally, we hit +42F today. Day before yesterday was -36.2F. Spring has been very slow coming this year.

Looks normal to me. Last freeze is traditionally April 15 here, and last frost May 15.

Kind of depends which hill you're on.

Long as there rain with forecast...getting dry here already.

I been whining about the miserable weather in NC for over 1 year. 2 of last 3 years, way way too much rain.

Seems we are back to normal, old normal! Going on 10 days without a flood!

Bonny bonny time of year, 60-70, Simpsons sky, no humidity, little breeze and the days are getting longer!

We're finally having what I consider a "normal" spring after 3 or 4 years of what the …? Our redbuds and dogwoods are absolutely fantastic this year. We seem to be having the proper amounts of rainfall at the proper intervals and temps are only ever so slightly higher than the old normal. This week we're back to normal temps, 60 highs and 40 lows.

Just bought tomato plants yesterday but will not put them in the ground for another 2 weeks minimum - I've seen a dusting of snow here on April 21 before. I can remember 30 years ago we'd plant tomatoes the end of the 1st week in April without problems.

Mine have the tendency to bloom the day (or two) before a big wind event. No different this year. Majority of blooms were blown off shortly after they opened.

Yeah, dry here in the north country too. We had very little snowfall this year, most of that was gone by late March and only one rainstorm since.
Lots of dry wells here last summer...ours didn't, but it was pretty low. I'm already making sure all the rain barrels are full, might do a couple extras this year.

We can get a frost anytime right thru May. Peas, spinach, lettuce, etc. can go in mid-May but plants that aren't frost-tolerant like tomatoes, peppers, squash, etc. it's better to wait 'til the first week in June.

It hasn't quit yet, but they are worried.

This forecast is for 6-10 days out. That's not total BS, but you could predict the opposite with the same reliability. Stand outside. It's April. The weather is going to look like April. Shazam, you're a weather man.

It's why, SHE is the only one I really trust.

Supposed to be WET and COLD all week, yet today was Sunny, and a great day.

 

[Diggin It]

So, I look out just now and what do I see?


A Hummingbird!!! Two weeks early for most years and this one with another cool spell on tap. Scrambled to make some goop for it.

Beat this fella's... Perfect spring here as well

My radishes are coming up nicely.

Last W/E, shorts and no shirt. Now BURRRRR! That Sask weather must have made it's way here.

 

[dmccarty]

This winter was weird. It never got really cold, I don't think we got into the low 20's, much less teens, and certainly not in single digits this winter. However, it was never really warm either. We usually get a warm spell but not this winter. Then there was the rain.

The average last freeze day for us in April 15th. It was kinda cold this week, but thankfully, no freezing cold. Having said that we did have a freeze a week or so ago.

Tis the weather. It is hot or it is too cold. Too much rain or not enough.

Later,
Dan

A dry Fall and a dry Spring here. We always get snow melt runoff through the back yard but NOT this Spring. First time in 26 years.

 

[Diggin It]

Snow?

Frost?


Really?

Next Tuesday we will be 28 degrees overnight! All the trees are blooming.

Cover your tender vegetation as they say.
