Every year on this date I always remember this snowfall on April 20/21, 2021. Hate late spring snow all you want, but the scenes were beyond stunning, an absolute nature masterpiece. It was the perfect storm. The spring greenup was ahead of schedule, then snow began the afternoon of April 20th and snowed all night until the early morning hours of April 21st. Temps fell to 32F for most of the snowfall, but as the snow ended towards sunrise, skies immediately cleared and temps fell to 29-30F for several hours before the late April sun did its thing. It created some surreal scenes. DTW saw 3.5" of snow, I saw 4.4", Monroe had 5.7" and Toledo had 5.0"

I haven't turned my AC on yet this year. It was a bit toasty yesterday but bearable under the ceiling fans. This morning i have the windows open and a nice cool breeze is flowing through the house and has lowered my inside temp 3 degress already. I'm guess this week will be the week i have to turn it on. Wish it would rain

Definitely need rain in middle south of I40. The winds have dried it out significantly. Drought & fires will be a more significant issue if we don’t get some soaking rains.

56 / 29 cool. Likely the coolest day of the next 7. Back near 80 tomorrow. Then a gorgeous Wed - Fri low - mid 70s. Next shot at rain now forecast 0.50 or more comes this Saturday (26). Timing to be worked out and as of now Sunday looks salvaged. Overall warmer close to the month and dry since the 16th with Saturday next meaningful rainfall.

I wanted to plant some perennials and other stuff this week and next. Was planning on this being a rainy period. Lol

Looking like an unsettled weather pattern is taking shape for the upcoming week. Chances of almost daily rain fall should finally reduce the wildfire threat across the Mountains.

Something like this is so premature LOL. Not saying it won't happen, but definitely can't say this will happen. Happen. We got plenty of time till we know for sure

Low of 51. We snuck in the ol' midnight high yesterday. Man, what a perfect Easter day it was, can't draw it up any better. We were outside playing yard games the whole day and having egg hunts, and it was just perfect. Hope everyone got to enjoy it.

Post pics of ice in water

For posterity, I spotted some minor undulatus-type clouds over the Manhattan skyline this morning while on the LIE.

Another warm day and night, high was 83.3, low 55.6. Close to records (89 1985 and 57 in 1992), but not quite there. Currently partly cloudy and 61.4/57.3 at 8:20 am.

The old Manny Alexander I like to call it

It feels like it's been months since we had a sunny morning. I don't ever remember so many cloudy windy days.

Can’t use HVN. *

We had a freeze early April-we are about 5 miles inland from BDR so always colder here.

BDR was 47 for the low. When we the last time you had a hard frost there? Been frost free here since like the first week of March in Branford.

Outside of a couple trees with some green blossoming, only leaf breakout this weekend was in Toronto last night.

Any day now

No frost here but the pollen is sure out.

Some signs of a light frost here overnight...hopefully last of the season. Thankfully we warm up quickly and thankfully the wind won't be as brutal as yesterday...made doing yard work a pain, especially cleaning the gutters.

No way

Ice in the water this morning. Plants susceptible to frost Gardening waits until after full moon in May

so has the pollen
