Speaking of which, left Lincoln with broken clouds, hot home with a drizzly misery mist. went up the cog yesterday though, great day for it.

Funny. My perception is quite the opposite. There seems to be a lot of days when it’s gratuitously overcast compared to other areas - even aside from the persistent winter upslope days. So many times leaving here socked in clouds just to arrive south of the notch in bright sunshine! I’ve also noticed that some plants that are typically shade plants (hostas for example) thrive in full sun here (not sure if that’s related to cloudiness or just general weather). Still love it… but we do get lots of cloudy days in my experience.

Some crazy downpours and hail here.

We had a single shower today that dropped 1/10" in maybe 2 minutes. It was like a bucket of water just came down from the sky. Soupy but tolerable (69/62). Not that it makes a difference, my house is always the same exact temperature lol. Can't imagine not having AC.

For some weird reason it's down to 75 here when it's still 80-81 all around us, and it's not radiational cooling since it's quite windy

35.2 overnight

44.8 this morning. Down to 43.2 now. Seems like the 30s are likely. Just no frost please!

In the meantime as we talk about the incoming heat, down to 48 already at 930pm. Gonna be a chilly night.

Spent the week in St Maarten. Talk about great weather for outdoor activities lol! The temperature is pretty much perfect.

36F, off to St Maarten!

86/59 here but it’s pretty heavenly with the breeze

That makes sense. That’s the pattern that I’ve observed here. Warmer but drier. Which really bakes my garden lol. Then once the dry heat has taken its toll it hits it with frost. I’m starting to see why so few plants grow well in this zone.

Interesting hearing you say that. Do radiators tend to heat up more? It has struck me in the past that during the daytime we can reach some pretty high temperatures here given the elevation

Mittersill at the base of Cannon is pretty close to 2000ft I think

Funny that it was warmer than 2 nights ago when we had no freeze warnings.

What’s up with the ticks this year? They are out of control. Not much in the way of flies yet... but the ticks are ridiculous

Peak foliage in June?

Yeah I'm very annoyed. I just put out some squash plants and they look fried. Grrrrr

Had a few rain/snow showers today. Snow line for accumulation seems to be around 2500ft

What do May snow showers bring?

An inch or so of snow to start off May

41 degrees and snowing

2.02” here. Now down to drizzle / light rain

Frozen stuff starting to mix in even though the temp is 45. 1.74” and pouring

I’m actually partial to the bears. Had a cub cross the road in front of me a few days ago very close to where I saw the moose today (ie right outside my driveway). Their cute factor is way higher and they’re really fun to watch. I love seeing them. But Moose are cool too!
