Finished with 1.47" of rain, .02" since midnight. My overnight low was 43, currently it's mostly sunny, windy, and 45. Very warm out front away from the wind and in the sun. A little chilly out back in the shade and wind.
Might be one of those big discrepancies between us over the next 24 hours. CTP doesn't have me getting below 40 overnight with mid 40s tomorrow. In fact, I might not see a sub-freezing temp here over the next few nights.
Next week will be full-bore spring. Looks like each day gets progressively warmer throughout the week. If colder weather does follow it's going to be a shock to more than just a lot of people.
We've had flowers up for a week and a half. There are area of my yard that are >6" high.
If I do get to mow today, I will be the 3rd on my block this week to do so. I am behind some of my neighbors. One mowed last Sunday.
MAG started this "I'm mowing for others" campaign, and I'll just say this right here, right now...mowing other people's yards is truly an incredibly kind and wonderful gesture. It really is. My hat tip goes to people who serve others like that. The world needs a lot more of those kind of people. So if I must concede the trophy this year for that type of service...easiest decision I've ever made.
We can't even do rain right now:
Tuesday: .50 - 1.00" forecast- .24" actually fell.
Today: .50 - 1.00" forecast- 0.00" so far.
Today's fail has been pretty epic. Going to put up a crooked number over the next couple of hours but it's not going to be much.
You're not kidding - between January and February combined (58 days) there were only 18 days with highs below 40. And only 3 of them out of 29 days in February. There were quite a few (5-10 roughly) between 40 and 45...but if it stayed in the upper 30s on Saturday, it would only be the 4th time since January.
That info is from MU's Climatology page.
Rain is the one thing that can keep forecast highs from busting too low. Both CTP and the local forecasts have me getting into the low 50s on Saturday. Many days colder than that this year. Will be interesting to see how that plays out. I'm inclined to take the under on the 50s.
49.6 to be exact in Maytown. I'd like to know the last time Clearfield County was 20 degrees higher than here. It isn't super unusual for SW PA - but in that area, yes.
Correct - I got in trouble in 7th grade English for staring out the window at the snow falling in Marticville. Mr. Musser didn't seem to understand the significance of May snow like I did.
Yeah I know, but I question the 75 and Partly Sunny they're forecasting for June 1st.
Like seriously...why is that even visible online to people? Is there anyone looking at an outdoor event on June 1st and saying "yep! We good! Forecast is for sunshine and mid 70s!"
I'm pretty sure that when I'm sitting in Citizen's Bank Park on March 28th for the 3:05pm season opener it will be 41 degrees with a 22 mph wind at the ballpark.
