Boomer developing NW and western nj.
While out on a training day for work. Gorgeous weather from bay head to belmar nj. Beautiful ocean breeze kept temps diwn a bit but once further inland it was brutal. Got up to 97 in red bank, nj.
Brutal out. Breeze not as strong at work. Our track workers taking measurements at 10am showed 126 on the trackbed surface before they did maintenance. Can't imagine how much worse it got as day progressed.
Currently 96 at home in little ferry.
Got out of work and there was such a strong wind in Kearny it made it feel comfortable. Got home and it's a breeze and it's hot at home. Grass is turning brown already.
Not allergic to anything plant wise so i never have allergies. But this is the first spring that nothing was coated in green pollen from all the trees.
Just had a Facebook video reminder for May 9th,2020 and the snow flakes we got in little ferry. Was also amazed at how far behind all the tree growth was compared to this spring.
Ohhh and it's raining in Bradley Beach. Cold as hell too.
Only thing that truly got damaged was my citronella I had just transplanted. Most of it browned but is coming back nicely. My catnip looked bad too but rebounded.
Hostas curled up but nothing died thankfully. Any veggies we had in pots outside were dead on night two.
