I mean it’s all relative. It could be +10F for winter here and it’d still be too cold for me. 1877-1878 in DLH Dec +15.6F Jan +9.3F Feb +15.6F (yes same dep as Dec) Mar +11.8F Roughly +13F for DJFM is pretty wild

He does have a sheltered valley there and I’m sure it’s a local min on rad nights. But his temp is still too cold from no proper shielding. If everyone was near 32° there I could probably buy 28ish, but 24° would be a New England min excluding HIE. lol

WWWLT If I did that it’d be 45° in here by Halloween

Mins…MHT is still having issues, but looks like they were around 34°

24° at Maple Hollow!

Frost free under the pear tree

FBI is coming to your door…

29.9°

Meanwhile at elevation…

31° Guess I need to run out and bring plants in. Damnit.

39°…probably a mistake to not bring the seedlings in… Swiss mins for tomorrow morning here

Sure…not saying it was cold overall. Just that there were still periods of record cold east of the Rockies and within a Std Dev of snowfall. Summer 1816 had some 90s up here too. But yeah, there weren’t many cold shots in the upper plains and midwest that winter. Blowtorch.

CON’s 2nd coldest temp on record was in Jan 1878. 50” of snow on the season which is BN but not a ratter in the period of record. But that was in the middle of a stretch of very snowy winters.

It’s been pretty breezy here all morning since I first went to let the chooks out. 43° and SCT skies. Not sure we hit 55° here today. We tend to drop 25F on rad nights so I start worrying about freezes imby with highs 55-57°. So the potted plants will have to come in tonight.
