Heh...euro op

Didn’t expect to wake up this morning to clear skies. 43.9° min

No comparison to March. That was warmer, longer, and almost a month earlier.

Upper 20s is pretty weak for a zone 5 plant. I left a fig tree out in my 29° snowstorm last May and some of the buds and leaves burned up, but they put a bunch of new growth out. Another possibility is they were raised in a greenhouse and the leaves are actually burnt from the UV. I put my figs and avocados out this week after being in the basement all winter under grow lights and they got scorched and are brown and dropping all leaves. They always pit new growth out after that though.

They didn’t ship dormant? They’ll probably come back. Are they in the ground or did you leave them in the pots? How cold did it get?

NCEP vs Foreign models. RGEM/EC/Ukie are much drier for CT.

76F May not be this warm again until May.

74.0 All a dream when we wake up in the morning.

I had the Stein of my life. And I owe it all to dews.

It’s the variants...but if the vaccines help prevent severe disease who cares if people are testing positive? If fully vaxed people are getting very sick and dying then that’s another story. Somewhere along the way the narrative switched from worrying about hospitals being overburdened to worrying about people contracting the virus at all. We’re going to have to deal with living with it and getting it...we just don’t want to die from it.

I miss my lupines, but they’re poisonous to chickens...so they had to go.

72F Soil temp is pushing 50F quickly after climbing over 32F a little over a week ago.

We kinda luck out on the euro op and the end result looks like something similar to this week with the ULL offshore and warming trend toward the weekend. But I can see how it could verify a lot cooler/wetter. The ULL over the Great Lakes and the one east of us slow way down and then the Lakes one gets Mr. Fujied to our south around the one east of us. We get a few days of shortwave ridging and then dodge the other bullet to our south. Odds probably say it trends toward a less desirable solution, but we hope and pray.

Those departures are biased toward the mins. In his defense he did say “highs”.

Up to 70F.

Well we know only one person believes that.

Looks like my highs in that stretch were 53,56,53,56,62,49,52,53,63 So yeah it sucked, but if that’s the worst of the season then it’s a win. We were coming off of 70s/80s before the 22nd too.

I said that’s not too bad for a crap stretch in April. We can pull multiple days of 40s or u30s with RADZ that time of year.

NNE flow off of Lake Winni is keeping the cumulus at bay at home while it’s BKN skies in CON. Deep blues along the coast too. Difference is no maritime influence here...up to 66°.

Definitely Stein. Get a spring/summer with near normal or above precip and a moose fart in the valley will climb the mtns and produce cumulus.

Yeah...I mean it's allowed to rain from time to time...even in torch springs. If something like that is our worst stretch I'll take it.

50% is a sunny day for VT.
