So here we are on 4/18 and I have yet to hit 60F this month. I had a 60.0F on 3/20 although if you did ASOS 5-min averaging on my data my high would've been below 60F that day. That would push me back to 66.7F on 3/9 as my last day with a high above 60F. Just cheating and glancing at MOS, I could go without 60F for the entire extended period...

A month of April here without 60F would be lol worthy. I'm pretty sure Kevin cursed this spring with his early torch talk.

44F and getting some sun now. 50s tomorrow seem like a major win

25.7°. Never really radiated here either. The comfrey took a hit.

Man...all of you guys getting trees cut down and I can't get a friggin delivery of wood chips up here from Chip Drop going back to last fall.

Winter 2019-20 salvaged?

At least it isn’t an inch of rain.

Make that parachutes. Getting the ground white.

Because 70F with wind is bad?

We grauple.

First 70 here in may?

Never forget. Practically June.

Coating in CON. Cleared out at home and hit 29.9F but no precip. Sunny now.

Already 32F at 8B0 (Rangeley).

41/11 and a brisk wind. Feels like late fall/early winter with the crispness.

Nice day even though it’s upper 40s...as long as we have sun. Monday was torchy, but a complete crap day with the rain. I’ll take this in mid April over the aforementioned any day.

We had a hophornbeam come down last fall at work and I took some home to burn. I was surprised at how hot it burned in the pit.

Willow, thornless honeylocust (sunburst), and bald cypress will suck up the water too. I just don't want to grow any of those IMBY.

I'm halfway up my hill, but on the one flat portion of it. So all of the water seems to drain down 200-300ft to my area and just pools here before it drops off another 200ft toward the river just beyond my house. When I did my chicken run in 2017 we had a stretch of no rain for like 10 days and when I used the post hole digger the holes immediately filled with water right to near the top. It sucks. Maybe there's some clay too, but it doesn't seem that excessive compared to other places I've been.

Hope the euro is right in keeping most of the QPF south of here. We just can't dry out. I have water bugs swimming around in the backyard where the huge puddles never disappear.

He'll still be finding models in May that show a little blue pixel over NYC.

1.14” rain. Now we attempt to dry out again. Chilly week, but at least with sun we’ll be near 50° despite nights in the 20s.

A little update on the BOS MADIS... I wanna know what they did. That's a 3-4F jump cooler.

I'll take the under.

PWATs

Something here has been dropping a powdery white pollen for over a week. The only trees I see any activity from are the aspen and pussy willows, but I’m not sure where it’s coming from.
