Logan11 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I had 34 early this morning and still low 40s into the early afternoon, then the warm sector broke through for several hours and it jumped to 59, a few heavy showers with rumbles of thunder and we started crashing again. Strong west winds now and back down to 42 at 11 PM. Nice storm system overall.... 12 inches plus of snow across Quebec and 85F+ around DC....nice Spring contrasts. I wound up putting some seed down Sunday afternoon and no fert. This thread is dead lol. Its hard to get excited about cloudy with rain/showers everyday GFS is not indicating any major changes to the regime either - its a good spring to be a frog.

IrishRob17 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Rather gusty out there today. The grass is greening up nicely, won't be long now for the first mow of the season but not this wet weekend coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Very gusty here today. Lots of flurries and snow showers pretty much all day, but nothing that could possibly accumulate. The high was 41. Now 30...so a hard freeze one time anyway. Rather gusty out there today. The grass is greening up nicely, won't be long now for the first mow of the season but not this wet weekend coming up.

IrishRob17 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I had to cut the southside of my yard on Sunday. In some spots it was just to even things out, it wasn't a full mow, if that makes any sense. I've only put down some starter fertilizer in the larger spots that I had to reseeding. I have crabgrass preventer that I'm going to put down maybe Friday after this weeks rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Just posting to say hi. Last post here was just about 2 weeks ago. Nice string of great weather to clean up from the winter. Not much to comment on these days and I think many of our winter posters are just that, interested mainly in just snowstorms. It has been a great stretch of weather and I'm having a few people over this afternoon to take advantage of it. It's unfortunate that the rain is coming for the weekend but I'm not too bummed, I'm looking forward to a watering of everything in the yard and a bit of cleansing of pollen from the air.

Logan11 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 It looks like we stay dry through today anyway. The frontal boundary is hung up well north. That frontal rain won't even affect the HV through much of tomorrow. The new NAM does develop another area of rain tomorrow morning, but maybe I can eek out a few hours and run down and cut the grass in Saugerties..... After that turn out the lights for several days.

Logan11 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Well that was a very poor forecast on my part. LOL It has been horrid here since about 1:00 PM yesterday. Steady rain all afternoon yesterday. It quit for most of the night with just fog. Then steady moderate bands of rain all morning today, a few hour return to the fog/mist after noon and then more showers and one very heavy band. The temperature was in the mid 50s early this afternoon, but has now fallen to a nippy 49. quote name='Logan11' timestamp='1305383822' post='687060'] It looks like we stay dry through today anyway.

IrishRob17 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Everything is to our west so far but we have a ways to go. I have 3.60" for the week and I noticed on the way into work this morning water still running along the hills as if it was raining so the ground is plenty saturated. So things could get interesting later as far as flash flooding too if we get some downpours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
