eastonwx Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Freeze Watches out for late Monday, early Tuesday. Hope no one was foolish enough to put out warm weather flowers and vegetable plants yet. I have some cool weather plants out and have sprouts from seeds I planted 3 weeks ago. Should be OK, but will probably cover anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Average person probably doesn't understand that March warm-ups are virtually always temporary. Hell, even my parents were surprised to learn that it will probably be in the 20s Monday night. I don't think they've planted anything out yet, though.

stormspotterlive Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Turned out to be a perfect Sunday evening nice temps and the skies cleared to crystal clear here in Northeast Philly. Got to hand it to the Nam model it nailed the tornado out breaks it nailed the rain in taxes and has now nailed this weekends sprinkle event. Lets see how long this stretch of accuracy can last. Not sure if anyone has looked at the long range but both the euro and GFS putting out a coastal system. Not sure I buy it yet but hey it is something to watch and is a system that could bring some much needed rain. Enjoy the cool temps early this week after all it is march!

Parsley Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Could have used a Blowing Trash Warning in the city today... No joke, my large green waste management container was pushed a good 10 ft. (empty) by the wind. Also, some small limbs (3-6 feet) falling off a few trees on my block. Temperature now around 50 with a strong north wind.

NaoPos Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Per grothar- today's wind will help the exceedingly dry conditions and if the temp reaches above 61, everything will spontaneously combust. Hell on Earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I couldn't stand the "breezy" term used in forecasts I saw around the web today. I think to the average joe anything sustained over 20 mph with gusts over 30 mph would be perceived as "windy". Saw PTW airport had a gust to 48 mph. Impressive and believable based on the fact that some of my lawn furniture ended up in the yard next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Sorry, I used the word breeze yesterday. I did not think the pro's would use that term. I knew it would be windy and gusty but yes it was bad. I would wish we could get a south wind to bring in the moisture with winds like we had today. Those winds were the last thing we needed today. Many of the weak branches from the Halloween storm fell in my backyard as they are starting to leaf out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 27.7 in NW Chesco this morning and still dropping as of 6:30. Don't think this is enough to cause major damage to my fruit trees even though they are in flower with small leaves. I'm quite sure we're not done with freezes though, so it could be a different story in another 10 days. My max wind yesterday was only 23 mph here in the valley. BTW, my yard is pretty dry for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Parents appear to have only made it to 31.3. Wind kept them up all night. Thought it would at least break through 30. Oh well, guess that's good for the explosion of growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top soil with clay base and rock will do it. I dug down into flower beds and is damp. Grass is getting very green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
