Ellinwood Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's nice, but sooooooooooo friggen boring. If I wanted this weather I'd live in SoCal. I'm sure the gardeners/lawn owners wouldn't mind a little rain, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVclimo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 We had a 28 degree low early last week during a freeze warning that verified. Later in the week, we had a frost advisory with a forecast low of 35. The low was 35, but no evidence of frost. However, the farmer whose apple orchard borders my back yard panicked when the frost advisory was issued, and in the middle of the night started burning hay bales all over the orchard in an attempt to "save" his apple trees. Unsuspecting neighbors called the fire department who started arriving en masse after 5 a.m. but took no action. The smoke was obnoxious. At sunrise, visibility in my yard was about 200' and the smell of the smoke permeated my whole house. Hope tonight's freeze warnings don't compel him to do it again.

CranberryWX Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Today is one of those perfect days. It's cool and dry, but with a warm sun. Nice refreshing breeze and the air is very clear...the sky has that perfect blue look..no haze in the distance. Currently 66. Life is good!

Bob Chill Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Talking about this weather is boring for sure but man, i'm having alot of fun enjoying it. Hiking, biking, reading on the patio, playing various games with the kids, some early season fishing, and plenty of disc golfing. The only "normal weather" that isn't boring to talk about is normal snowfal but we fell a bit short of that this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 you weren't scraping off your car that morning like I was I guess. The smoke must have done the job. My daughter with asthma had to wear a mask to walk to the school bus. If he's burning again tonight, we'll probably get a room somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did burn again this morning, but farther away in the orchard. Saw them piling up hay last evening when I got home. There's an odor this morning, but no smoke. 30.6 in my yard.

CranberryWX Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 My soil is bone dry. There hasn't been a decent rain since the middle of March. The grass is slowing down...we should be cutting it twice a week this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah it's boring here. The boring weather hits other places worse. Although I do find it intersting how September is the warmest and coolest month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodneyS Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Yeah it's boring here. The boring weather hits other places worse. Although I do find it intersting how September is the warmest and coolest month. I wondered what the highest temperature ever recorded in Quito was, and found this: http://www.washingto...ito_ecuador.htm Does anyone here believe that the 106 degrees listed for April is for real? Note that no other month has ever reached a high of more than 88 degrees, and Quito is 9,200 feet above sea level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Not sure which day in April but if it was 2011 it's possible that it was caused by the Tungurahua eruption. Maybe the winds blew the right direction. An anomaly like that has to be caused by something unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Records are in the mid 80s for every other month. 108F is a typo or a thermometer in the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinwood Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Calling all Mets. April cooler than normal? What is your call? I just looked at Accuweather's 25 day product and temps are significantly below average. 2nd half looks to be above normal, but not by a lot. Latest Euro weeklies support normal to above, with weak belows at the start of May. Don't ever look at the Accuweather 25 day product again.
