OceanStWx Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Is that the p/c? Well there would have to be snow in the grid point for the P/C to spit it out, but yes, in general that formatter is terrible and we have little control over what it says.

wxmanmitch Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 24° F for a low this morning, which is definitely delaying the annual opening of the buds on the trees. As much as I loathe them, I often use the Norway Maples as a benchmark to assess how far spring has progressed. The buds on the Norway Maples are enlarged, but they have yet to burst open and reveal their yellow-green flowers here. Much later than last year, when they were opening by the first week of April.

OceanStWx Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Oh it was just a little fun with Coventry, he loves the p/c. I know. I happen to hate it, especially in the winter. "Snow, mainly before 8 AM. Then sleet from 8 AM to 9 AM. Then rain and snow mainly before 2 PM..." I get that we want detailed forecasts, but it's mostly false precision.

wxmanmitch Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Those are coming out here, but at a first clip in the city, vs the burbs. Elevated nocturnal temperatures with the urban heat island probably has a lot to do with it. It speeds up the leaf out in the spring and delays defoliation in the fall. I've seen Norway maples in urban areas retain green leaves into the first half December in urban areas, especially during a mild year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here the only trees that are active are the Red Maples with their seeds, Forsythia just opened about 3-4 days ago and Daffodils and Narcissus are about 75% opened. Down by my Dad in Enfield spring is further along with most trees breaking buds already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, those two mild days we had a few days ago really sped it along. Many of those trees have the light green tinge to them now. Leaf out for those trees will be soon.

Down by my Dad in Enfield spring is further along with most trees breaking buds already. The red and silver maples are actively flowering here as well. Forsythia are not quite open here yet, but they're close. Daffodils are about 50% open. At this point last year, the daffodils were past peak and withering from the heat and dryness. They opened in late March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Shorts are worn every day from here on out. With the warm sun and a long sleeved shirt its comfortable I wore shorts once last year when we were going to a Rock Cats game for camp. First time probably since 7th grade I wore shorts. Well one time we were playing baseball like 3-4 years ago and I was really hot so I took off my jeans and played in my boxers at this field.

I remember having discussions in a thread last yr Not quite up here, at least not fully leafed out, but certainly so around Hartford. My Sugar Maple, Ash and Birch are all lifeless right now, last year everthing blossomed at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modfan Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 If we run a dry stretch here of 4-5 days and no green up will run a elevated brush fire risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
