jbenedet Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Sometimes we have to head north for the best weather. Gorgeous day in Portland ME. Partly cloudy, right around 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 But not too far north - mostly cloudy, right around 50. This will be my least sunny April of 21 here, though far from the wettest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 I know down in Southern New England the forest canopy is leafing out. Up here it looks like late November. Other than green grass you would not know that it's spring. With this pattern I wonder how far we can get into May without Leaf out in Northern New England.

Yeah that was May 26th or 27th I think. I think that was 2010 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet snow most of yesterday. Cold rain most of today. Grass greening up, enlarging buds on the lilacs but everything else is just brown and gray. April and May are interminable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom12309 Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 HTFU installment number 1. Went to Margaretville yesterday, rode a 55 mile group ride with 5000 feet of climbing, five climbs first three on dirt the first with the last half mile averaging 20 percent. Nearly all the climbing in 35 miles. Paved descents in graupel was like getting your face shot peened. Average temperature about 35 degrees, 15-20 mph west wind gusts to 30. Feeling good about completing it well ahead of several of my club stalwarts until I saw one account. One guy from the club rode to the ride, did the ride, rode home. 160+ mile day, 10000+ feet climbing, started at 4am home at 5pm. Yesterday. I ain't complaining about the weather any time soon.

CoastalWx Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Defintely slowed over last week. Hardwood maples aside from Norway ones still sticks with some buds. Some oak species around me getting tiny leaves, but as I drove around, most oaks are just sticks with some buds too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been doing a spring time lapse in the woods behind my sugar house in the CT River Valley for my youtube channel and I'm on week 6. You can see small leaves on red maples and growth coming up from the forest floor but I would say that we are behind here too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=013j_KVXzW0 Here in Stafford it's about a week behind that so hang in there.

Damage In Tolland Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just now, ineedsnow said: Leafing out pretty good here Massive difference between valley and hills . We are 10+ days behind you guys. Lack of snowcover in valley and a much warmer Morch , more direct sunlight and daytime temps that are 6-8 degrees Warmer makes all the difference.

powderfreak Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 What is this leaf out people talk about? My yard still looks like the snowpack melted yesterday. Just crushed by the weight of 4.5 months of snowcover and brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and son hadn't been in the valley for a little while and were really surprised just how much further along things are but it's really just the time of year. A month or so later and it really won't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are getting faked out by those city Norway maples. Where it’s 65 or 72 isn’t going to be a huge difference. And it’s cooler in the valley at night too.

They are way ahead. We don’t have those Norway’s here in CT like you do. Not nearly as many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any fully leafed out tree, most are just putting out seed. In nearly 10 year's of living in Coventry at 820', leaf out was around May 5th.
