Ukie would be snow if it went out 6 more hours to get precip in here.. The CMC. Icon. Hmmm If you extrapolate the 84 hour NAM out a few days, looks like that would be snow as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had 28 or colder in every May here, and usually more than one per month. We could do without a late (given early plant phenology) frost disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I for one would not mind a nice overrunning event end of next week to break the tension. Interior is not having a snow less March and if it does I will be shocked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cooler weather the next few days will slow that process. I commented the other day that I saw a single forsythia in full bloom but other forsythia's on the same street didn't even have buds, just like mine. I think those are different cultivars. I'm still planning on going by the same forsythia bushes that I've been using for nearly 20 years to keep things relative and they are not about to pop.

One of the issues with leaf out monitoring is there is not a universal definition of what constitutes full leaf out. I’ve seen people claim that when the first leaf structures are visible bursting out of the buds. Another is the leaf is out of the BUF but it’s clearly not full sized yet. And other times I’ve seen it as defined when the leaf is out and at or close to mature size. This is true in the literature too. You can find different definitions.

CoastalWx Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Everything is stupid early. 2012 went apeshit with vegetation from here on out. If we had several days of 65-75 I think we’d be right there. I’m noticing even magnolia buds are swelling and turning color. Ridiculous. I think the warmer ground due to lack of cold temps are starting to accelerate vegetation. We have not had cold nights at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summery feel and vibe That for sure, but also somewhat disturbing. Going on three months in a row of 5+ above normal temperatures is a little disconcerting. This is the first winter I've ever recorded that the temperature didn't drop below 5° and will be only the second in almost 100 years that doesn't happen in the HV. I have a streak of 12 winters in a row below 0° which will obviously come to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 18th-22nd had the absurd run of 80s. I think well fall behind 2012, this week doesnt look ideal for advancing budding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah unfortunately it’s the world we are now living in as the climate zones are moving north 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
