Ha, this time of year you need to get over 1,500ft-2,000ft to enter winter.  Living above 3,000ft would be a trip.... just snows relentlessly in the winter.  A lot of QPF throughout the year.

Living down here at 750ft on the valley floor though, we just have our big temperature swings to hold on to.  

9F drop in the last hour and 14F drop in the last two hours... warmth just vacates as fast as possible in the valley as soon as the sun goes down.

The pattern is as favorable as possible for multiple snows in mid and late April for interior  as there can be . It’s hilarious actually

Wtf.  25F.  Growing season in reverse here. 7 days in a row now below 32F.  6 of those in the 20s. 16/21 days at or below freezing as well.

I do not not heat my greenhouse, by this time I typically wouldn't need to anyway. The past 2 weeks have been close to killing off some of my plants in there, my strawberries started flowering a week ago. It has been consistently 80s and 90s during the day, 30s at night...

Actually got to 30.7 here which is rather chilly for my hood.

Min 28F here...looks like 26F for CON. MOS is still a record for Thu morning with 17F. I think 12z had 16F. Hopefully it's one of those deals where they rad like mad and we stay a little mixed and like 5-10F warmer. Maybe we don't end up radiating much at all and it just ends up mid 20s with a breeze.

Saw our first bear of the season overnight on camera too. It looked relatively younger than previous ones we've had.

28F here low as well.  Glad some sun is out this morning

That sucks.  Hopefully you don't lose anything

It's 5 days out...worth keeping an eye on. Goofus is like 0.75" of snow here Sat night. I'd sell it, but this has been an f'ed up month.

i mean....if it's gonna snow, let's bring 'em to the ground and make it worthwhile.  Honestly though I'd rather snow than wheel o'rhea.

[powderfreak]

22F for the low last night... brrr.  

Already recovered 20 degrees in two hours though up into the 40s.
