The only place anyone should be planting this early is in a hoop house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz George said there’s a chance for one next week… But in all seriousness, it’s gonna get very cold next week it looks like, and it’s an active look as well…so you never know I guess? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His veggies are done…what a silly neighbor. Mid March and he’s planting stuff that can be killed by frost. Does he realize he lives in SNE, and not Georgia?

weatherwiz Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I would wager this airmass has some legit legs. I know sometimes we get this late into the season and we'll see models very aggressive with such airmasses only to modify as we get closer, however, this one looks to come straight from the polar region. Not like these other airmasses (more Arctic) which come at us from central Canada and then traverse the upper-Midwest and sort of lose steam. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doubting that it's been way above normal, but I've noticed that DXR temps have been consistently higher this winter than previously when compared to surrounding temperatures (including my own).

I count exactly one from New England at present, the fellow from Monson (Maine) who occasionally chips in on snowmobile discussions. Northern NNE may bag a foot of paste between now and Monday, but I anticipate mostly cold rain with catpaws for here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Models are painting an extended period of sleet and ZR here. My limited history in this spot is that this will be snow or rain. We don’t seem to get a lot of sleet and ZR here. If winds are W/NW it might be wet snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CAD is pretty deep....so you may get some sleet....the sfc winds are not strong and out of the E or NE. It will be interesting to see your obs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 3 hours ago, HIPPYVALLEY said: Depending on how deep the temperature anomaly is I would be worried about fruit trees in SNE. I don’t remember what year it was (2018?) but we hit single digit lows in late March and the peach, plumb and cherry trees did not produce that summer. Here it was 2010. Jan 1 thru May 5 averaged +6.2, capped by those first 5 May days with highs averaging 78°. Leaf out was at least 3 weeks ahead of usual, then May 11-13 had lows of 22/26/25. I'd not planted anything yet, so the garden was safe, but new growth on ash, oak, apple and some maples was fried - trees had to set new buds and start over. It was the 2nd year in 3 that we had about zero from our 3 apple trees. (In 2008 a cedar harvest across the road had attracted dozens of deer. When that cafeteria closed in late Feb, all the critters came to my place and with 40"+ of solid pack to elevate them, they trimmed essentially every bud.)

That's been signaled for a a few cycles now...as soon as I saw that westward NAO block slowly decaying on ensemble guidance, i was thinking "here comes the wheel o 'rhea".....hopefully there's enough cold to make it snow instead of 37F rain and drizzle like would happen 2+ week later in the spring. April '96 had a similar look with that ULL spinning in place that managed to produce 2 storms out of the same trough....so you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
