This rainy weather followed by next week's warmth will send your grass soaring. 

Just in time to put my new lawnmower to use next week!

[mahantango#1]

.55 rain so far.

[Mount Joy Snowman]

Summary: .59” last Thursday, .06” while in the hospital, .49” yesterday, and a whole lot of sleep deprivation. Thank god I’m off work for a while.

I mowed for the 5th time this spring this afternoon.

Now, before people chuckle over my grass length fanaticism, my grass was nearly 8" high today prior to mowing. Yes, it has been growing THAT much...

I was the 4th person to mow on our block.  I'm usually the first.  My wife said I'm slippin.  First ones to mow were 2 weeks ago.  I was surprised at how early they mowed, but their grass looks great...

Which Easter?  PAweather Easter still looks good for flakes in the air.   The cold for the other Easter is not looking as impressive. 

HAHA! I love having my own holiday.

No mowing yet in Marysville for me or any neighbors.

I might get 8 inch grass by June.

 

I mowed last weekend.

So you like 95 and humid?

i do

Ugh...I absolutely HATE backdoor cold fronts that ruin my heat waves...

How can you not love that sweet sweet east breeze, bringing those glorious low clouds with its heavy refreshing mist rejuvenating your sunburned skin. Knowing that the 60’s you woke up to wont rocket up to the swamp ass oppressive 90’s for a day of pure relief. Shorts and a light long sleeve shirt and most of all no swamp ass feels glorious

Of course. 

Sounds strange, but many here are on the opposite end of the spectrum and like single digits and teens in the winter.

The question is, will you have to mow before either holiday?  It is possible some of us get 1/2 way through spring with no mows.

Beer bet sasy after todays rain....you'll be mowing soon and will be able to see it growing once the sun comes out.  My lawn already looked happier this morning.

The freezing (or close) weather coming this weekend will not promote too much growth either. I bet I do mow before Easter though.  When that warm weather comes next week.

It may be tough to get the mower started this weekend.   My old boy does not like anything under 55.   Would require startup spray or some gas behind the plug.

Morning - .66" of rainfall here:

.25" fell prior to midnight

.41" today.

Probably a top 5 weather "experience" for me - I love when that east wind kicks in suddenly and temps start to drop. Something I don't think about a lot but when it happens...yeah, you're right. That's a great weather moment.

aren't we to be sunny and high 50s this weekend?

Night time lows near freezing and current GFS highs are mid to upper 40's Sat and Mid 40's on Sunday (LSV).  Saturday in particular looks a lot like one of those days where it could rain or snow at anytime (no accums).  

Temperatures will be significantly below normal for the
weekend, but will rebound early next week as upper trough lifts
out and a ridge build in. Monday could be a transition day with
surface ridge directly over the area, then expect warm
springtime temperatures by Tuesday, as the high pushes off the
coast and a return southwest flow ensues.

Would not be surprised if some in the LSV see flakes (or graupel) on Saturday...along with the rain showers.  Whether capital of Enola or Capital of Harrisburg.  LOL

Best time, by far, in the summer to do yard work. Especially if you get a little more potent cut off low so you have a nice sustained 15mph easterly wind with mist. Keeps all the bugs away. Ground is nice and soft. Trick with the more potent ones is to make sure you’re out there early before any destabilizing can occur and your mist becomes heavier showers. But you definitely want a good stiff chilly breeze that acts like a giant bug slapper. Day like today is to calm

The Euro had MDT 2PM temps of 52 on Sat and 46 on Sunday. Scattered rain, snow  and mixed precip throughout the area both days.  Very similar to that very wintery weekend two weekends ago except a little less windy.  Accums relegated to western portions of the LSV.

That plainly just sucks. I have no other words to describe it.

More cold weather for the final 2 games of my 76ers season. Cold walk from the parking lot to the building - it never once warmed up nice enough to enjoy some tailgating this season.
