We have big swings in temps. from here to there.

Yea, a lot depends on where the flow is coming from.  Being on the west side of the mountain, with lots of valleys to my South West, a SW flow means we warm up easily.  It was also cloudy most of the night here.   Just the other side of the mountain (and a bit North), Cashtown is 6 degrees cooler than me.  MDT only got down to 50 as well.

49 here.  A pretty consistent theme between our two locations is me getting colder than you at night and you getting more rain than me in most events.

I agree, and would say the rain thing is probably more of a "dumb luck" kind of deal whereas the temp discrepancy probably is more based on met reasoning.

I read this smiling and shaking my head simultaneously - I'm now what...nearly 2 months into mowing season here? I'm probably over a dozen times now.

I could have mowed one more time in between but it was not growing (like the trees) and I have the yard professional managed with preemergent and feedings.  Just up the hill from me, the trees have no buds and grass is still not growing.  It's weird.  I suspect I will start mowing pretty regular right now with all the rain coming and seemingly no more frost.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if you were referring to a specific geographical area, or were listing the counties represented by our posters. 

Expand  

That would have been too much work to try and confirm that I had them all.  LOL.  Not sure anyone here, that is regular, lives in Chester (or Perry?)

Completely agreed, although perhaps there is a touch of impact on rain totals with you having a bit of elevation on me and rising up off the river.  Who knows.  Temperature difference is definitely impacted by me being in a low-lying spot off a ridge and having my back yard butt up against very rural terrain for miles and miles.

Hmm, its gonna be wet a lot as well.  I think I will have to mow twice a week for a but in May but that is rare.  For me to have a dozen mows right now, I would have had to start mowing in Feb.
