JTA66 Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 About .90” of rain yesterday. Severe aspect aside, very typical event for us over the past six months or so—storm passed to our NW, trailing cold front comes through with precip, temps drop for a day behind the front, then they quickly rebound. 44F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 After the strong frontal passage last night much chillier today with highs remaining in the 40's for most of the county. Frost advisory is in effect for tonight with a low near freezing. Warmer weather for most of this week through Thursday....cooler to close out the week into next weekend. Records for today: High 86 (1967) / Low 17 (1923) / Rain 1.26" (1977). Today is the first day since November 9th that there has been no recorded snow on this date in county history since 1888.

My lilacs have started leafing out although I don't think the late-blooming one has flower buds up yet (have to look closely). That one doesn't normally bloom until May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted April 3, 2023 Author Share Posted April 3, 2023 Looks like I bottomed out at 32 at 6:19 am this morning (with dp having gone as low as 13) and then a couple puffs of a breeze broke that up.

JTA66 Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Wouldn't mind touching 90F sometime this month. I'm sure there's no correlation, but seems the few time we've hit 90F in April, we have a cool summer (1976, 2009). 62F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall a pile of heatwave or near-heatwave 3rd-week-of-Aprils during my years of living in an apartment building that had central heat/air and that didn't turn on the chillers until May. Ended up buying my own window AC to mitigate that. Glad to be in a house with a thermostat that I can control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I grew up with the "avoid planting until after Mother's Day" and for the tenders, we wait until after Memorial Day. A lot of garden centers have been wiped out in the past and will often hold back on putting out tender annuals (mostly veggie plants like tomatoes and peppers) until later in May, although a few forget and sometimes get their plants fried expectantly.

CoolHandMike Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Haven't seen this reported yet because it's just outside of Mt. Holly's coverage. That black line is the PA/MD border just to the west of DE; I grew up just north of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
