Mount Joy Snowman Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 In the 18 years I've been coming into Harrisburg, that may have been the most brutal April walk I've ever had. The winds were absolutely howling through a couple of the alleyways. Glad I broke out the winter jacket again. Also, I have now received measurable precip on six consecutive days and eight of the last nine. Carry on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 This morning was our first sub-freezing morning since April 2nd and our coldest morning since the 27.9 on March 27th. Behind the early morning cold front today's temperatures will be almost 20 degrees below normal for April with highs struggling to reach the lower 40's across the higher spots. The good news is we will see our first couple dry days in more than a week. A hard freeze will occur tonight with temperatures falling below freezing before 10pm tonight and lasting till around 9am tomorrow morning. So be sure to cover up or take in your sensitive plants. Tonight, will be our coldest April night since back on April 3, 2021 when the low was 26.3. We have an outside chance to reach our coldest April levels in almost 10 years if we fall to lower than the 24.5 degree low back on April 6, 2016. The below normal temperatures will continue all week with temperatures finally returning to near normal by early next week. Rain chances to ramp up again by Thursday afternoon and could last through much of Saturday. Current models have some significant rain amounts with between 1.25" and 2.00" of rain that could continue to ease any drought concerns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggest difference between the two of us occurred with the late week event when you reported .41" while I managed to receive 1.03". What will the late week bring us this week?

I got very lucky - there was one wave that brought most in our forum a few tenths of an inch while I somehow got over 1". I'm ducking out early today to go home and try and mow the swamp.

If we get another 1-2"+ things are going to be downright soggy in my yard. Drought be damned. What is your YTD total? I'm at 7.52". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have two dogs in a fenced-in area and between the pissing and digging it's doing a number on my once-lush lawn. Dogs, I love 'em but man they're a lot sometimes, especially when you have toddlers that take priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two years of her life, she struggled with mobility issues, among other things, so I just left her pee wherever it worked best for her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 So I post HERE about seeding and fixing my lawn, and suddenly I get Facebook ads for landscapers, Scott's fertilizer, and Pennington grass seed. Unreal... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unreal... They care about you having a great lawn! They are just looking out for you. It's a wonder they didn't recommend a tanker co. to deliver water to you to keep the your planting area moist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard of 93 Posted Tuesday at 11:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:41 PM The 18z Euro is looking even more interesting for areas of the LSV back towards I-81 on Saturday am.
