Wind sucks today ughh.

Gotta be in the sun kinda day. Cold if you’re not; really nice, if you are. 
 

+/- 10 real feel type deal, depending.

Norways are leafing out and ahead of the game. Others not so much but I think oaks are several days ahead.

Leaf out exploded last 4 days. Beautiful day today, been between 60-63 all afternoon.

Amazing the amount of progress trees have made in last week. Full leaf out will be middle- end of week. Even Oaks. Pollen flying around today like Halloween candy handed out

Yeah all winter was super windy. Tip was talking about this, but something along the lines of warming earth means more energy in the atmosphere so more wind.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Pretty nasty day outside with the wind. 

[ineedsnow]

We start to bud but leaf out is not happening yet here

Just a lot of dry westerly flow and CAA I think.

I was In Somers today and didn't see one leaf. You must be in some kind of micro climate.

Dry weather doesn't do anything. You need actual eggs for them to hatch.

Do you understand what leaf out means ?

It’s when the buds unfold right?  I honestly can see how there’s some subjectiveness to it.

I don’t consider budding trees making the canopy turn a slight color as leaf out… I want to see at least some decent opening of the leaves.

I feel like folks judge it on a spectrum, like fall foliage.

“Leaves are changing” in the autumn to one person may mean you saw a red tree along a swamp.  To another person, it’s all still green.  “Leaf out” in spring to one person may mean some green buds mixed with sticks with one warm spot seeing some opening. To another person they are waiting for widespread green and opening of buds.

37/21 currently… it should drop now that the wind has gone calm.

28/21 at SLK, ha.

Growing season is so short in those high elevation valleys like SLK.

Nice day overall though.  The fields that got an early application of manure sprayed seem to green up real fast… especially after a heavy 1”+ rain. This is all cow corn in the summer.

we freeze tonight 

Tonight

Mostly clear, with a low around 29. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm after midnight.
