frost here

sat says overcast which will retard recovery today ..but it won't be 33 tonight. 

tomorrow begins a period where cloud depending, the afternoons could be more consistently making a run at 70 for 3 or so days.  i noticed the 80s on saturday really triggered our green up process.   we were budding before, but now all sugar and red maples are flowered well out, and even the oaks are bud swelling.  it'll be interesting to compare at the end of the week.

BDR was 47 for the low. When we the last time you had a hard frost there? Been frost free here since like the first week of March in Branford. 

We had a freeze early April-we are about 5 miles inland from BDR so always colder here.

Around here the sugar maples flower about 3 weeks later than the reds.  I hope you're not looking at the early-flowering Norway maples (invasive pests).

Low of 27 here, already into the 50s.

Yeah Norway.

GFS pretty insistent on ruining another Saturday.

I'm planning on the 20% reduction of amplitude that seems to always be a necessary correction in the mid range to pull us back just over the tolerability threshold.   It looks like a fropa with the vorticity smearing out N of us.  there's are also some reasoning related to GFS specific biases to erode warm heights too much out in time but... it's all negotiable.

It can rain all it wants. I just need it to not be between 6-10a.

How?

-We live on a large treed lot with no pavement.

-The house is situated looking down a small hollow with a perennial stream running through it.

-Ceiling fans. Keeping the air moving is half the battle. (We also have mini-splits for cooling, but have rarely used them.)

-Acclimation: If left to it, the body adjusts to heat just as it does to cold. I play disc golf year round in often frigid, icy conditions, though admittedly, bearing the heat/humidity becomes more challenging as one ages.

 Nights are tough with higher dews though. That’s just the new norm. I also like it cool at night.
