We grow

[Typhoon Tip]

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.

Ice in the water this morning.  Plants susceptible to frost Gardening waits until after full moon in May

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 

No way

Some signs of a light frost here overnight...hopefully last of the season. Thankfully we warm up quickly and thankfully the wind won't be as brutal as yesterday...made doing yard work a pain, especially cleaning the gutters.

No frost here but the pollen is sure out.

Outside of a couple trees with some green blossoming, only leaf breakout this weekend was in Toronto last night.

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.

GFS pretty insistent on ruining another Saturday.

wet pattern coming up

Was driving on 128, South of the Pike on Friday, the Norway maples are already showing green. Def leaf out for them by end of week.

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.

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.

1 inch+ of rain on Saturday does not really equate to an upcoming steining.

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

Final seasonal snowfall totals for the 24-25 season. I added some stats on the side for the climo sites and compared them to normal.

Another F here, but we’re on to spring. Great graphics as always. I know that’s a lot of work.
