soil temp still in low 40s? ill need to wait another week for the pre emergent

2010 had our warmest April (of 28), also the warmest Feb, March and July. Earliest leaf-out I've seen here, unfortunately followed May 11-13 with mornings of 23-26°, killing off lots of the tender new foliage (and all our apple blossoms). Easter 1976 is well remembered, as we drove from mid-90s NNJ to stay with family (bro-in-law & wife) overnight in mid-90s Boston. Our 1971 Beetle's engine would be pinging with heat whenever we stopped. At their apartment entry, a rat ran across in front of us, too fat to get into the hole so it had to run around into the alley. Next day we drove home to Fort Kent, where it was only 60 (we loved it) and the snow hadn't finished melting. Then 2002 duplicated 1976 with mid-month heat, though not as widespread. Next sign of spring here: Wood frogs were quacking in the old stock pond. Peepers should open up by Tuesday.

Today way back in 1894 Chester County shoveled out of the largest April snowstorm in County history with over a foot of snow across much of the county including 29.2" at the Coatesville 1SW NWS cooperative observer station. Nothing like that in our future this April as after near normal temperatures around 60 degrees both today and tomorrow we start a nice warmup peaking with high temperatures in the mid 80's both Wednesday and Thursday. Our best chances of showers arrive by the end of the upcoming work week.

Thank you! You finally admit you don't know which stations were used from the 1930's thru 1980's to make those chilling adjustments to the one specific station (Coatesville 1SW) for each of those adjustment years!! It only took several years LOL!!!

Heck of a way to run an El Nino

20 days to go!!!

Weeklies, by the way:

Very surprising to see franklin have 5 more inches than highlands which is 2500' higher in elevation. Also, the 5" at cataloochee is questionable compared to the very high totals in the valleys near there.

Ditto.

Tuesday looking like it could be a fun day for most of us

We might grow for the next 18 months now that winter is canceled for next year

And it would be colder if we didn’t have cc!

I'm thinking 90+ is in the cards this week. Its been fairly dry recently and there's still a lack of vegetation to curb high temps.

We will be fine. Lived through drier years and we survived

He’s just trying to stir pot…we don’t fall for that nonsense.

I quoted and responded to your silly post yesterday. It was comical…cuz you were trying to say that what you see ahead is something you’ve never seen before in April . I hope we have some good warmth coming…but it’s nothing even close to record breaking, or exceptional.

They need every bit that they can get.

CC? Good luck with that after this week.

This.

Euro weeklies ignored but Euro 8 month super el Nino accepted, and ACATT has an agenda?

Use the quote function. I know you know how. Deranged.

Not at all. You said you’ve never seen anything like what you see coming for April before, and that’s blatantly ridiculous.

This is going to be one miserable allergy season. Heat, wind, dry. God help us.

It was a very interesting storm, there was speculation that there was a down sloping factor coming off the Taconics in addition to where the banding set up. I know over near Milford PA it was a disaster with lots of down limbs and trees, I was fine missing that.
