Like I said , summer in Northern Vermont.

79F yesterday to this disaster is cruel.

For sure! It's weird having options of stuff to do compared to Hillsdale lol

Crosby?

WB 18Z EURO...sigh...latest runs take Saturday's moisture mostly north and Monday's shortwave south.

Dont see this every day has a tornado emergency on it prob a ef4 + if it hits anything

Nice soaking sheet drizzle right now so that’s fine.

Get used to it. And the cold too.

Getting some good rains

We've had some rain last night and today but it's not been nearly as steady as south of here. Have recorded around .48. Looks like about double that around 40 and south.

Most of mine melted already. For sunny spots that still have snow, probably only 2-3" left.

0.28” here

It needed it two weeks ago. Mowed again yesterday. It’s been very dry . May 20 is the magic date each year for lawns in terms of when they look best and at peak. After that date it’s all down hill

Easing you into summer.

I hope things can pickup later because this has been a bust today east of the Apps.

Just got back from guiding a storm chasing tour over the past week. Easily the worst stretch I've experienced since I started doing these back in 2021.

you mowed too soon should have let it get longer before mowing

The long range theme is WET, WET, WET, or using ACATT translation - BLOWS, BLOWS, BLOWS! LOL.

No mow May is well underway, and my lawn is getting loonnngggg.

not sure about the rhody, don't look terribly abnormal.

.38 here was badly needed . Seed planted in places and lawn had slowed

I hope
