25 degrees this morning. Slight frost

Low of 26 with frost. It will probably be 8 months until we are this cold again.

It's happening

25 here. Looking forward to some warmer weather.

Now an exorcism should be done to correct the Tamaqua split.

It gone

Hasn't we've had a couple years recently where @powderfreakhit his high temps for the year in April? Lol

No, I just meant they are forecasting it as 11th warmest since 1950. I wouldn’t call that “another warm” summer. That’s colder than 5 of the last 6 summers, so I think most here would consider that to be a pretty cool summer.

22 here as well; back to back cold nights.

34 here

18F here again. Big warmup incoming though.

Not sure what happened, but CTP made a major correction overnight. Maybe mahantango's exorcism gif did the trick... Wednesday Night Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 44. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Thursday A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 55. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Thursday Night Showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 40. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Friday Showers likely. Cloudy, with a high near 56. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Friday Night Showers likely. Cloudy, with a low around 46. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Saturday A chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 61. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

28 imby w/frost.

It wasn't the freezing rain that got me, but the cold air and chance of frozen precipitation falling. I'm pretty sure the snow (hopefully anyway) wouldn't accumulate either. I'm not saying I want 75 every day going forward, I'm just sick of the cloudy 40's, and wish we'd not drop below 50 on the cooler days.

Eff this. 22-23F.

22 here this morning.

Wxrisk.com This current cold shot is probably the last REAL cold blast until late autumn. Now for the obtuse people in the back row you need to read that first sentence again carefully. yes of course between now and June 1 we are going to have cold fronts and cold or cool air masses. Obviously that is the case. What I am talking about in the first sentence are these cold blasts which knock us back down to the 20s at night and 40s to near 50 during the day. . All the data shows there is going to be a significant Ridge in the jet stream (sometimes extremely strong Ridge) that will be situated on the East Coast covering the eastern third of the country between now and April 15th. Any cold wants to come through will be weak and have no will push behind them. THAT BEING SAID REMEMBER SOIL TEMPS STILL HAVE TO WARM !! The old guideline zof waiting until aat least EASTER and preferably tax day...s till holds.

18.4° Hopefully this is the last morning of sub 25° temps.

Looks like its coming. From WTNH New Haven. As we head into the final days of March, a big warm-up is on the way. Highs climb into the low 60s Monday, near 70 Tuesday, and widespread 70s by Wednesday. A few inland spots could even approach 80°, depending on the timing of an approaching cold front. This is record-challenging warmth, so we’ll be keeping an eye on both Windsor Locks and Bridgeport, where official records are kept for inland and shoreline locations.

Down to 18F in the valley in E CT; need some warm weather.

This is from the guy who planted the Sabal Palm in Bridgeport which is supposedly the northern most palm tree actively growing. Looks like it survived this winter just fine. i planted this palm outside in 2009 after much research on the microclimate of that spot the bricks hold so much heat in the winter i would often see flies overwintering there in February it’s very close to Long Island sound the alcove blocks the north wind minuses Dr Franco’s mummy wrap from his book Palms won’t grow here and other myths and I think you’re right about the building leaking heat as 1.5 feet away from the foundation never freezes plus I think for years folks never really knew how resilient Sabal palmettos actually are there are examples of these bosoms growing in Tennessee zone 6 for years and years so i just took a chance we are plannng on opening up Sabal palmetto Bridgeport WED April 8th,2026 after the cold weather passes; what a winter 2025-2026

All the old Italian guys are growing figs all along the shoreline here. Haha What's more interesting is the palms people are growing here. They apparently use C9 Christmas light incandescent bulbs to keep them warm over the winter. This is a picture fom a house in Norwalk, CT on the shoreline and one in Stamford.

So far at about 0430, the lows so far: DCA 36 IAD 27 BWI 27

Yeah I did not mention lows as we are all on the same page. There are some great ways to mitigate urban heat islands that are sadly underutilized. Green roofs, painting asphalt white and mitigation of suburban sprawl. Regardless of the UHI influence (which is hard to quantify) it’s a historic and unprecedented run. .
