They changed the Shen Valley zone this year. I ignored it. Because I know my yard. April to early May frosts are normal. Bigger question for me is WHAT or WHO made them change it? https://www.ars.usda.gov/news-events/news/research-news/2023/usda-unveils-updated-plant-hardiness-zone-map/

Have a great time on your sortie.

well said... need to get to the center line as much as possible. the further in the shadow the better

What calendars did they put out? I only know the hardiness zones which is about wintering over.

Nothing like an icing event on the mountain when we want spring skiing.

Officially Philadelphia, Wilmington, Trenton, Allentown & Reading have not recorded 100 degrees since 2012, same as Central Park. A # of locations listed above are known warm bias sites, take for instance the Franklin Institute. Pic of that rooftop instrument shelter is attached. Any wonder why that location would run warm LOL. Newark is a joke and has been addressed on multiple occasions by the NJ State Climatologist. NE Philly & SJ Regional have been running out of tolerance warm for years. You clearly lack consistency & need to treat the warm bias rooftops, helicopter pads, an ASOS next to miles of runway asphalt & 12 lanes of traffic.....garbage sites with the same degree of scrutiny as you do with the supposed vegetation issues at Central Park.

Depends where you are. The USDA screwed up big time moving the Shen Valley to a warmer zone it appears. Dont get me wrong I would love to have an extra 2-3 weeks of growing season. But a lot of people are about to lose their gardens this week.

Rocking some pretty solid wind gusts in that area as well

Many Philly fans are a disgrace to humanity, news at 1 1

I was at the vet when Steve Jeltz hit a HR. Not many people can say that.

possible tornado south of Lincoln Illinois

The USDA should not have changed the zones this year. People are going to lose their gardens. I kept my stuff in the greenhouse. But this is why you dont fuck with planting calendars if you are the government.

Nevermind, 2022

After this weekend and the one middle of next week I think we should be done with cold shots after that

I went to a Phillies vs Braves game back in 2003, when they were preparing to wrecking ball the Vet and Mike Hampton took a perfect game into the seventh and these dudes a few rows down stood to applaud and got pelted with shit. Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk

Orchard grass is bad here.

Mow 6 in the books. I’ve never seen weeds this bad here in April. It’s a lost cause.

I have glass bottle thrown at me in 2009 at a Phillies game cause DiceK took a no hitter into the 8th inning and I applauded him.

Looks like most of Maine held off the gloom but it creeped into western ME towards late afternoon. There have been a copious amount of clouds here in AZ today as well, but still managed a high of 90. This is definitely the time of year when being in AZ vs the coastal plain of NNE pays handsomely.

4-1 NYR. But the beauty of the SC playoffs, anything can (and does) happen. Boston last year knows what I’m talking about.

Blanket tornado warning on that big line on S IL.

there have been multiple confirmed tornado warnings near and maybe in St Louis

Hopefully a wet, wild summer. Grand-finale ending with a few bomb EC canes that power through FL/MA/?NE.
