    Felt summery today with a high of 84.9, but reasonable dews in the 50s. We probably won't get the 40F swing tonight, we are just now about to slip into the 50s. I love heat waves in the mountains. It's so relative. Then a chance of frost on Thursday lol

    A warm but gorgeous one for us today. Currently 73 from a low of 41

    Same thing here with the afternoon clearing. Up to 76 with a DP of 45 - gorgeous. Low was 39.9... the 30s just don’t want to give up lol, even if by 0.1F

    Hehe. Third year in a row that I plant tomatoes - and fail. Who knows maybe we won't get a frost till October and they'll be fine! Highly unlikely. My kale and Swiss chard are doing great though.

    Already have one! But it's not quite the same...

    Well, the damage from the several consecutive days of frost and freezes has gotten pretty obvious. Even perennials suffered, and my super duper hardy grape vines are all nice and crisp. Everything should recover but when you have such a shirt growing season to begin with, it's definitely not going to be a great year for the garden. Oh well... There's always winter.

    Wasn't up early enough to see the frost, but I've learned my lesson - mostly - so just about all my plants are hardy enough to Withstand some freezing temps. Only thing that looks to not have made it is a couple of mini watermelon plants which I wanted to try out; they actually looked pretty dead yesterday after the 33 low, today was just the final shot. Everything else has some leaf damage at worst. Beautiful day though!

    We've had Moose sightings every day or two in the past several weeks, way more than I remember last year. I wonder if it has anything to do with the late leaf-out we are still just bidding at my elevation and the higher terrain is bare trees, so they may be hanging out to enjoy the new growth. Unfortunately I've also seen 5 road-killed so far this year

    Same here. How do you get an alarm on your phone?

    That's exactly how it was happening! I need to start paying attention to the sky, I didn't realize it was so common...

    Weird that this thread is dead but just saw northern lights over Bartlett for the first time tonight. Faint greenish glow, pulsing between weaker and stronger. Very cool.
