When are we getting 80s? What do you call 50s in the summer?

When temps are 10 degrees below normal for highs, what do you call it?

Just noticed we were still using the winter thread so I create a spring one:

Just noticed we were still using the winter thread when it's nearly the middle of Spring!

Virnado? Pouring here...

If not tomorrow, that forsythia will probably bloom on Tuesday or Wednesday when the skies clear. Mine are slightly behind that but you run warmer than I do on average. 2012 bloomed on March 24th so you're running about a 7-8 days later than 2012. April 18th is the average date since 2002.

Yeah, my 7th warmest March so far. I'm not sure how the 4 majors are ranking.

For the majors? I believe so. Most Coops though are 7a-7a.

Glad I don't live there. 61 here.

56 here...will I make it to 70?

Looks like a few hours of 2012 and then it's back to March 2020. I saw some 70s south of NYC and 80s south of DC...even an 86 at one spot. Ouch! Glad we don't live there.

Accumulating snow...whoda thunk it? AEEK?

My forsythia are certainly not about to pop. The cooler weather the next few days will slow that process. I commented the other day that I saw a single forsythia in full bloom but other forsythia's on the same street didn't even have buds, just like mine. I think those are different cultivars. I'm still planning on going by the same forsythia bushes that I've been using for nearly 20 years to keep things relative and they are not about to pop.

Kevin considers full leaf out when the tips of the leaf are about 1mm out of it's bud on one tree so that could happen in March!
