Itstrainingtime

With all of the talk about cold recently, I had to look up the average date of the last frost in PA. Here are the dates in regional generalities: Southern PA: South of Turnpike: April 21st and April 30th I76/South Central PA: May 1st to May 10th Ridge & Valley: May 11th to May 21st I80 up to Rt. 6: May 21st to May 31st North of Rt. 6: June 1st to June 10th https://www.plantmaps.com/en/us/lf/state/pennsylvania/average-last-frost-dates-map/ Based on that, and given the upcoming forecast, it appears that much of the northern half of PA will see their last cold mornings BEFORE the average date. Unless I'm missing something.

I've been posting a lot in the Sports threads. I've kept pretty quiet here as I realize that what I want is a lot different than most of you now that the winter crowd has left. I don't want to bring the group down by posting how great I feel every day it's cloudy, cool and damp or just cooler than normal. The older I get the more I despise the heat. It is the only reason my wife and I continue to live in PA. Otherwise we'd be living on the gulf coast of Florida.

It'll be very short lived but an impressive little punch nonetheless.

70/64 with a light shower in progress. Humidity caught me off guard this afternoon.

Sunday PM to Monday AM is trending to be much wetter than tomorrow's system. We shall see.

Picked up another quarter inch overnight!

Exactly a quarter inch of rain here. Several days ago it looked like 1"+.

This batch of rain is hauling - looks like it will be clear of all of us in the next hour or so.

What's interesting about the timing is CTP has almost all of under "likely" (60-90% POPs) of rain right through the evening hours. Yet Mount Holly has the Delaware Valley free of rain by 4pm despite being farther east. I don't know if more stuff is going to come through later, but the "main" batch of precip looks to be through here by early afternoon?

Sunny and 84 at 2pm.

Sunny skies and 75 degrees in Maytown.

THAT is exactly what I was trying to say. Thank you.

Also, I need to remember that a lot of you live in areas that are notably cooler than here in Lanco. Your chilly 50 degree day might be a very pleasant 60 down here in the sun. 60 in early May feels a lot different than 60 in February. I can tell you that I was sweating profusely on Saturday.

I happened. I got frustrated because we just finished a top 10 warmest April ever but reading this thread you'd think it was the opposite. Saturday was 8-10 degrees below normal...fine, but there were quite a few days in April that were 20-25 degrees above normal. We've had both warm and cold but the warm has been WAY more dramatic, enough so that it resulted in a well AN month. Also, that is what defines this time of year. This is not abnormal weather. I'm sorry that I lost my wits. I apologize to all of you.

Actually in Lanco it was the 6th warmest April in like 115 years. Unbelievable.

Taking a break from this thread. You all enjoy your complaining. April was a top 10 warmest ever but reading this thread we're in a relentless freezer. Math ain't mathin folks

No sunburn for us but we were doing the same things. Spring at it's finest.

Spent hours outside walking and gardening today. An absolutely spectacular spring day!

Finished with .1" of rain overnight.

Do I laugh at this, like it, or thank you? I chose none of the above. I couldn't decide.

Also, Sixers and Flyer are playing at the same time tomorrow night. Damn. Well, the Sixers start 30 minutes before the Flyers, but still...

I told my wife after game 4 it would be a totally Sixer thing to then win the next 2 games and then break our hearts in game 7. Gulp. Admittedly, after game 4 I thought we'd lose immediately and be out. I'm honestly and happily surprised.

Absolutely loving this weather. Looks like after a warmup early next week it turns cooler again thereafter. I'm sure the pattern will flip on a dime and we'll go from the 60s to 90s in 2 days. I didn't realize we hit 90 (officially at MU at least) while I was away a couple of weeks ago.

Finished with .61" of rain in Maytown.

YES!!!
