I'm sorry to hear that, very unfortunate. Right now CTP only has us getting down to 36 again tonight and the rest of the week it's 40s and 50s. Might be some scattered frost tonight but it looks likely that we'll miss any freezes.
Radar looks promising for me to tack on some more. More surprising to me is how we missed the storminess - other than the one big strike it's been stratiform light to moderate rainfall from the start. Very beneficial. Hope you get some more too.
He must be down south in Lake Clarke - there's no part of the river up our way that has that much open water. River is so low it's a rock bed in many areas.
Interesting - CTP's P&C last night for Maytown today showed a high of 88. Now it's showing 82. Seems very odd that consecutive days appear as if they'll be significantly "cooler" than originally forecasted. That usually happens on days when precip arrives early or clouds hold on longer than anticipated...not so much on sunny days.
My family that has been living up there since the 1960s have been telling me that this is the worst winter they've had in years. There have been a lot of very mild winters with BN snowfall, but this year they've had a "real Alaska" winter.
Easy answer - I'll never ever forget the great drought of April 1988. Orioles started the year losing their first 21 games in a row.
I don't have records nor do I recall such a prolonged dry spell during this part of the year. Never.
