We typically travel to the area in May and have dealt with all sorts of weather down there during the month. Tropical storm Ana was the most recent named storm that I could remember 2015? Definitely some great weather mixed in there as well our last time down there was pre pandemic, 2019 and it was July temperatures in May.
I'm headed for Hatteras on Saturday. I'm concerned that thing sits and churns for the week down there. NE winds and upwelling ftl...Hoping it is more progressive than currently modeled, seems to be the theme this year at least.
I knew it was coming, should have covered the asparagus, the past 2 mornings have been rough....the second the wind slows down, the temperature plummets. But the winds are howling again.
Arggh, wind slacked for 2 hours and the temp plummeted to 25⁰. Back up to 43⁰, not sure the damage to the early flowering fruit trees...dewpoints are still running around 10⁰ here
Clover and grass actually do well together. The clover basically feeds the grass around it through nitrogen fixation. More bees for the gardens, lower grubs, less chemicals....seems like a no brainer
What has been noticeable has been the wind...it seems that regardless of temperature/sun/clouds the wind is always blowing away. Of course not on clear nights, when the temp can plummet, trying to kill all of my plants
Already 61⁰ here, very little cloud cover as well....80s seem to be a lock at this point, the air has that summer smell, ahhh. Sadly 50s and 30s are back next week
Housing market still out of control here. Neighbor put his house on the market, 25 showings booked in the first few hours. First showing/offer came in 65 grand over asking
