  1. Did pretty well here with .68" rainfall last evening into the overnight. Total for April: 3.68". Not bad but 60% of that total came this week. Month prior to this final week of the month was very dry.
  2. 1.52" here for the event. A nice slow and steady soaking for this sub forum. Click map to enlarge.
  3. Persistent light rain, some moderate at times since about 10 A.M. Temperature stuck at 38. Currently 36 up at High Point and 38 in Vernon per NJWXNET. When April opened based on late March and early April LR guidance I was expecting a +3 to +3.5 degree temperature departure for the month. Bust on my part. Cooler periods were very effective at beating back the warm periods. Unusual around here in recent years. Per @donsutherland1 April looks to average just about 1.5 above and that might slip a bit more before the end of the month.
  4. On the bright side...the grass seed I put down two weeks ago to fix parts of the lawn by the street that got really beaten up by the town mounding snow mixed with excess road salt has filled in great. I did have to keep it sprinkled daily but it was great weather for it to get a good start. Putting down some fertilizer later today to get soaked in by the rain. I would rather the rain and big chill didn't happen over the weekend but what can we do. A good weekend to all. Make the best of it.
  5. Overnight low of 25 here. Sampling of NJ overnight lows attached.
  6. I'm not no much worried about a frost or freeze once to like 5/10 up here but I have found if you wait a few more weeks beyond that the soils warm up and things just seem to do better. Of course that varies from year to year with the actual weather conditions as to how fast the soils warm. Have found with cool soils things just tend to "sit there" until it really warms up and with cool soils if we hit a wet stretch things have a higher chance of rotting out. The cooler weather crops are a different story but I don't plant much of those these days.
  7. As they should be...it is mid/late April not mid/late May. Not to mention this "chill" was well advertised. I wait until Memorial Day weekend up this way to do flowers and warmer weather veggies.
  8. Currently 38 here with steady light rain. High Point coming in at 32.
  9. Usually favors the Southeast for heavier precipitation but we'll see how it evolves. Either way no more 80's and 90's for a while.
  10. Picked up .28" rainfall yesterday afternoon in three separate rounds of quick moving but intense downpours. Total over the last 4 days .58". Got lucky in my neighborhood.
  11. Had torrential downpour about an hour ago but only lasted about 2 minutes. Still numerous clusters of showers / storms over parts of NNJ.
  12. You should have done pretty good last night right?
  13. Picked up .06" rainfall with a quick moving t-shower around 10:00 last evening. Places west and NW of here did better with greater than .25". We'll see how much we can add on Sunday. Heat was nice but a bit much for mid April. Looking forward to a cool down but could do without the cold mornings upcoming early next week. On the other hand will be nice to sleep with the windows cracked open again.
