Beautiful sunny morning here and 64. Even GON throwing up a 65

With a little taste of the dews as well.

My friend said he did some kind of purchase/bet with Jordan's furniture for free furniture if Uconn won. He apparently got like 5k in free furniture from that win.

There will definitely be some 80s though down in the NYC area.. 900mb temps are progged to reach 13-15C on Wednesday, with 850mb temps at 11-13C. This could produce highs in the lower 80s in the typically warmest spots in the NE NJ urban corridor and adjacent areas.

I agree but I think BDL pulls an 80. Every forecast high here always seems to run way higher than forecasted..

Time to change the avatar to summer. Its coming..

Looks like its coming. From WTNH New Haven. As we head into the final days of March, a big warm-up is on the way. Highs climb into the low 60s Monday, near 70 Tuesday, and widespread 70s by Wednesday. A few inland spots could even approach 80°, depending on the timing of an approaching cold front. This is record-challenging warmth, so we’ll be keeping an eye on both Windsor Locks and Bridgeport, where official records are kept for inland and shoreline locations.

This is from the guy who planted the Sabal Palm in Bridgeport which is supposedly the northern most palm tree actively growing. Looks like it survived this winter just fine. i planted this palm outside in 2009 after much research on the microclimate of that spot the bricks hold so much heat in the winter i would often see flies overwintering there in February it’s very close to Long Island sound the alcove blocks the north wind minuses Dr Franco’s mummy wrap from his book Palms won’t grow here and other myths and I think you’re right about the building leaking heat as 1.5 feet away from the foundation never freezes plus I think for years folks never really knew how resilient Sabal palmettos actually are there are examples of these bosoms growing in Tennessee zone 6 for years and years so i just took a chance we are plannng on opening up Sabal palmetto Bridgeport WED April 8th,2026 after the cold weather passes; what a winter 2025-2026

All the old Italian guys are growing figs all along the shoreline here. Haha What's more interesting is the palms people are growing here. They apparently use C9 Christmas light incandescent bulbs to keep them warm over the winter. This is a picture fom a house in Norwalk, CT on the shoreline and one in Stamford.

Can't wait for the seasons first cut and that smell of fresh cut grass tomorrow. Got some extra special ipa's ready..

+5.9 for DXR.

Yeah. 4.13 inches here this month but what a green up underway. People already mowing and lawns services are out droping fertilizer. Hoping for some sun today for the first mow of the year.

Found this little sapling growing under my deck. I am guessing its eastern red cedar? Can any of you tree guys confirm? Think I am going to try and move it out into the yard somewhere if it is.

Yeah 52 here already and sunny. What a green up underway as well. Going to pull weeds that are already coming up in the rocks under my deck today.

Not looking forward to it. The ground water level is like an inch below the surface here. Every sump pump and dehumidifer in the neighborhood has been running like crazy. How's it out that way?
