BDR looks like it could use it. Has it been that dry there or just BDR missed out?

No frost here on the shoreline the last 2 nights. BDRs low was 35 yesterday and 33 this morning.

I have noticed a few large Green Ash that seem to be hanging on and still look healthy in my area. I talked with a Forestry Professor from Yale who said they are finding some that they call lingering ash. Some kind of genetic resiatance. Some good articles out there if you google more on it. Lingering Ash (EAB Resistance): In North America, a small percentage of ash trees have survived EAB infestations. These "lingering ash" suggest a genetic basis for resisting the beetle, allowing for efforts to breed a new generation of resistant trees.

I do 2 bags of this every year. Amazing stuff. Bag says its made from waste distillery grains from Portsmouth NH. So most likely from some brewery up there? Its not cheap but I'll spend the extra money so my dogs aren't rolling around in chemicals...

Jonathan Green? Thats some high end clover seed. You should try throwing down some of their Black Beauty grass seed. I hear the chickens go wild for it..

That back edge is racing east quick. Hopefully you break out into some sun. Cleared out here the last hour and its beautiful out.

Yeah. Getting some nice breaks of sun here ..

Cant wait for the heat and dews.. let's hope for another special summer that kicks off in June..

These old Craftmans are tanks. Ive been trying for like 20 years to kill this mower. Came with the house for free and I have done basically zero maintenance on it. Crashed it into many trees, zero oil changes or maintenance, etc It just keeps mowing every year... haha

Yeah. Tomorrow looks pretty nice as well. Even Upton says it short lived. "The cooler regime appears short-lived, with gradual moderation returning conditions to above normal by midweek."

Its like full on summer down here in CT with dews and +30 departures..

Hopefully your right under that 95 on the Euro in Central/Eastern NJ. Such a special place for big heat and dews..

Hopefully everyone takes advantage of this last comfy day and installs..

What a week for solar production. Been averaging around 6 kwh/kw which is at or near peak efficiency.

Looks like a pretty special week coming up in NYC.. High temperatures from Tuesday into Thursday will average 15 to 25 degrees above normal. NBM box and whisker plots are generally around the 25th percentile for the max temperature forecast. The median (50th percentile), is right skewed, toward the warmer side of the guidance. The experimental NBM 5.0 is also a couple of degrees warmer than the operational. The warmer scenario seems plausible, and even has metro NE NJ Wednesday and Thursday around 90. This would be close to 30 degrees above normal and record breaking for a few of the climate sites (see climate section below). The records going into this timeframe are quite high, getting into the heat wave of 2002. Several climate sites from April 16-18, 2002, reached 90 or higher for 3 consecutive days. Don`t see thathappening at this time. Additionally, there is the potential for an even longer period of days with record high minimum temperatures. CLIMATE... Record High Temperatures that could be reached: April 15: KEWR: 88/1960 KBDR: 81/1960 KNYC: 87/1941 KLGA: 86/1941 KJFK: 80/2006 KISP: 78/2024

Great weekend weather to get em up in and in! Wednesday: Some sun, warm and a bit humid. Straight summer-like! Highs 80-85 inland. Cooler Beaches. Scattered late-day thundershower.

Forgot about that warm stretch in April 23 where BDL hit 92/96.

Hopefully everyone takes advantage of the nice weather this weekend and installs.

Someone needs to fire it up. Already mowed 3 times this year and lawn looks spectacular. Before somone comments about chemicals/fertilizer. All I use for fertilizer is purely organics lawn fertilizer from New Hampshire that is made with waste brewery grains. I spot spray weeds with tenacity an all natural weed killer.

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..
