Low was 27⁰ here with lots of frost.

While I agree in principle, most of the non-native flowering cherries are sterile. Eastern Redbud is a better choice.

I had a date. We were off from school and took the LIRR to see the circus at MSG. Thundersnow at Herald Square is a cool memory.

Down to 54⁰ here now. It's actually turned into a nice afternoon for getting some work in the garden done. It was too warm before.

We seem to have topped out at 66⁰ here. Pretty steady around 65⁰ at the moment. It's dropped from the mid 60s earlier to the low 50s around Montauk. The cape is in the 40s. This is very April.

It is literally almost 40° colder here than it was at the same time yesterday. I'm good with it. In my family we have a word for this kind of weather. We call it "April"

Thanks, that is interesting. For that 20 year period, our average last freeze is April 11. Assuming a similar comparison in the fall, that's at least an extra month of growing season here. Not trivial, especially in the fall, but I'll work those numbers another time. I think the difference in the fall will be even more...it's hard to get to freezing when the LI Sound is still near 60°. Our first fall freeze is sometimes a couple of weeks later than the center of the island, but I don't think there is much difference in the spring.

Average last freeze in Smithtown for the past 30 years is April 12. It really hasn't changed much over that time, despite 1996 being an outlier.

30⁰ here atm

Are you saying that it's going to snow in September?

Don't look down.

Shit! Roger was a gem. Gave me a sad smile to read that one of his wx board handles (IE) was MT Cranium. Fair winds and following seas Roger, and maybe a hurricane when the mood suits you.

34⁰ light to moderate snow. A dusting in sheltered areas.

Ditto

Won't work...I still need the shift to winter around Thanksgiving.
