  1. You can search them by date here https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/list.phtml
  2. Happy Anniversary 33 years ago right now
  3. You keep posting charts with near neutral indices
  4. Sure. 2023 sucked. Anytime you’re wiping out entire apple crops that’s a brutal late freeze. But I don’t recall many issues in previous years. The problem with peaches is a lot of the varieties you get in stores aren’t late blooming or cold hardy enough. So either the buds get fried from -15F in winter or they bloom too early and the flowers die in the spring. 3 of my 4 peach trees are on the late end of bloom timing and the other is more mid…Contender, Intrepid, Challenger, and Redhaven. Stone fruit in general are a PITA to grow.
  5. It’s been all locked up in the pack for months too…so deeper soil has been drying out and is ready to quickly absorb what we have back in. Once everything starts greening up it’s going to get sucked up quickly
  6. I will say there’s a lot of fruit growers well SW of here that have flowers in bloom that are going to lose most of their crops…especially peaches. I suppose that’s one benefit up here of tempering all of the warm airmasses until May. The long pack and mud season keeps the soils cooler and trees dormant too.
  7. Oh ok…thought that was through tomorrow. Only expecting 1-2” here.
  8. What is that? I’ll take the under.
  9. Dry af up here. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but hopefully we get drenched this spring. This little bit of water from snow melt won’t last long.
  10. 20.4° Feels brutal after the past week
  11. I’m sure that tiny light blue blob will work its way toward the NE and social media will be flooded with “so much for CC” posts again.
  12. It’s winter in Florida too. You average in March what I average in April…and I don’t consider April a winter month here.
  13. Because it’s not a winter month down there
  14. Gotta make sure they use it all to prevent those budget cuts
  15. Ditty up to 33.9 after falling to 33.1. It’s really rate dependent so accums will be sparse. It all moves out before we can advect the widespread freezing temps in
  16. Yeah that’s a potent little s/w down there…just not enough in time for up here.
  17. I mean you can just see the doughnut holes on ENX and BGM while OKX has bands overhead back there.
  18. Yeah I said earlier if anyone has a shot at whitening up it’s you…elevation and being more east. But I think anything west of POU is virga right now.
