    Was it 1955-56 we were looking at late last fall into winter comparing similarities to this year? I was looking at record lows for each month and it appears June, August and September of 1956 all had monthly record lows for here. June 1956 - 33 degrees August 1956 - 41 degrees September 1956 - 31 degrees. 1961, which doesn't have the record coldest May day here, did have the end if month freezes. 1961 also has the record low for July of 45 degrees. We've been close to that one a few times since 2009 here with several July nights in the 40s.

    Check 1961. My grandfather recorded 30 and 32 on May 27th and 28th that year. Latest likely frost was 33 on June 3rd 1956. We also had a 39 on June 2nd. The high was only 52 on the 2nd.

    31 this morning. Probably the next time its below freezing we will be in October and over the heat and humidity.

    Bright blue skies and 50 degrees around 7:30 this evening. Felt like I should be about to watch a football game in November. Temp has dropped to 45 with the sun going down. DP is 25.

    29.4, should probably be as low as it's going right now. Stations around the area are 29 to 31. One just went from 29 to 30.

    31 currently here at my house, 32 and 33 on two nearby stations. Very frosty. I'm hoping to stay out of the 20s, have about 2 hours to go before the temp should start rising. So I've at least avoided one of those 5 hours in the 20s kind of hard freezes that kill everything. Hopefully this doesn't blister the acorn sized apples on my trees.

    39 degrees with some mixed rain and snow moving through. Was clear earlier. Clouds or lack of will determine if we get below freezing tonight.
  8. John1122
    Cold and rainy, feels like late November or early December.
  9. John1122
    My point forecast now says snow showers, then upper 20s Friday night into Saturday morning.
  10. John1122
    A very frosty 34 degrees this morning. 3 below what had been forecast.
  11. John1122
    The temp has dropped all afternoon. Currently 43 degrees. I'll be surprised if I can avoid a weekend freeze. I'll probably frost tonight barring cloudy or windy weather. But the ridges on all sides of me block winds pretty effectively.

    49 degrees and rainy this morning. We can't get winter in winter, it just sticks around later in spring lately.

    Normally I'd plant tomatoes and corn this weekend. But another week or so looks like it will be the timeframe. MRX has the low here at 35 two days in a row and they tend to be too high imby due to the cold bowl microclimates here.
  14. John1122
    Those 30 degree departures here would put me in the lower 20s. My average low for early May is around 51.

    Some really windy and cold rain showers this evening. Not sure I didn't see some graupel around sunset.
  16. John1122
    It's crazy. I'm at 40.57 through 4 months this year. That after two years in a row of 70+ inches of rain.
  17. John1122
    Temp is currently holding at 53 degrees here, which would be as low a high as I can find here in the last 80 years for April 30th.
  18. John1122
    .97 yesterday, 11.21 for April.
  19. John1122
    It was incredibly windy today before the rain moved in, it was rattling my roof at times. Snow has happened here around May 9th/10th. My grandfather always told the story of snow flattening knee high corn one May to the tune of 9 inches. This would have been at some point in the 1910s.
  20. John1122
    44 degrees and rain, feels like winter. Thought I posted yesterday but it seems gone now. 1.05 inches from Saturday, over 10 inches in April now.
  21. John1122
    Saw a photo of trees and overturned tractor trailers of where the tornado supposedly crossed I-40 earlier. Could have been straight line winds too. Nothing not extremely heavy rain here and a few thunder claps.
  22. John1122
    1.58 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, now over 9 inches for the month with 1.5-2 more inches being modeled through April 30th. I can't imagine there's ever been a more rainy 28 months than the prior 28 months in my area. Basically since the drought broke after the severe fires of 2016 the spigot hasn't really closed off except for a few weeks last September.

    That tornado video was way closer than I ever want to be to one. I imagine the power for the traffic lights was probably underground or possibly even on a solar back up. I wonder what the f rating was on that tornado? I was in the slight risk area but that seems to have been downgraded to marginal at this point. So once again the non-stop heavy rains are the bigger issue here. Going to approach 10 inches again this month it looks like, possibly exceed it. I've not actually looked at the rain gauge yet from today's rain but I was at 7.43 inches coming into this event and it rained heavily overnight into this morning.
  24. John1122
    I never bother with tomatoes before the first week of May. Not uncommon to get to 31-32 during that time frame here.
  25. John1122
    Cold, blustery and a few flakes out there this evening. At first I thought it was dogwood blossoms blowing past me.
