We will be spending an hour or two prepping this evening. Worst case scenario depictions on models would destroy a lot of our stuff if we do not cover so going to assume the worst just in case. Similar situation to the snow we had a few Mays ago as to prep.
It is green here as well though I had more rain than many on here. Mowing at 3" right now to try and let it last though I hate not having a cleanly cut look to the grass when it is that high.
The Rgem is not on board so that is a big sign that it may not happen but Nam, GFS, Fv3, Icon all quite cold. Nam is the coldest right now. Going to be a full potted plant in, covered other plants night unless the rgem is right.
Just past the midway point and temp wise MDT stands at -2.4 BN and a measly .15" of total rain putting them 1.71" behind normal for the month alone. As others have echoed on here, ag wise this is not good in having 2-3 weeks of little rain regardless of a bountiful bonanza in late April.
I think the MVP award is like a magnifying glass on the situation. I did not see the game but surprised in what I am seeing from some high profile tweets.
CMC has been caving to this front penetration predict by the GFS. GFS has been rock solid on this for days. This would be near state wide Freeze and Frost warnings. Nam on board.
Both April and May 2020 were between 3 and 4 degrees BN. Jan 2022 was -2.7 as a close one as well. Would be something to have 3 months of 3-5 BN in a row. Not something that is common for AN or BN. The Summer of 2009 had 3 months BN but not all 3 months were over 3 BN.
