Was talking to the farmer that farms our land yesterday. He said they heard that a farmer already planted field corn on the big island on the Susquehanna River at Herndon. That is a big island.

A frosty 30 this morning. And our strawberries are in bloom. I don't know if that destroy the blooms or not. Dt's forecast is not very optimistic.

Yes I remember track practice and the track meets with this kind of weather. I remember freezing during the practice sessions in jr.high and high school at Milton Hershey. That cold wind was nasty in the open down there.

I just don't know what season to dress for when you want to go work outside.

It might be possible.

We'd have get an independent study from DT on that.

That would be great to see the missing sections built again.

50 this morning here. JB was saying that some kind of freak event could happen next week.

The dryness continues .10 rain over night. Monthly total now .59

Would be nice to see a lightning show and get some rain.

Wonder if this has a chance of verifying?

Strong to severe thunderstorms with gusty winds are possible this evening.

.003 rain today. A huge disappointment. But somehow the grass really is rapidly growing.

I checked some site and there are a few reports of some seen this week in Pa. I just put my feeder out this morning.

Did anyone see the hummingbirds yet?

It just seemed in a matter of a day or so there were bees everywhere. Hopefully we get some rain today.

Yes there are lots of bees this year,and not the good kind either.

Good question. The Accu-rite and the Ambient 5000 are all within 5 ft of each other. The main sensor for the 5000 is about 9ft. above the ground in order to catch the wind better. The Accu-rite and the 2nd sensor for the 5000 are 6ft above the ground. So I'm thinking the ones 6 ft above the ground would tend to be more official. Also did I mention all are beside a mountain stream there's still water flowing but don't know how much longer, if it doesn't rain. Thoughs and criticism are welcome.

Accurite high 91 Ambient 5000 89 and 2nd sensor 92

43 again this morning.

My low was 43 this morning.

92 on the accu-rite and 90 and 92 on the Ambient Weather 5000 I have 2 temp. sensors on the Ambient.

32 with frost this morning.

I replaced my tulips last fall. I ordered from a bulb co. in Michigan. Now that the tulips are up for a few weeks now, they aren't very tall and look stunted. I wonder if the cold weather has played havoc with them. They are smaller than usual and some have the flower not opened on them. To me they look ki da pathetic.

27 was the low this morning.

I should be mowing but I'm taking care of my wife. She had a knee replacement on Last Wednesday. Tomorrow starts physical therapy I hr every other day for the next 3 weeks at least. Dr said she should be able to start driving again in 2 weeks. Being a care giver wears you out. And to make matters worse I'm not a person who likes to be cooped up in the house. So the outdoor work is on hold for awhile till she recovers. And goes back to work.
