You know, it's been a while since I've had that 4 letter word in my forecast in May.... And WSW's hiked up in the mountains of WV. Naturally I was ready to finish planting everything starting tomorrow in the garden lol. Think I'll wait until Saturday just to keep things on the safe side. Snow currently flying up at 'Shoe and Canaan.

Managed to stay above freezing for the first night in a few, currently 35.8/33.5 here.

29.9 for the low here.

Correct, my 'grow season' starts 4/25, so freeze warnings are up for in the morning, nothing yesterday although I hit 31.1 and several spots nearby went down to 29.

Down to 31.1 for a low here.

84.6/45.3 here for the date, no where near the record, 90 degrees from 1985. I THINK that is the earliest 90 I have on the books, but I'll double check. Edit- yep, that be right.

Safely in upper 30's here for overnight. Still have to make another month to REALLY be safe (last freeze May 23rd both 2002 and 1997).

A 41+ degree spread for the date 82.7/41.5. Sheesh. The 82.7 JUST missed setting/tying the record for the date of 83 from 2006. Watching the rain just to my southeast this morning, hoping it gets here and swings thru.....

Currently 27.7/25.4, low was 27.3 degrees here after a 47.8 high

I noticed when I was in Clifton Forge around 5 pm today just after the fog/drizzle lifted that the tops of mountains to NW near KHSP were white. That is 4000+- elevation.

Down below freezing (31.5) this morning, I see lots of under 32's out there, hope people didn't get the 'spring bug' and plant a bunch of stuff. WAY down in the teens at Canaan this morning.

My numbers for the month of March, 2023 Total precip was 1.67 inches vs a normal of 3.52 inches, a - 1.85 below average and falls into 4th driest behind 2006's 1.03, 1988's 1.20 and 1981's 1.59 inches. Wettest day was the 4th with 0.65 inches. There were 10 days with measurable, 3 'T's and 18 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 1.1 inches vs a normal of 4.5 inches, a -3.4 inches below normal but not in top 5 as 1982/83/89/97/00 all had goose eggs. The snowiest day was the 13th with 1.0 inches falling. There were two days with measurable, 2 days with a 'T' and 27 days without snowfall.

I remember that, it was sad what happened north. I'll throw my numbers up for the last 10/11 years and folks can take it for what it is. Of course, one spot doesn't equal another, so there is that too. 2012/13 25.9 2013/14 41.1 2014/15 33.7 2015/16 33.4 2016.17 6.4 2017/18 21.5 2018/19 35.2 2019/20 3.9 2020/21 23.3 2021/22 19.5 2022/23 2.2

That is crazy!!

71 degrees here at 1:30 pm with a stiff SW breeze 11 gusting 23. Thank goodness from 2012's 82.5 record high, or we'd probably be heading for one!

late to the discussion, but there is NO WAY someone with 12K in tickets has a license in their possession that is valid.

Wow, already 60 degrees at 10:45 am with mostly cloudy skies....

Well... sitting at 49.6 degrees, a full 8 degrees cooler than the forecast. We shall see what the rest of the late afternoon brings.

Had a nice 42 degree temp spread yesterday, 61.5-19.5.
