I've lived here for 20 years and have never had as many fallen pinecones in the yard as I do this spring. It's not just one tree, they're all over the front and back yards. I want to say it's due to the mild winter, but we've had plenty of mild winter in the last 20 years. Probably nothing more than the natural life cycles of the conifers themselves? But if anyone is an amateur arborist, I'd be interested in any theories.
65F
Maybe denser cloud cover down that way? 53F for a Saturday high here.
God bless the “drought”! I was able to get some yard work in today w/o being up to my ankles in springtime mud.
You made me think of Leave it to Beaver..."Hey Wally, there's a bunch of junk and stuff on the radar."
Only about 0.03" last night. Drought begets drought. 53F
Clouding up, but not expecting more than a heavy shower at best, 72F/DP 62F.
Looks like it's gonna be one of those upside down years where Christmas was cooler than Easter. Go figure.
Wouldn't mind touching 90F sometime this month. I'm sure there's no correlation, but seems the few time we've hit 90F in April, we have a cool summer (1976, 2009).
62F
About .90” of rain yesterday. Severe aspect aside, very typical event for us over the past six months or so—storm passed to our NW, trailing cold front comes through with precip, temps drop for a day behind the front, then they quickly rebound.
44F
I was at dinner in Skippack as the line came through. From what I saw, very heavy rain, intense lightning, but not much in the way of wind. Didn’t see any hail either.
Power was still on when I got home.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a tornado or two pops, especially in NJ. It seems it’s the new tornado capital of the Mid Atlantic in recent years.
63F with a heavy shower passing through.
I think many of us wouldn't mind a "warm season", but we don't get those here. We get ungodly hot & humid summers that stretch on for 5 months and force many of us to hibernate in AC and not emerge until late October like some sort of winter-like locust.
