FrederickWX Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Ended up being a lot nicer than I thought. Was outside most of the afternoon at Brookside Gardens. Thought I would need my jacket, but did not. Jeans and a T-shirt, plenty comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Low 31.9 here in Boyce this morning. Ditto other posters perfect spring weather, did some yard work now off to Blandy Farm to walk the dog and see what is blooming there. This is my ideal weather for the non winter season.

mattie g Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Today is fine if you're in the sun. It's kind of chilly in the shade. That said, it was a great day to mow the lawn and get in the garden a little. Can't wait to get out there at the end of this week and get the summer planting done...

Yeah, it was a little chilly in the shade, bit still a nice day. We took the little one for a nice long walk in the afternoon.

snowfan Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Got sunburn today from being on the riding mower at the in laws most of the day. This is perfect spring weather because sun angle makes 55 feel much warmer than it really is. Looks like we don't get above 70 the entire week.

MDstorm Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 we're only running 4.1 degrees above normal this month after today ...where is the heat! April looks to play out as bookend cool with a lot of warmth in the middle. The way above normal will certainly take a beating over the 7-10 days.

MN Transplant Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 36.6 on the low, but still a little of frost on the car top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Not as heavy a frost this am compared to yesterday, although overnight lows almost matched, 29.5 this am vs 29.1 yesterday. Currently 31.4. No frost/freeze warnings issued, growing season doesn't 'officially' start until 25th through May 4th per NWS depending on elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Yeah, it was a little chilly in the shade, bit still a nice day. We took the little one for a nice long walk in the afternoon. Not sure who loved it more, her or the dog haha We took ours out, but the wind made her a little cranky. The dog was loving it though! 36.6 on the low, but still a little of frost on the car top. Lots of frost on elevated surfaces in my neighborhood. It was 36 when I left at around 6:30, and it probably didn't go any lower. Still...chilly enough that I decided not to put my plants outside.

mattie g Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Everyone is whining about frost but the last freeze at Dulles on avg is the 21st. Average last sub-32 is right around now, but the average last hard freeze (sub-28) is around April 7. A freeze sucks for gardeners and can cause decent damage, but hard freezes are out to destroy all the hard work they put into getting their plants ready for the spring and summer.

H2O Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I had to flip the heat back on in the house this morning. It was a bit too chilly getting dressed. Still nice wx coming up for the next couple days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
