Powerball Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Today marks our 6th day with temps at/above 70*F. Most of the trees are in full bloom. A huge difference from last Monday where most of the trees were still bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 It's nice to see the leaves getting fuller and fuller by the day. It's greening up so fast this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisconsinwx Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 You really couldn't manufacture a more pleasant day if you tried. 68 magnificent degrees, little to no wind, and partly sunny skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 There's some pesky thick high clouds overhead right now. About 62° right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Got 75F here...what a day. Started off at 46f, but the temp climbed fast this morning. Looks like rain moves back in pretty quick later this week, with cooler temps on tap...cold shot looks quick, but still could see frost... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 77F...maybe clip an 80F today or tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostfern Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yeah it's nice looking out and seeing all the green now. I think in a normal year you would be at least a couple weeks ahead of me but the past week has been odd with the easterly wrap-around warmth up here. Illinois is definitely behind schedule while Michigan is pretty much caught up to normal now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illinois is definitely behind schedule while Michigan is pretty much caught up to normal now.I wouldn't say we caught up to normal. Still probably a good week behind normal, though last week we were at least 2 weeks behind normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd say normal is usually a week later for me than for you though. With the easterly wind and inverted N-S temperature gradient for the past week GRR has been one of the warmest spots in the region. Therefore we're pretty much on the same schedule now.

SpartyOn Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I wouldn't say we caught up to normal. Still probably a good week behind normal, though last week we were at least 2 weeks behind normal. Its just about normal given the how the native hardwoods have progressed. A few of the Oaks have been stubborn otherwise and a few nasty ornamentals like the honey locust are running late but normally they hold off or jump the gun anyhow. The mild nights do wonders to leaf production and factor in the consistent sunny days really gets things off and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 The grass is definitely making up for lost time. It's growing at an insane rate. Have to mow about every 4-5 days now. Dandelions seem unusually thick this year too in areas that weren't treated. Ended up making it to 77 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just cut the grass here. Great temperature range to get it done. High 66 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisale Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 This cutoff low has provided us with absolutely incredible weather for 6 days in a row now. Low-mid 70's and clear blue skies should continue into tomorrow. Incredible way to begin May. I suppose its a bit boring having the same weather everyday but this is about as good as boring can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose its a bit boring having the same weather everyday but this is about as good as boring can get I'm perfectly fine with this weather as long as we get some good storms within the next few weeks Maybe once the leafs playoff run is over...bring on the storms.

The mild nights do wonders to leaf production and factor in the consistent sunny days really gets things off and running. A lot of trees went semi-dormant and partially dropped their leaves in August last year. The locust trees definitely lost their leaves way early. A lot of the oaks went partially dormant and started dropping leaves way early too. I don't know if that affects anything the following year. Some of the smaller pines that weren't watered actually died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
