Met1985 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Temp at the house this morning sitting at 29.5 degrees. Not bad for the middle of a warm spell. Most years this would have been news for March 21st. Ya impressive for sure. Made it down to 19 here in the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 61. Light coating of Pear blossoms in my hood Came down quite heavily at times today. Just rounded up the last of 9-12 cats (the semi-retarded one) from evening outdoor play. Suppose I looked at least as retarded running through the hood trying to entice her. Autism... I think she has. She doesn't respond to "the cat treat bag shake". But, when she has treats in front of her... she counts them like match sticks. You should see those little paws and tiny shark eyes at work. All well. Not real excited 'bout Tue/Wed event. My wife will be off and at home.

Solak Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 .10" yesterday afternoon. Pretty rare temp differential around here this morning. Usually, KJNX is the cold spot over this way, but this morning they dropped to 34, while over at the Clayton Research Facility on Hwy 70, it got down to 32. Usually it the other way around.

MarvelMountain Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It was 19 degrees at 8 a.m. here five miles north of Lake Lure. The snow ended about 11 last night, with about half an inch. Still beautiful for this time of year. That makes six snow and ice events this season. I'll take that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I just finished my daily walk north of ATL. It was a great walk with beautiful clear skies, light winds, very dry air, and mainly upper 40's to near 50 temperatures, a day typical of mid-January! Ahhhh.

EmersonGA Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 22.1 degrees of foliage crushing destruction! 22 at my house as well yesterday. My hydrangea buds are toast but everything else pretty much died when I went below zero earlier this winter in particular my poor gardenia. It hit 27 this morning before clouds came in and warmed us up above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So true. This morning the daffodils looked sad. All wilted from the cold. Its hard to believe but I still remember fairly well back in 2011 this time frame trees had pollinated loosing their pollen strings with a full canopy by the 1st of April. Even last year compare to this time the growth was alot further. Its amazing really at the cold because its putting everything a good month to month an half behind schedule.

I submit that things are more on what the schedule used to be back in the 60s and 70s. In any case, it's a good thing. Plants and trees will be much less likely to be nipped by a late freeze this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbjr Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Worst pollen season here in years - oaks are going nuts. As explained by our local UF experts: The coughing, sneezing says it all: pollen is everywhere Imagine a large moving box filled with pollen grains. That's roughly what you are seeing outside — in the form of yellow dust coating your car, and possibly the outside of your house, your clothes and your hair. The high pollen count present across North Central Florida — likely around 1,500 pollen grains per cubic meter of air, said Mike Andreu, an associate professor of forest systems at the University of Florida School of Forest Resources and Conservation — is also what's causing you to sneeze, cough or have itchy, watery eyes. "There's definitely a lot of pollen in the air," Andreu said, adding that this year may be a "mast year," when trees produce an overabundance of seeds and fruit. Trees do this as a survivalist strategy to ensure continuation of the species, Andreu explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plants and trees will be much less likely to be nipped by a late freeze this year. I was talking with my mother and she said the same thing. She said my thought is skewed by the late 90s and early 2000s when leaf out happened in mid March. I read in the Atlanta paper the other day that barring a late heavy frost the peach harvest could be epic this year at least in terms of taste. Apparently peaches love cold winters so this winter was perfect for them. I also want to put out there that although I'm a Georgian I actually prefer South Carolina peaches.

Are MCV's that difficult to forecast in advance?Yeah they are pretty difficult to forecast. We went from a 30% chance of rain to 80% and now expecting up to 1-2 inches of rain when this morning we were going to be lucky to get an isolated shower or storm.
