AvantHiatus Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 My low this morning was 32. Appears to be second latest on record(29th,1948). KWWD has not been reporting for over a month, do you have any information or should I just call the airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Everything seems to be about a week behind schedule overall. The early flowering trees like the Bradford pears are still full bloom; usually they've begun leafing out by April 20th or so. The larger oaks and maples are budding profusely but still have at least 2 weeks, if not 2.5 weeks, until full/complete leaf out. We're probably looking at around May 15th this year for full-leaf on most of the oaks, which is a bit late. This spring isn't as late as 2003, however. The warmer April this year helped to speed things along. In 2003, the cherry blossoms didn't reach full bloom until the last week of April, about as late as you can get around here.

RedSky Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 First cut of the lawn yesterday hardly qualifies as a cut. Only cut the front lawn and though while nice and green barely nicked it. No grass clippings on the deck. Lack of rain is slowing an already slow year I imagine. Forsynthia is still in bloom when typically it would be done three weeks ago.

RedSky Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 It is getting very dry, could be the driest spring i can remember there has essentially been just one rain. Storm missing south isn't going to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Kwanzan cherries with the pink flowers are now exploding and approaching peak bloom. We seem to be quickly catching up with the milder than normal weather over the past few weeks. Beginning to gradually look more summery with some species leafing out. Expect to be full leaf-out for most trees in a couple weeks. Very warm weather next week should hasten the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The ground is baked -- dry and cracked. It looks more like mid-summer out there than mid-spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Very late start to the grass due to cold and snow now extremely dry stopping grass growth. One 25% grass cut this season the next one I don't know when. Weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Looks like showers fail around here this evening....wanted to clear some pollen out of the air. Is that TS development to the SE of Fla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treckasec Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Had a nice little cluster move over my area. 2" rainfall rates at the peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Had a nice little cluster move over my area. 2" rainfall rates at the peak. I saw some lightning flashes around 9:30 pm and had a few drops of rain. Last night we saw a single lighting bug milling about in the front yard for about 20 minutes. Normally around here the last week of May is the early time for sightings, so it was pretty surprising. I don't think it was the start of an early season for them...not sure why he was so early. Definitely cool though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Finally saw my first bunny this morning. They are almost a month late! At least my hummingbirds are back as of last weekend (about on time). I think your snow needs some fertilzer Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Got to love elevation. Bet that sun angle keeps the need for salt trucks at bay Its been warm so even though it snowed at nearly 2" an hour despite borderline temps just after sunrise, the roads just got a little slushy.

RedSky Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 1/10th of an inch. Thank God we got that tropical moisture flow or we couldn't have broke 1/100th Have a toad sharing the cats water bowl outside last few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief83 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Worcester - got 0.00 rain today. Looked promiosing for a while this afternoon. But we got missed again. I am a little surprised how well the grass is doing considering how little rain we have had. I guess if it was August and this dry - it would be brown lawns. Residual moisture in the lawns from the earlier spring rains??? Dandelions have not suffered at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
