We had to swerve around at least 4 cans in the middle of the road this morning. It’s still gusting to the upper 40s every 3 or 4 minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Festus Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm sure the hype machine will get cranking soon but here's a few details regarding the upcoming total solar eclipse: - Monday, April 8th. Starts approximately 2:00 PM, maximum around 3:20, done around 4:30. - Several counties in northwest PA will experience totality lasting around 4 minutes. - Nearly all the rest of PA will reach over 90% with increasing coverage as one travels southeast to northwest. - The next total eclipse anywhere in PA will be in 2144. Fingers crossed regarding cloud cover. Unfortunately Accuweather's 90 day forecast shows rain on the 8th so I guess we're whamboozled. But at least Memorial Day looks nice. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year a fruit farm (Blylers) about 10 miles away as the crow flies lost their whole strawberry crop in May with that frost and freezes that month. Wasn't a good year in western Pennsylvania either. I know Soergel's had to cancel their strawberry festival last year, although they did get some strawberries later in the season after it started raining again. Looking like fruit growers are going to have a tough time navigating this new climate. Spring just doesn't seem delayed enough anymore to retard plant growth sufficiently to counter the threat of spring frosts and freezes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring just doesn't seem delayed enough anymore to retard plant growth sufficiently to counter the threat of spring frosts and freezes. The flowers started poking through in early February just as they did last year, I’ve seen a lot of geese already returning north, it’s crazy. The recent “cold” spell featured one below normal day at PIT (a whole 2 degrees below normal), and we’re sitting at +13 for the month to date. A 9th straight above normal month here is a lock, and it’s probably much the same in central PA, even if the anomalies this month haven’t been quite as big.

Spring just doesn't seem delayed enough anymore to retard plant growth sufficiently to counter the threat of spring frosts and freezes. if the fruit tree buds/ blossoms freeze this year it'll be 3 out of the last 5 years orchards in my area will have suffered severe losses due to freezing temps. I am probably more aware of these facts than most because, although I don't have an orchard, i do grow other produce for sale at our local roadside stand and do buy fruit from a local orchard to resell. last year our 300 tomato and 500 pepper plants were hit with that late freeze in May and I even covered them with row cover. most everybody loves these early warm temps not realizing how detrimental they can be until they go to buy local fruits and veggies and realize either they can't get them or the price is 5 times what it should be because of severely limited supply. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDT wise, this has been going on almost nonstop since Feb 2015 which was the last time MDT came into March not warm. There are not always hard freezes late but since 2016 the temps have always been well AN in Feb except one year where it was about at normal. It is quite common now to see 60's and 70's in Feb making the 60's and 70's in March less of an anomaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too add to this, starting with 2016, meaning 9 Feb's counting this year, 8 of the 9 have seen temps in the 60's at MDT and 3 of the 9 have seen temps in the 70's including 79's and 78's.

I would "think" that your yard will take off this week - several consecutive days of warm sunshine should start the process. I mowed last Friday...to be transparent, only about half the yard truly needed it. When I left for work today, everything was very green but not much growth again...yet. Currently it's 66 at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itstrainingtime Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 LR GFS today has MLB opening day (March 28th) starting off with temps in the 20s statewide. Going to need to bundle up as my wife and I head to South Philly that day. It's one of the coldest mornings on the entire run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
