The below is my yard this afternoon, it is not Kevin's- I fear he would have a heart attack if his grass looked like this, two of the big reasons why it is in this state are pictured.

 

There’s no way that’s your main lawn. Is that where you eat meals in warm season?

We have almost no flat ground at the house.  If we were to eat outside it would likely be around the corner in the rose garden. 

This is the worst the lawn has been.  It is a combo of very poor soil in this stretch, the dogs obsession with playing fetch, and possibly grubs.  The soil barely drains water- I think it was largely waste fill that the prior owners put in when building.  I plan to dig out the top 4 inches or so and replace it.  I have tried to amend what is there but it hasn't worked.  

You can see the path the dogs run around the table to get tennis balls thrown over the table.  I would complain but they have done a great job weeding parts of the yard as they make their paths.

WHO LET MOTHER NATURE INTO MY STILL?! A FROST ADVISORY ON MOTHERS DAY?!?!?!?!

Gorgeous night. Doesn't get much clearer or refreshing. Looks like a decent week if we can dodge the showers. Nice to see no heat . Even in the extended extended.

I went and covered everything.  Pain in the ass but taking no chances with the full moon tonight.   Always listen to the old wise men... 

Where’s Ginxy?

Felt like a late summer day with the high sun angle and of course, the increasingly long daylight. The breeze did make it feel a little nippy at times but after the recent deluge, I can’t complain at all. Can’t believe how dry the air is too, almost desert like with this airmass over us. We take and bake!

Omg, if this wind would go away, today would have been perfect. Definitely dry, cold season airmass. Temp got up to 58 but it's chilly. Low temp overnight is 30-31 degrees. I'm super excited for tomorrow through Wednesday! I assume the black flies should be hatching shortly, but no swarms yet, so yay for that!

Saw tons of them latching on to muddy puddles and shallow pools during my walk in the woods earlier. I think in less than a week it’s gonna get pretty rough with new waves of the little vampires fanning out in every possible direction.

Temp has already dropped 21 degrees off the high today. 58 to 37. And dropping...

[dendrite]

43.7/36

Probably safe here, but the high crests over us before sunrise…still a 2-3mph wind for now.

36F at MVL.  35F at the station on the edge of the Stowe Country Club.  That's the closest to me.  River bottom and open field topography.

As soon as you go a 100-200ft up it warms real fast.  Very fake but refreshing.

No match for SLK’s 30/27 right now.

You're one of the coldest spots anywhere. I think dendrite is okay.

I figured 37F or so would be my low.  Glad we brought some of the plants in. 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Low of 35° this morning.

Wow, that’s one of the coldest readings in the state!   Coldest I saw was a 31° in Ashfield.

Several 32s near me.  No wind.

It was 36.6° at 3am…then the clouds came in to save us.

39° and overcast now.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Friday dews might hit 63 here.

I guess its counted here because some spots have a bit 

0z Euro was perfect and there wasn't really much heat anywhere in the long range
