We might grow for the next 18 months now that winter is canceled for next year

April 1976 was well above average in most of New England, and above average in New York, eastern PA, and NJ. This is still Boston's warmest April on record. Although, April 2010's warmth is much more widespread for the Eastern US.

2010 had our warmest April (of 28), also the warmest Feb, March and July.  Earliest leaf-out I've seen here, unfortunately followed May 11-13 with mornings of 23-26°, killing off lots of the tender new foliage (and all our apple blossoms).

Easter 1976 is well remembered, as we drove from mid-90s NNJ to stay with family (bro-in-law & wife) overnight in mid-90s Boston. Our 1971 Beetle's engine would be pinging with heat whenever we stopped.  At their apartment entry, a rat ran across in front of us, too fat to get into the hole so it had to run around into the alley.  Next day we drove home to Fort Kent, where it was only 60 (we loved it) and the snow hadn't finished melting.

Then 2002 duplicated 1976 with mid-month heat, though not as widespread.

Next sign of spring here:  Wood frogs were quacking in the old stock pond.  Peepers should open up by Tuesday.

A week + of 80’s! Installs this weekend abound 

Great weekend weather to get em up in and in!

Wednesday: Some sun, warm and a bit humid. Straight summer-like! Highs 80-85 inland. Cooler Beaches. Scattered late-day thundershower.

We’ve had steady snow cover at 1500ft since mid-November.

Snow depth reached 45” max a couple times, and spent over 3 months above 24”.

This morning it was down to 3” and I expect it will be gone by Monday.

 

Still 53” at 3,000ft and 61” at 3,700ft.

Ditty should move to New Jersey. Of course the fire is near refinery. Isn't everything near a refinery in New Jersey?
