I hate to give you any credit ever but... I did see some oak buds starting to pop today. Maples are coming on well. Gorgeous day and evening.

Yup…55-60 with the sun out bright with light wind is fine this time of year. 

Doubt I broke 50 around here but it was beautiful. Correction, 51.2 for a high.

Ya, I wasn’t talking about today…was just saying in general for this time of year.  But it was cool today, but as you said a nice day.

Ensembles don't seem to indicate any significant warm-ups through early May.  Glad I didn't install.  This is the 2nd night in a row the heat kicked on with thermostats at 62.

Nope just more garbage. Had some good sizzle

here the other day btw.

"Sizzle?"  LOL.  I haven't heard that term used since WSI!  And it went one step further, "ALL SIZZLE AND NO STEAK!"

The storms the other day surprised me b/c it looked too too cool w/ the high wedged pre-frontal for any TS, but pulled a fast one at the last minute!  And from radar, it looks like Weymouth got two decent cells.

Well peaches can set wayyyyy too many fruit. People usually have to thin them a lot to get larger peaches and to prevent branches from breaking. So having 50%+ blooms get fried saves growers from that hassle.

Re:coolwx…I have obs from all over the place. Some from Auburn through 2001. Lyndonville obs while at school in the late 90s. North Branch MN for a year. Manchester and Goffstown obs for a bit. Then finally up here starting in 2006.

No I was on that train, I just wanted to give you shit. That was one post and then I mentioned it will suck.

Down at Sanibel Island FL and the scars from Ian are still evident. Lots of dead trees from the surge and broken palms. Also lots of new palms planted held up by stilts at the condo complex we are staying. The whole first floor of the place was destroyed, but they had no power for 8 months so even on the other floors, the mold build up meant everything had to go. The couple at the pool who owns here joked and said the place was 40 years old and needed to be upgraded anyways…but laughed saying he didn’t expect it to be this way. 

[dendrite]

35° and sunny

Where’s my precip?

[HoarfrostHubb]

Light snow here all morning. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

And by light I mean some random flakes.

Sanibel is a great place. Hopefully you’ll catch a random storm or two while there 

[Torch Tiger]

Looks Steined through next Tuesday, except SW zones.  So much for the awful stretch some called for
