ParticipantWell for only being the third or so day or spring it was 79 degrees F here in Southern NJ today. Crazy…. Hope we dont get any more frosts or our peaches are going to be finished. All the trees are flowering. Hopefully its not going to be a 120 degree summer.

ParticipantHere in Michigan the temperature has been running about 30 degrees above normal, highs in the mid 80’s. Hard to imagine what 30 degrees above normal would be like in July. My horses still have most of their winter hair and easily get overheated while plowing. Bob

ParticipantMarch, historically, has always averaged out as our snowiest month. This year, driest March on record. February, our second driest month on average, we got dumped on all month long. Due in large part that the air mass was warmer than normal and could carry significantly more moisture from Pacific currents that are also running out of the norm. It was hovering close to 65F at my place yesterday, warmer today, and I live at 8000′ elevation. In short, we should still be buried under a few feet of snow and about 15 degrees cooler on the abnormally warm days at most; averaging around 40F for daytime temps. We had a winter of perpetual ice & snow. All of which has dissapeared with the exception of large drifts and the north slopes. I hope April dumps on us, otherwise all the veg is going to suffer and it could be a mother of a fire season. Climate change happens.
