Spring 2014 (March-May) - Northern Hemisphere (sprinkling, Milwaukee, snow, warm)

[Cambium]

Showers are popping up. 3:15pm Temps, Radar & Dewpoints in bottom corner. Temps are well above normal again

Windsor Locks at 87!! hasn't been that hot since September 12th. It took those folks there 242 days to get this hot again.

Why is that area of Westfield, Chicopee and Hartford in upper 80s? What triggered the spike there? Wow!

So glad I live down here. Only 79F here right now

I did it again!!!!

Every year I forget to take out the insulation and cardboard I have up on my attic window vents. (a winterize thing).. well, the heat always sneaks up on me each year.. I heard the attic ventilation fan on yesterday and today thinking nice the attic is airing out....and didn't remember THE WINDOW WAS BLOCKED!

Thermostat is set for the fan to go on at 110°F. Yes... the attic gets that hot even when it's only upper 70s outside. I might need a bigger window up there.

Looks like another A/C evening/night.

I see myself using the AC every night this week, but at least the during weekend it looks like we'll get some relief: highs around 70 and lows in the lower 50s Saturday and Sunday. Might be able to manage without AC Friday night, too.

Still some frosts showing up.

Interesting tweets. Will post a map when I get back.

A remarkable May day in Fort Collins. Mid-afternoon, sun is shining, and we are still buried in snow. I have never seen that before.

@MarkVogan It feels and looks like January here. Bizarre.
