OK, it's 9 pm and it's still 73 degrees F. I have a fan in the window. It's April 17th. It's waaaay to warm for this time of year. We Scandasotans are used to cool weather!
Denver Metro: I'm looking out my window at 20" of snow. The neighborhood crabapple trees were in full flower just a couple of days ago, and now everything is blanketed in white. April in Colorado is always a wild ride!
Strawberries have ripened, didn't realize how early they ripen. Forecast on Tuesday upgraded to 88, many parts of the state will see 90. Summer is now just round the corner.
If you like strawberries you don't want that heat. The season for strawberries can end abruptly with that kind of heat. Strawberries like cooler weather. I've noticed after talking to farmers that the length of the season depends totally on how quickly in spring it takes to get hot.
Went down to the city today, stunningly it was a bit cooler there but fantastic weather nonetheless, Central Park looked gorgeous! I wish it could be like this everyday from March to June
Accuweather was forecasting something like 18-19c for Binghamton a couple of days ago, but it actually reached 23c I love when Accuweather's lowball forecasts get blown out of the water, they are terrible when it comes to forecasting temperatures for sunny days, weather.com is much better for that
Ocean, ocean, ocean lol. I have a feeling it kept our temps in Philly down as well.
Oh I know lol - it was just surprising how most of the heat was centered over the higher elevations of the northern tier of PA, the I-81 corridor, as opposed to the I-95 corridor where it usually is. Both Allentown and Reading were a few degrees warmer than Philly - it's just interesting when the sea effect reaches that far inland, more than the usual 5-10 miles

I know, they are a hard crop to grow in nc, they are grown in the spring but when they get large and ripe in april there is a risk of a late freeze some years which hurts them, then summer heat comes in quick and ends the season. The article I read said the farmers strawberries survived the freeze and were ripe for picking now, imagine other farms are at that point too so the heat wont affect much.

Depends how strong the winds are. We have a similar effect here as the graphic below illustrates. Yesterday it was 64F/18C on the lakefront, and 10 miles inland 80F/27C
Looks like the NYC area will have similar temps as us....
The Euro is showing more exceptional warmth by this time next week for the Midwest/Great Lakes/Northeast and beyond
