[quote=nei;51711305]and for Amherst; this April stands out. How long will take for buds?!

April 2018 in Amherst doesn't look like April. More days below 50°F than above



2017 had a colder start and some chilly late April days but lots of warmth mixed in



here's the weekend of April 22-23. Only a few buds


Looks like a fun road to take my Corvette around 160 mph on.

I was looking at my temp map this morning and glanced over the Arizona and saw Phoenix in the 70s before 7am and said to myself the same thing. Nuts. Its a warm morning here in the 50s. Feels nice though. First time since Fall. 0.10" of rain overnight. Still drizzling.

Nice day across Alberta yesterday. Reached 20.4°C at the Edmonton airport--first time above 20°C since October 17th. Lots of places in the 70s Fahrenheit in southern Alberta. Warmest I found was 23.5°C/74°F in Lethbridge.

Forecasts still showing possible 80s for southern Alberta on Saturday, mid 70s around Edmonton.

In a perfect world it wouldn't rain during the day. I wish it could just rain at night.

Dreary day today. Temp 53°

Yeah I think this warm shot for the Midwest/East is transient with cooler temps coming back as we head into May. Likely a trifecta for spring here. All three months will be below average.

But CFS latest runs seem to be very warm across much of the country. IDK

We’ll probably see freezing temperatures all summer season long at the rate things are going:rolle yes:.
