It has been consistently 8-10 degrees below normal here for a couple weeks. No snow but yesterday we got an inch of hail on the ground. Our peach trees are blooming but I am afraid that the cold has prevented pollination. Our cherries haven't even bloomed yet but that may be a good thing.
dannyd - It is a fact, a Native Floridian will freeze to death, if the temperature drops below 72* F. I know. I have done it several times!
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
The weather laughs at our calendars.
I've spent my life in the eastern US (Michigan to New England to the mid-Atlantics) and the latest snow I ever saw was on May 5, 1976. Folks in the northern and western states get it even worse.
Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.
Last week I was attacked by mosquitoes while in the garage…..this week, we’re back to very low teens for morning temperatures. Not sure if we’ll ever get a garden in! memtb

Already mowed the lawn 4 times. Mostly weeds.

28 f outdoors snow and a bit of wind, normaly have food plots turned up ready for seed, not rushing it this yr.
Quarter sized snowflakes falling here at 1700’ in Central NYS !
We got about 3" overnight. Not enough to bother shoveling for but discouraging none the less.
My peach trees just finished blooming. Probably won't get any since it was too cold for the insects to pollinate except for only one day. The weather people in the Seattle NWS office said this has been the coldest April in 70+ years in the whole state.
Easter church service and egg hunt in the local park was entertaining when we got a couple of inches of snow the night before. Had to use leaf blowers to clear out an area for the egg hunt. Temps were around 37 degrees during the service.

Friday it was in the 60's here. Weekend was downright miserable. Tonight we're supposed to get 6"+ of snow. Where's all this global warming???
Snowing like crazy now, an inch already.

Here at 1700’ in Central NYS they are predicting up to 14” of that wet, heavy snow. Yuk...
We got a freak snowstorm Monday and Tuesday. Got around 3" Monday and got stuck in a two hour bumper to bumper due to accidents on a no passing steep mountain road. Was only a mile or two from my turn and no way to go another route. Snowed again Tuesday but not to bad. Supposed to be 60 today and 80 on Sunday.
I still have 3 to 4 feet at my place.
It is getting up to the 45 degrees range so it will be disappearing eventually!
57 degrees and sunny. Tempted to ride my Harley to work. But, it will be 34 degrees when I get off of work at 11 pm. Coldest I've ridden is 37 degrees and got a little frostbite on a finger.
But, I upgraded gloves and rain is in the forecast for all next week, so...

I wanted to change out my studded winter tires, but the garage was too busy and said I had to wait a week. During that week we got a big dump of snow. I was glad I still had my snow tires on.
