TT-SEA Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I hope the high clouds moving in now can keep the temperature up tonight. Frost is NO good right now for us that actually have gardens and other plants. It easy to identify the people on here who grow nothing in their yard ever!

TT-SEA Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 The cold is also harmful for the health and welfare of the wildlife! Those who wish for snow should also be ashamed as the untold damage from salting agents and fenderbenders should outweigh the joy one might take in a single flake falling from the sky. If they grew anything in their yard at all... they would immediately stop cheering for frost beginning in April. Like Jim with windstorms... he used to love it and then it caused a mess in his yard and it affected him directly and now he hates strong wind events. I can tell those people who do not grow anything in their yard. Those people who are cheering for a killing freeze even in June.

richard mann Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 The cold is also harmful for the health and welfare of the wildlife! Those who wish for snow should also be ashamed as the untold damage from salting agents and fenderbenders should outweigh the joy one might take in a single flake falling from the sky. I'd say that as far as wildlife goes, most certainly, are acclimatized to wherever they are. Domesticated pets, maybe some livestock, might be subject to colder temps. And with this, were considering the fender-benders, and if looking at the idea more abstractly, so are we—or perhaps better here, so should we be. — I've never liked the idea of salt being used as traction aid. Some areas (states.) use sand. Oregon of course, uses cider. Quote --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw .05 here overnight. Many times a disgusting and damp day from start to finish in the winter ends up with the same total. I also mentioned this morning that the angle of this front was ideal to allow quick clearing. This front was very Midwest-like. Well-defined and when it ends... it just ends. And the next day is sunny.

They show it everywhere. Apparently a hot ridge of high pressure will cover the entire Western Hemisphere this summer. If El Nino develops later this spring and summer, the western portion of the country especially the Southwest will probably be warmer than average, while the eastern part of the country, especially the Midwest and Northeast, will probably be cooler than average for the summer months. That kind of pattern often sets up with a developing El Nino. Just like you said, the entire Western Hemisphere will not be warmer than normal and there is WAY too much red on those maps!
