April was running insanely dry for my area until the last week or so. It's a good thing we got that wet period.
I really like how the chilly night periods keep returning this season. We've had a few runs that have approached the coldest mins I've recorded for their respective periods. It's kind of interesting to see the posts in the April thread talking about there being many consecutive above normal monthly averages. That hasn't been the case for SEA. They have actually done OK for how warm ENSO was for much of the season.
Ehhhh I was thinking that too, but the growth has definitely stunted over the last few weeks and it does look different than most growing seasons. And I do know what a normal Spring looks like here, I've lived in this house for fifteen years. Like I was saying to Randy, you and him live out in nature where shade keeps things more reliably moist year round. Not to mention you both live at least 500' higher than me and recieve more rain than I do. It might be a metro area exclusive issue.
It definitly helps living away from the concrete jungle! I think if we had a normal amount of treecover the shade would keep it lush. I have no doubt in my mind it's mainly an in-city issue where we have an artifically low amount of shade for the PNW.
