Curious about your weather observations for spring.

[Evans, Marv]

It's been alternating warm & cool spells confusing the budding trees & plants. The cool periods between the short times of warm weather have been cooler than usual with more precipitation than usual also. This past winter we had more snow than many years past.

Charlotte had near record warmth for spring. Started in late Feb and has been warm since. By the end of March our lawn had already been mowed at least 5 times. Had one cool week just past, but going to be 85 today.

Over here it's been cooler than usual. Just when you think spring is here, it's snows in one big burp. This has happened 3 times now. The last storm was 2 weeks ago and i figure that's it. Spring is here. The trees started budding around 10 days ago a bit late. It's been cooler than it ought to be.
I felt so bad for the Robins and sparrows when we had those terrible 1 day storms. Caught them off guard.

BY FAR the most beautiful, longest spring I can remember on record here near Atlanta. Averaging 70-80 degrees for what seems like 3 months

plant phenology is about two weeks advanced in the PNW

this is despite being at the convergence of two different types of cold wet cycles - one is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and the other is the shorter cycle La Nina/El Nino cycle

once we are past that I expect we will be in for some hellacious heat

Another winter with no snow - which is starting to be a trend here - then a record breaking heat wave near the end of March which totally confused our plant life. Our prized wisteria started to come alive & then the buds were frozen in early April. Since then it has been unseasonably dry with normal coolish temps.

90 + degrees, then a killing frost on the apple crop. Multiple frosts after prolonged hot weather.
