They forecast a 59° for today, 45° now. If it gets to that it will be late afternoon. Only 40's and 50's here in the long range. Which is fine, I don't like them freak high temps. If there is too many in a row some stuff will flower too early and get frost killed.

The way the temps are going this year, I don't see that happening.
But who knows what will happen in May.
That happened to the apple trees year a couple times.
I was in Pa one year and it was 90° one day and then they had a frost the next morning.

We went about an hour drive from here. Rained all the time we were there and 55.
Got about 16 minutes from the house and the road was dry and the sun was trying to come out. This is a back road that does not get much traffic. No way the cars dried the road out.
Then the temp went up almost 15° higher.

We only got to 48° here, 10° colder than predicted. I didn't think it would get up there without some sun. Been showery off and on all day, but mostly a humid muggy look more than anything. Hauled in 2 buggy loads of wood.

Was supposed to be a rain out here today but turned out nice enough to have an Easter party with the in-laws outside and I just got off the mower. It did rain some, and hard for a bit but not all day like "they" were calling for.

We never got anywhere near 70° here, nor 60°, and they still said it was 57 when it wasn't even close to that.  ffcheesy ffcheesy

Cold wind suppose to start by day break here and barely see 45°. Not much sun either.

I did see 52° earlier this morning. House never cooled off much, no fire last night. 46° here this morning, I think that is the high. The wind has kicked up and going to be a cool day.

I think we are turning the corner or at least not worrying about freeze ups for a while. Yesterday hit 85° briefly but it felt more like 75. I worked in the shop with the doors open and it took all day to get that up to 70. We just got a splash of rain at 6pm last evening at 6pm and the temp dropped 15° at the same time. Was 69 at 0pm last night.

 This morning it's 48 and I got woken up by the wind again at 5:30, running about 30mph, so we'll have that again today I guess. The high for today won't quite make 60, so 25° cooler than yesterday. Lots of sunshine so far though. I might hook up my water pump today.

I have 40 now with a high of 50 and the wind is blowing!!!!
32 will wake me up in the morning.
The 10 days forecast looks like 40 for a low and nothing above 65.
Looks like a slow warm up this year.

Nothing past 50's here for the long range. Temps dropped in the wind, 39° here now. Says 20 mph wind. 30's, 40's and 50's in normal up here. No hurry for heat. More sun would be nice though.  :sunny: :thumbsup:

Brought in a buggy load of wood this morning, added capacity to the woodshed with some old wood in the refuse pile and a couple 2x4's. Never waste anything, comes in handy some day. hahahaha 

Saw 1 deer up by the woodlot, 4 turkeys, 2 were roosting in old cedar snags, 2 out in a field, and a mallard duck was in the brook near those roosting turkeys. You wouldn't think those awkward turkeys could even fly. A wonder of nature.

Was 32° this morning here and we got to 63° this afternoon. I knew it had to be out in the bright sun, kinda felt too warm handling firewood. ffcheesy  Was bright sun all day here, no cloud, for most of the day. I think rain is moving in tomorrow. 

Got the shop woodshed filled up for next winter, hauled in two trailer loads. Expanded capacity even more today. Should be 3 cord all together. I know each rank is ~100 cu feet. I had 100 cu feet already. And she's stuffed to the hilt.

Was a great day here too. A little above 60, there was some clouds but none that affected the sun in my area.
The clouds did move in around 4 and it's raining out now, just a shower, but off and on all night.

Well, Easter was basically 4 days rain.  Ex tropical storm gradually dying out over NZ, Caused a bit of havoc up North with localised flooding and thunderstorms cutting power. And for some reason the power crews weren't keen on being up poles fixing faults when there was another line of thunderstorms incoming. 

But pretty dull here. North of the Mt got drenched, but mostly just light rain at home. Been cool calm overcast today, ~90% humidity, but almost not quite raining. Wind should go South tomorrow, cooler, maybe a bit of snow up in the Mt, and then some nice fine / crisp Autumn days. 

Good as we have a 3 day week to deliver all the online shopping from Easter. Friday is another holiday, ANZAC day, which is the Aus/NZ version of Veterans Day? Kinda dreading what will be in the depot when I get there tomorrow.  :wacky: Luckily they are limited as to what the local truck can actually deliver to us in a day, If there is too much they may send a guy in a van later, but we are gone, and will deal with it tomorrow.

40° and light rain here this morning, not going to get much warmer. I noticed the fields were getting dry here in the sun and wind we've had. The road section that has had no snow on it for awhile was dry and hard. But further up where woods over shadows it it was still wet and sticky. Good thing about the buggy it does not make ruts. Been a couple pickups going up there and just rutting it. And these guys aren't hunting, just road rutters I call them. One nut case tried to cross a road full of snow on a hill, got stuck, and I seen his buddy arrive to pull him out. He went on over the hill, but little does he know the snow will be a lot deeper on the other end of that road in the shade of a spruce grove. Let'm sit there until May 15th to think it over.   ffcheesy I don't know if he got through. We get lots of bone heads this time of year.  :uhoh:

Had some light showers early, has not done anything since. Doesn't look like there will be much, no clouds on the hills at all. Just a cool day.

I usually put it off as long as possible but I had to turn my ac unit on Easter Sunday. 80F upstairs made it a little to hot to sleep. Now it's grass cutting and dealing with a lot of pollen. Cleaned out the stove and will clean the pipe out when ever I get someone to help set up the ladder and hold it for me. Been getting very little build up since I insulated the pipe a couple years ago. I sure like these longer days.

I'm with you on the longer days! I agree that over the weekend was some warm sleeping weather too, too warm! My wife tends to close the window in the evenings now, because my dog likes to bark at the wind. She doesn't bark a lot (the dog, ha!) but it's at random times meaning 3 different times hours apart from each other which is annoying to try to sleep through. Barking dogs make me bonkers. I know they are doing their job but it's still annoying.
