After what was a very
promising trend in warming temperatures, my hopes of planting out
some veggies has been thwarted by a late winter season blast from our
friend to the north! The National Weather Service is calling for a
mixed bag of most all the nasties that can be thrown at us including;
severe storms, high winds, rain, sleet and frost as a strong front
sweeps through the area overnight on Sunday, the 13th of
April! Note that the graph of temps has been replaced with one accurate through the 27th!
Fortunately, I don't have
much planted outside and am thinking that some rainfall would not be
all that bad as my area in southwestern Missouri is a number of
inches behind the average!
Update: As is evidenced by the graph, things moderated quite a bit in the later parts of the month! Now, as we are approaching the last days of April, a minor cool down is forecast with highs at around 55F to 60F and lows in the upper thirties. This will be cold enough that I may have to cover some of the more tender vegetable starts that were planted out over the past week! Right at the 28th of the month, we are running about 2 degrees warmer than normal with three inches of rainfall.
