I think some of Idaho and parts of the North-West had a record cold April.
But looks like May could be a very nice month here.
Holy crap...snow mid-April

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

IT hasnt been that bad here actualy. Last few weeks have been cloudier and a bit wetter then normal, but the temps are bang on. People here jsut forgot what a normal spring is like after so many years of early springs ( of course a few normal or longer springs thrown in).
The big difference here is the fall. We normaly get frost mid september ( avereage last frost is sept 15? ) But the last 10 or 15 years the fall has been lasting longer. I never noticed till i moved back to the city after 2 years in calgary. Even the winter wasnt as long lasting as normal ( with some damn cold nights, but compared to "normal", 5 nights or so near -30C is nothing compared to what i remember as a kid where it would last for weeks).
The last 2 weeks have been bang on as far as Im concerned. Things are a week or 2 behind due to some cooler daytime temps, but we havnt had more then 2 nights in a row of just below freezing temps. Lowest was -5C at the airport last night ( warmer in my area probably -2C), and none predicted for the next 2 weeks.
The best thing is the ground has been thawed for a few weeks now so the yard is good to go for the mass plant-a-thon that awaits it.
May/june according to enviroment canada, is going to be average temps, and above average precipitation for NW Ontario ( not bad actualy, we could use the extra water. The lake shore ( Lake Supirior), was down 10 -15 feet last summer).
Hope for a good growing season!

Wow, April was warm for you Erik.
I'll whine with you about May
We're on day 3 and two have been lousy (as though that's NEW!)
Hope the rest of you get hot, as we're not.
Palms that have seen 80 and 90...and then experience 36 F...it MUST be ok as only prolonged chill causes harm.
Or?
Gonna throw another log on the fire...
Then spend the afternoon naming the fungus gnats, who I've come to know very well.
