Only 4th time in history there has been snow in Nebraska. Typically this would be a early/mid march snow temp event.

Yikes! I feel for you!

Meanwhile, just to the north-east of you (still continental), we're sitting at 26C (80f) today... Please don't send this our way!

Geezzz....the weather going crazy, here in Montréal it was 25c or 78f today, samething yesterday. Well above normal temp. And snow in Nebraska 5 degree latitude South of us. With a difference of at least 20-25c. And the forecaster calling for another 5-7 days above 70-75f in the day. Just started to landscape the yard at my Customer this week

...
And almost got a sunburn

Same in Kingston. 2 days around 80 and a beautiful stretch of weather. You can start to see a sea of green in the trees!

SAme storm up here scott, now its stalled...... It brough some freezing rain last night; good thing my bamboo are covered in snow

Big warm up over the next few days.... 2 days at 0C for a high AND low.... 6C and rain today......

sashaeffer · Post by **sashaeffer** » Sat May 04, 2013 5:10 am

Yea, the storm that crawled across the midlands is now BACKING UP

so more cloudy days and even more cold rain. Easily the worst spring ever.

canadianplant · Post by **canadianplant** » Sat May 04, 2013 5:53 am

its backing up because the front is dissipating (loosing power). Its moving northwest rotation, as well as pushing the jetstream up, as the high pressure is building throughout the day today. Down where you are, this would look like the system moving south, or south west before the air gets sucked back up as the jetstream rises north come monday......

In other words... Hold on to your butts, only 2 more days......

I saw some rain-snow event during 20 minutes at my place yesterday morning too. Thank's God nothing happened. Plus 2 C this morning. And plus 20 today. Very nice the Orthodox Easter day though.

miketropic · Post by **miketropic** » Sun May 05, 2013 9:59 am

it has rained for almost 36 hours here but no snow so i am just fine with it.

sashaeffer · Post by **sashaeffer** » Sun May 05, 2013 11:11 am

Wow, 36hrs straight?

After I PROMISED my wife I would't buy any more palms for a while I was so bummed out by the cool, wet snowy weather I did some retail therapy and bought two more Mexican Fan Palms at a local nursery because they are so cheap and easy to grow.
