Well, my thinking was heat may kill the virus. Lots of heat and humidity.  This would be a great year for it.

That would be good.

Oklahoma City set a record high of 92 on Thursday.  It was also 92 at my station.

It looks like our spring green-up will be earlier than normal. . .

Here are some pictures I took 20120327 just south of I-80:




Greening up in Spring is obviously variable!

Yes, I wasn't questioning time of year it just looked like a wonderful warm spring to be that green.  Different areas of country are almost summer-like already.
 
Still pretty brown with natural grass in NC Nebraska but starting to see more green in the lawns.

I was checking the frost line about the top 6" is thawed now but hard as rock any lower so sprinklers are still off.

Sorry if I seemed terse. Was in a hurry.

Things aren’t nearly as far along here this Spring either. I was just illustrating how ‘average’ isn’t normally what we experience, i.e. it isn’t ‘normal’.

Spring is struggling to arrive here in Northern Kansas. Town is always a week ahead of us out here.

Just saw footage from a still camera of a tornado going through Jonesboro, AR on TWC. Starts out fairly small, then by the time it leaves the frame, it's becoming a wedge. It was moving too.

One of the quicker moving I've seen. Looked like it was scooting along at least 60 mph not giving much time to react. EF-3 is what I'm hearing on radar data.

Yeah, at least. I just saw the velocity loop and it formed a very distict couplet signature just as it moved through town. Yikes...

March numbers are ridiculous down here. Currently at 6 degrees above mean and .06 for rain for the month. Have never seen a March this hot and dry before. It's weird to be running the AC this much in March. It's actually one of the best months weather wise with squall lines moving through and temps in 70's to low 80's. Todays forcasted high is 95.
The numbers are slightly skewered because I had a hardware failure for the first 4 days of the month.
Hopefully April will bring some decent weather. The long term GFS is hinting at that.

The temperature here got up into the mid-sixties yesterday for the first time this Spring.  My loft gets very warm and the heat propagates down into my great room which hit 75°, so I opened the motorized 4'x4' skylight in the loft along with cracking some windows on the main floor to allow air in and the warm air in the loft to exhaust.  I soon began to detect an odor of something burning and thought it odd that people would be using their fireplaces on such a nice day.

Then I remembered that when I loaded my GRLevel3 with Allison House feed somewhere before 6am that the last frame displayed a burst, and I mean burst, of fires in northern Kansas!  Yup, it's that time of year when Kansas gifts its neighboring states with the foul detritus of their prescribed prairie burns.  It's a necessary evil and preserves the land in a much more natural state like nature's prairie fires used to do, but I'll be glad when the season is over and I can open my home to the smell of Spring unadulterated by smoke.  Fortunately I can see what's happening using my GRLevel3 images.

I struggle springs around Valentine we have cedar trees everywhere they love the sand and grow fast so their pollen I've found is one of my worst allergies I didn't know I had. They haven't stated pollinating yet but soon it starts so can't open the house up and save a little electricity.  The airhandler uses a 4" thick merv 11 filter so catches most all the pollen.

Sudden surprise for the temperature being this cold in the afternoon forecast.

Randy, you have any leaves/buds that have broken dormancy there? We are seeing some here and they will get killed Thursday night and Friday. If memory serves me, this is the third spring in a row when trees/shrubs have been hit hard.

Last year, the trees here looked like they all had been sprayed with a herbicide. It was ugly.

Don't think so just looking at elm and cottonwood in backyard.

Hello from Greece and more specifically from Northwestern Macedonia. In recent days we have received heavy snowfall that has reached areas with zero elevation. Some pictures from Northern Greece.
