Only 7 months left... I forgot there was such a thing as "winter", I thought that fall went straight to spring?

Move on my friend, move on. Many are hurting but it hurts to be reminded too. :-)

I have to say so far, this is one of the most uneventful springs I've observed... there's almost nothing interesting going on, it's either rain, clouds or sunshine with not much variation in temperatures. For the first time since I've started my blog I'm literally struggling to write more than a paragraph each night

Using Binghamton and Buffalo's WFO Local Climate links, I have cut the date off for May 1st.

Frost advisory in effect here in northeast Ohio tonight. The weather station on my patio shows a temperature of 56, and dew point of 37. The actual air temperature may be a little lower though outside of the patio. Looks like most weather stations in the area are showing 52 to 55 degrees right now. Forecast lows are from 34 to 38 degrees tonight with scattered frost likely.

Frosty morning here. Lows dropped into the lower 30s, but temps have since rebounded into the middle 40s.
