Quote is from your 1st post BTW.

This is good stuff Sleet. One thing to keep in mind that could skew data is county land size and differences between states. Obviously the larger the county, the higher chances of warnings be issued. SC has 59 counties, NC has 100, and GA has a whopping 159. (!) Now GA is larger in land area so you'd expect it to have more, but that still looks high relative to each other. Just me eyeballing it, GA's counties look noticeably smaller (on average) than SC's. I'd say NC counties are on average a little smaller than SC as well--though not as much as GA.

GREAT observation. GA has more counties than any state but I bet you could fit 100 of them in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Reality sucks but it's where I choose to spend my time. Also those late season freezes have a tendency to lead to drought yay fun.

I mean look at last year we had frost issues in early May

I think the difference tbh is were coming off a SSWE and it’s effects, were in a La Niña/-PDO, idk that just gives me torchy vibes with colder air lacking, ofc we got years like 2018 so I’m probably wrong

It's hard for me to believe that we can get from 3/1-5/1 without a frost/freeze no matter the year.

Yeah we were going along well until it got cold. I just don't like seeing early green ups I feel like it's just going to cause more issues in the end

At least it’s not like the last few years, in fact brad p posted how different it is vs last year, geez it really was torchy last year

Last 2 winters were like that here. My azaleas bloomed (not just budded) in early Feb! Now, they're not even budded. So, here we're at least a month behind last two winters and with no bugs yet, thankfully.

Not looking forward to the upcoming torch at all. I'd strongly prefer spring in spring, not a jump to summer.
