Pattern April Thread

Growing season will officially start for central NC on April 1st. We then have a chance for a frost/freeze this weekend.

From RAH:
High pressure will settle across central VA by
early Sat, with thicknesses lowering into the lower 1320s behind a
secondary cold front, supporting lows in the mid 30s to around 40.
As a result, patchy frost/freeze products may be needed for portions
of central NC with the growing season in full swing.

*****6z NAM showing dewpoints way down into the mid 20s.

I know April 1 is the "official" start date of the growing season, but after the freezing temps the last several days I can 100% say it is not in "full swing" lol

Dumb to define the growing season by the calendar. I'll go out and talk to the bermuda tomorrow night and let it know it's supposed to start growing at 1201

I've gotten to where I just wait to plant my garden until late April no matter what. Sure it my delay the harvest but it won't diminish the yield and I've been burned too many times. I've had a handful of May frosts lately but nothing fatal. April can be killer though.
