RDU bottomed out at 34 so on the books it’s last freeze will still hold late March . Total bull crap though because in reality anywhere not in an airport or city did freeze

29 at the official reporting site in Burlington. ☃️

Not sure what it got down to IMBY, but probably was close to freezing here in suburban Durham.

I see Roxboro kicked our ass, but what else is new?

Don’t worry, as warm as our Octobers have been recently, we’ll get those 20 days back on the end…seriously though I am tired of this. I’m so ready to plant my garden. At this rate I’ll be lucky to have corn by the 4th of July and that’s ridiculous

Still can get below freezing yet. In 1989, GSP got down to 31 on May 8. 28 in Asheville that same morning.
 
Pretty impressive temperature gradient.

OKC's in the low/mid 90s while NW Arkansas is in the upper 50s and low 60s.

Yeah I remember that was right after the tornado outbreak on May 5… I think there was some northwest flow snow in the NC mountains as well

The May 1992 snow in the mountains was pretty wild, too!

Remembering the Surprise Spring Snow in May 1992 - North Carolina State Climate Office

By early May, even North Carolina's Mountains have usually escaped winter's grasp. Ski resorts have closed, pastures are greening up, and spring's final freeze has come and gone. You can imagine the surprise, then, when a springtime storm brought a significant snowfall to the high elevations of...

It's probably not going to be active anyway. For whatever reason, the deep south into the TV Valley up through the Mid-Atlantic seem to be the favored areas the last few years. We get the 7-10 split with dynamics or CAPE-killing debris showers or unfavorable nocturnal timing.

And if you're staying inside with temps in the low 70s and dew points in the 40s/50s, you got something wrong with you.
