Please keep that cold in your area! highs in the 20's and a low of 9f is unacceptable!

Well I think I'll wait another week to uncover my trachies also. Today was to be the day but it looks like we will get some of this cold here also. It does not look as bad as 9f lows though! Wow, that is a nasty forecast for this time of year. I bet that would set some records. Ours looks like this:

Today (Sunday) Rain 52f/38
Monday Sunny mid 50s/36
Tuesday 45/33 rain
Wed 41/22 flurries possible
Thurs 35/22 flurries possible
Fri 36/23 part sun
Sat 35/22 cloudy
Sun 39/24 flurries possible
And for what it's worth, the long range shows it getting back to the mid 40s and 50s highs, and freezing point or above each night following. Looks like the worst of this will be to the west of where I am. We even had a nice thunderstorm last night in the middle of the night here! Good luck wxman, keep us posted.

Up here we can't count on the freezes being over until may (and even then we can have frosts/freezes). The records in Toronto for March are 26.7C and -26.7C, that's quite a temperature range (fyi the -26.7 and ALL of Toronto's record lows are from the mid 1800s... I'll double check that!)

How much snow is left on the ground?

If you can get rid of that(esp to the north of you),it
should help out 5-10F on the highs and lows.

Still scattered patches of snow. 34F right now with a rain/sleet/snow mix. Ground is coated in slush. Sunny and 50 tomorrow; covers going back on.

Tuesday: Rain, snow, and sleet likely. Cloudy, with a high near 34. East wind between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

Tuesday Night: Rain, snow, and sleet before 1am, then snow and sleet. Low around 31. Breezy, with a east wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible.

Wednesday: Snow likely. Cloudy, with a high near 33. Breezy, with a east wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

Wednesday Night: A 50 percent chance of snow. Cloudy, with a low around 21. Northeast wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.

Thursday: Partly sunny, with a high near 29.

Thursday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 14.

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 30.

Friday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 12.

Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 31.

Well, well... It looks like the updated forecast today now shows we might see upper teens for a couple of those nights. Still showing highs above freezing each day though and a warmup beginning next weekend. Average daily high here is 50f by next weekend. This sucks, I guess we got spoiled last year when everything could be uncovered in early/mid March and we didn't even get another freeze from then on.

March can be such a bitch! Hang in there!

March can be such a bitch! Hang in there!

Yea the up and down nature of the weather collides with the eagerness to get things going again.

Yea,end of this week into and maybe through next week could get
nasty,lots of energy and cold in place is going to fuel at least one major
snow event(IMO). I hope it misses us but somehow I am not sure we'll be so lucky.

At least this time of year it goes away fast here.

Looks like another pattern change as we head into April,
lets hope this cold spell coming is the last bad one until late
next fall,might as well get it out of the way now!

Good idea covering stuff Tim,I may do the same with a few of
my plants-the Washys are already set up to be protected as
well as the T.ferns but I will probably throw the styrofoam covers over
the palms I just planted to be safe,the Trachys,Needles and Sabals are on their own.

Gets better and better! 👿

Sorry!
I had a lot of snow this time last year, but as if to make up for it we have lucked out this year. Best wishes, Erik

Erik,

send some of your heat up north! 70F sounds so nice.

Tim,
I'll try to share. It has been perfect: low of 60, high of 80, day after day. 😀
Even the cold front they're talking about will only give us a low of 42 😯
Canna and banana shoots are popping up--never seen that in March. 8)

March can be such a bitch! Hang in there!

Agreed, we get March 'till about June usually 😈 🙄 😉 😆 .
