I think we may have had our earliest 80f day ever this past Friday. Amazingly, I hit 27C (80.6) on Friday and 26C (78.8F) on Saturday. Amazingly early for these temps in my zone 4b/5a location. It was above 20C for 5 days with only a trace of rain this morning. It's all ending now with temps returning to 'just' above normal for the next week. I keep thinking that we'll pay for it waith a late hard freeze...
I also had my earliest Magnolia bloom (by 2 weeks)... And was out planting and setting up new garden beds this past weekend... Simply incredible to be doing this the first weekend of April in my climate!
I know how you're feeling Paul, we've had temps of over 20 C here for the past 3 days, and continuing tomorrow ! 😀

I'm loving it down here. Easter last year came with a hard freeze. This year, I'm sunburned from being outside so much. --Erik
I'm sooooo jealous of you guys...
Our temp is, well, the pits (see below).
No sun, no warmth, no gardening 👿
But the spinach and peas are up!

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
I'm wearing out my longjohns 😆 😆
Some spring!

Let us hope this is not only the El Nino (or La Nina?!?) effect...
Paul, you have a great comment in your signature panel 🙂
