Warmest Day in Over 3 Months...

The last time we topped 80 degrees was on Nov. 27, 2020, or 91 days ago.  After a foggy start, brisk south winds blew away the fog as narrow bands of cumulus clouds aligned themselves to the south winds.

A cold front has stalled to our west and north and that is serving as the boundary between warm, muggy Spring like air and cooler ( not frigid) air north of the front.   That front will not move much until early next week meaning we'll stay in the warm air through the weekend.

About the only negative with our weather will be the return of low level moisture/humidity.  Dew points in the 60s should mean daily morning fog is likely into next week.

Finally, here are pictures of my yard before the freeze and after my clean up of all the dead stuff.  I went from a lush landscape to one that will take a while to recover.

Note how you couldn't see the base of the tree before the freeze.

In the top picture, you can't see much of the fence or the bench while you can in the bottom.

So the freeze did a number to my variegated ginger, but the rest of my yard doesn't look terrible.  With this kind of warmer weather combined with higher sun angles should allow for rapid growth during the coming weeks.  The 6 foot plus ginger took 2 years to grow that high.  I'll be happy to see them 3-4 feet by August.  Enjoy the weekend and stay tuned!
