The First of April

And, apparently, the first day of summer as well: at 245PM today the thermometer topped 97°.

My poor trees, that are now entirely greened with new leaves, may be in for a rude surprise. Normally at this time of year we would still have snow on the ground, nighttime temps well below freezing, and perhaps even a killer storm on the way. Some of our worst weather "events" have come in April

We are still two months away from a safe window for planting gardens and the like. Never saw anything like it.
