Entire country getting adjectives like “scorching,” “sizzling,” “brutal,” “broiling,” “hot,“ “sultry” (except the PNW, which is “warm”). Not the kind of summer that suits me.
Heavy rain and a couple of good thunderclaps here in north Ankeny since about 11:45p. Tapered off for a bit, and then just picked back up.
This year's weather seems to be swinging more wildly than usual. Snow, 2 days after 80 degrees, is quite the adjustment
Snowing hard in N. Ames, ground is covered, but the concrete is warm enough to have it melt. I had 3/10ths in my gauge this morning when I out and checked from last night.
Not really. Two years ago:
3/26........40 degrees with about 1/2 of snow
3/31........78 degrees
4/5...........46 degrees
4/12.........84 degrees
4/16..........41 degrees
4/19..........77 degrees
4/22...........42 degrees
It's called spring.
It's not just this week. It feels like we have had more of these swings the past couple months than usual.
And cherry picking a different year doesn't mean it still isn't abnormal.
