Spring is back on track! Today featured an odd contrast in which the day started off with snowcover then the day ended the day with brilliant sunshine with temperatures in the middle 60s! Here in Rochester we went from having 2.50" of snow on the ground to a high of 65.F, It is considered usual to go from snowcover to 60s in one day but it felt great! The extreamlly powerful May sun melted the remaining of this snowcover by 3pm and because the ground was again relieved it allowed for further warmer and allowed the temperatures to rise into the lower to middle 60s.
Backyard 7:30pm 11 hours later Sunday May 5th
By days end all but a few piles is all that remained of the historic snowcover! It is the fastest meltdown I have ever seen, it is quite stunning to go from 13" of snow on the ground to nothing in just 48 hours!
Not only did we loose the rest of our snowcover today, we actually progressed furtuer in the growing season. Daffodils made it great through the 15" of snow we got and are now in full bloom! My Magnolia is starting to bloom as well and I am now seeing a few Tulips starting to flower. Spring is on its way once again, temperatures are expected to be in the 70s for the next several days!
