The Ohio and Tennessee valleys will receive light rain that shifts to the east turning into snow in the higher elevated parts of W. Virginia and Pennsylvania. It is expected to be a record-setting event for this time of year.
:snowman:

Post by: jkhanson on May 10, 2020, 08:17:06 am: We are still under FREEZE warnings in the Midwest. Much of Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota.

Hoping the crops that are just poking up won't get hurt.

Post by: pkrahmer on May 10, 2020, 09:21:56 am: It certainly is strange.
I live on the coast in Ma. Yesterday there was snow nearby and we had a windchill of 15 degrees. Felt like winter!
A little better today. Sunny and not as windy. :rose: :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

Post by: debidoo on May 10, 2020, 11:33:17 am: Yep everything strange about this year. Pestilence (murder hornet) multiple tornadoes of course the stupid coronovirus. I don't know it is concerning though and I am not trying to be negative but I wonder if anything will ever get back to normal.

Post by: Nancy5 on May 10, 2020, 11:38:13 am: We had a freeze warning last night. Instead of turning on AC we had to put heat on. And this is May??

Post by: nmbrown863 on May 10, 2020, 01:57:53 pm: Yes this year has definitely been strange! Out of the normal for sure. The weather here has also been crazy. Super hot one day and the next day we were wearing our jackets again.

Post by: gtdoss on May 10, 2020, 08:42:17 pm: Here in Georgia we are experiencing the same old, same old. Not much of a winter and then an early summer. I know it used to get colder in the fall and winter here, because I've read articles that say they used to slaughter pigs in October when it got cold. But now it's still blazing hot in Georgia in October. The weather pattern has definitely changed over the years! :peace: :heart:

Post by: teresa3200 on May 11, 2020, 06:57:14 pm: It is crazy here too, I live in Florida and we have love bugs twice a year, usually end of september for about 2 weeks then our weather starts cooling down. Then in the spring they come back in the middle of April for 2 weeks then it gets really hot and muggy. But this is mid May and we are just getting the love bugs and our temps have been mostly high 70's to mid 80's and low humidity.
