April & May 2009



I have no 1st of the month picture for April, and I finally figured out why: it was RIGHT when we returned from Tom's accident & convalescence in Arizona . . . AND then the April Fool's Day blizzard fell.

But, at any rate, the high for April was 72°, and the low was 16°. Rainfall totaled 2.70", and the highest wind gust was 29 mph.

After a wet early spring, things started drying up in May. The temperature was high to moderate, with the mercury topping out at 85° and bottoming out at just 30°. The means that the last frost of the year came in this month (unfortunately, I don't have the precise date.) Rainfall was only 1.46", and the wind was up at 43 mph.
