It's almost 80° & windy. We have had winds 25-30 mph with gusts of to 50 mph for the past month. I'm sick of the knock your head of wind. Supposed to get up to 90° today. Storms with large hail & tornadoes are in the forecast for tonight. After this front moves in only suppose to be about 60° tomorrow with lows in the 30°'s.

Hurray! The weather cooperated and its sunny and in the mid 40's with a slight breeze every now and then. I was able to dig out the dying azalea and transplanted the new one into its place.

I am in upstate NY and right now it's 40 degrees.  After a very mild March for the most part April has been much more Winter like.  But it's supposed to warm up by mid week.

@JustJazzmom Et al, I am in Nova Scotia.  We had snowfall last night.  I spent yesterday afternoon cutting down my small grasses and picking up downed twigs in the yard.  I got up to this...in the a.m...

As mentioned by some, April has been worse than March.  Most of the snow is gone but STILL, it is the middle of April.  COME ON NOW!!!  LM

Glad to read I'm not alone. Here in the heart of American, we've had overnight frosts and several cold days with winds 30-50mph.  I could dress for the cold, but much too windy to work in the garden.  I tried raking one day.... big mistake.  At least we aren't having the snow storms like folks are west and north of us.  My big maple tree leafed out then froze and all the new leaves fell off.  Hostas look doomed, but should bounce back.  Creeping phlox are blooming -- that's good, right?  

There's always next year................(I think I say that every spring)

In the low 40's yesterday in West Michigan but supposed to be in low 70's by Saturday. I am so tired of having to wear earmuffs when doing outdoor cardio (yesterday was very windy w/wind coming from the northwest). I always check the weather app before I head out so I know how to dress).

Yup, here in upper MI its still cold, but not for long. I'm hoping yesterday was our last snow (flurries) till next Winter. Supposed to be near 70's by this weekend. Yippee!!

Here in southern Mo it will hit the upper 60's today and 80 by the weekend.  It's been a crazy month so far, warm one day and cool for a week.  I'm ready to put away the sweaters and get out the flip flops and shorts.

It was in the 80's yesterday and predicted to be in the low 80's today and tomorrow.  Can't believe it is this warm in the PNW in April.  Does not bode well for summer!
