April weather for 2026 could best be described as another Model T Ford month. We did have a few warm, sunny days, however for the most part, we had several days of high winds, thunderstorms, hail, snow flurries, and cold temperatures.

We continued to receive a good amount of rain. For the month, we recorded 6.36″.  It has been a few years since we have had that much rain for the month. Last year, the total was 5.21″with 4″ of snow.  April showers bring May flowers.

Pine Creek looks very healthy, and of course, the grass is growing. May is starting off wet and cold. Freeze and frost warnings have been issued by the NWS four of the first 7 days of May. I know it is a welcome relief to many to get out and mow the lawn.  As noted in an article in the Wall Street Journal, most of the country is being well mowed these days.
