April this year was a dry and cool month. Most mornings were in the 30’s and low 40’s. The afternoons warmed up into the 50’s. The average high temperature for April is 52 degrees and the average low is 30 degrees. It was a windy month. 

This April we recorded 1.19” of rain  with a trace of snow on two mornings. Last year the readings were 3.01” of rain and 3.4″ of snow. We had two thunderstorms, three foggy mornings and ice pellets on the 25th.

The trees are turning green and the flowering trees are beautiful. The lilacs appear to be about a month early.  The grass is growing and the mowers are out.  Some mowers were out even before the grass started growing.
