Galeton, Pa. April Weather Report
April 2024 was a very wet month. Lots of April showers Last April we received 1.19″ of rainfall and this year the total was 5.53″. It was well above normal. The streams look very good. The month began cloudy with morning readings in the mid 30’s then it gradually warmed up.
Morning readings were in the mid 40s with a few 50’s then many readings in the 30’s with a few very frosty readings in the 20’s. Even with the ground covered white with frost the grass continued to grow. The mowers were out and very active. Whatever happened to the days when lawn mowing started after Memorial Day and ended on Labor Day?? We did have two mornings with a trace of snow on the ground and last year just one day.
We had 8 foggy mornings and 3 thunderstorms. Some of the March winds held over until April which caused some large trees to fall. Get ready for May flowers. They are already blooming and start mowing at least once a week or more.
