Being a keen gardener- I notice the lack of rain that we are experiencing in the South East currently. Temp has been down to frost level at nights but warms up to around 45 to 50 F in the day time. Doesn't feel like it due to the Northerly wind blowing the Ash Cloud down from Iceland.

But next week is promising- up to 60F and a southerly breeze so you might be able to fly to Europe if you want. That is if the ash is not coming your way and you can get out of the US.
