So I guess that Arctic Oscillation that kept the polar vortex out of here all winter finally cracked - in May - and sent us what is hopefully a final blast of cold weather

By mid July we will be reminiscing about how much we miss the lower temperatures.

Still, would it hurt if Boston got to warm up just a little? Please?
My local club used to do a Mother’s Day ride. I can’t tell you how many times the ride was a cold wintery ride. No one along the Front Range in Colorado plants anything until after Mother’s Day. Even then, it can be dicey.

Silverton, high in the San Juan mountains, has a rhubarb festival in August because that’s about the only thing they can grow up there.
