MARCH 23rd

Record Spring Warmth

Wow, what an amazing warm-up this spring.  I’m not sure how best to put it in perspective.  In 142 years of records, there had only been 10 March days that hit 80 degrees.  We’ve had 8 this month; what took 142 years to happen once, nearly took place a second time in a recent 10-day period.  We also set a record high temperature on 9 consecutive days.



First mowing: March 13th.  Victor Mendoza stripes the 1st green.  The turf is still off color at this point.





What a difference a week makes; notice the significant green-up and the flowering trees.
