Anywhere thats filled in has its first leaves out now as this isn't a model.

Mike luv u but have u been following the discussion in the long range thread. We aren't over my man this time next week we could be talking about 3 weeks of winter to come and maybe longer for your area and the HV peeps.
I like the map.

I loathe this thread, but everyone is entitled to their passion no matter how twisted and sick it is.

No offense but this thread is like watching paint dry, except not quite as exciting.

Thats the point, watching the leaves slowly come out closer and closer :-D

[Radz]

Just curious, if we get a late season hard freeze in the south and leaves fall off the trees, will it be reflected in the map

[mikeypizano]

I don’t think it will.

[CPcantmeasuresnow]

I don’t think it will.

I am sitting on pins and needles waiting to see what tonights map brings. With the current pattern we're in I'm starting to find this to be the most interesting thread on the forum.

Will the leaves continue pressing northward or will there be a sudden suppression to the south? Inquiring minds want to know.

[Frank_Wx]

Who knew such a map existed.

[mikeypizano]

They also have a first bloom map too...

[billg315]

I'm expecting to see a big push north on this map this evening in light of today's near 80* highs. I think the first bloom map may not be needed as I'm expecting to see flowers poking out of my garden this afternoon.

Forgot to post the map yesterday, so here is today's map...

You should quote yourself from the last posted map so we can easily see the progression.  Here is the first map you posted at the top of the thread for comparison. Looks like its exploding into the Tenn Valley

Likely not going to make it into the NE for a bit

Mikey,
I like you. You probably are a good man and solid citizen.  I understand that you are a landscaper and this is your life.  And this stuff is interesting. But I can't stand this post!!!!!!!

Just because the leaves are out doesn't mean it can't snow. We did get Stella last March after all.
