| March 2010: Another one for the record books - Palm Beach Daily News Posted: 31 Mar 2010 09:22 PM PDT Home > Palm Beach Weather Matters > Archives > 2010 > March > 31 > Entry March 2010: Another one for the record booksMarch 2010 in Palm Beach was the coldest on record according to the Southeast Regional Climate Center, which maintains temperature and precipitation records going back to 1938. The National Weather Service will have an official assessment in the next few days. But unofficially, through the 30th, records at Palm Beach International Airport showed an average monthly temperature (highs and lows, averaged) of 64.1 degrees. Previously, the coldest March on record with the SERCC was 64.65 degrees in 1969. That 64.1 degree reading will be adjusted. But with this month going out on a cool note, this will undoubtedly be a March referenced for years to come. It was also the fourth wettest March on record with the SERCC. PBIA recorded 10.83 inches of rain. There were only three years in which March totals exceeded that: 1982, when we had an all-time record 16.78 inches; 1970 (11.95 inches); and 1993 (11.06 inches.) Although March goes into the books as a very wet month, that was largely due to torrential rains over a two-day period on March 11-12. Over those two days, we received 9 inches of rain. The warmest March on record, by the way, was 2003, which came in at an astounding 77 degrees. It's interesting that, in the space of seven years, we experienced the warmest and coldest months ever (based on 72-year SERCC records). The highest temperature for the month was 83, which occurred on March 26. In a month in which we should, ordinarily, have high temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s, there were only three 80-degree days at PBIA. The low was 39 on March 5. We had eight days with low temperatures below 50 degrees. What's next? The long-range forecast from AccuWeather shows temperatures fairly close to normal, with highs in the low 80s and lows in the mid-60s. Ditto for the National Weather Service forecast. The Weather Channel long-range prediction is for slightly cooler temperatures. By the end of April, the average high rises to 84 degrees, with an average low of 68. Temperature records for April are 99 degrees on April 30, 1971; and 38 degrees on April 6, 1920. The days continue to lengthen, but most of that daylight is tacked on in the morning. Sunrise and sunset on April 1 is 7:11 a.m. and 7:38 p.m. On April 30 it goes to 6:43 a.m. and 7:52 p.m. Let's conclude with the wisdom of the almanacs. The Old Farmer's Almanac predicts above average temperatures and dry conditions in April. Weather experts at the home office in Dublin, NH anticipate one cool snap, from April 21-26. The staff at Harris' Farmer's Almanac, however, beg to differ. Gazing into their crystal ball at their headquarters in New York, they see cooler than normal temperatures, and more frequent thunderstorms. The National Weather Service in Miami has posted a detailed report on Monday's tornadoes in Broward County. Damage was minor, the NWS reports. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| Posted: 31 Mar 2010 06:38 PM PDT Today I feel like someone placed my head in a vise. I feel achy all over. I rarely catch a cold, but when I do, it sets me back a notch or two. Tootie Mae dislikes sneezing and the smell of Vicks Vapor Rub. I do not care for some of the stuff that she marvels at and sniffs, either. I would not stoop so low. The weather promises to be nice this week, and I need to shake-off this bug and do some yard work. I, also, need to clear the ditch along the homestead property of debris (leaves and small sticks) that accumulated over the winter months. The giant oak near the long deep ditch drops a lot leaves. Sometimes, in the fall, I store my rake too soon. I cannot wait until the soil on my garden spot is ready to till. The soil needs to dry out. We would like to get some potatoes in the ground soon, if not according to the almanac. Dad had great gardens for many years in the place I will be planting. He planted with and without guidance from almanacs and suggestions from end of rows sitters and superintendents any day, any time. Hugh Lynch's gardens flourished and produced in abundance with sameness each year. His father, taught him well. Natural abilities, hard work and dedication beyond compare helped him feed our family and many others during his planting seasons. Soon I will plant again! Last week I received news that my poem "The Planting Place" placed third in a national poetry contest that I entered a couple of months ago. One day, several years ago, while walking through the rows of my freshly planted garden, thoughts of my dear departed loved ones overwhelmed me. I looked toward Restlawn Cemetery, just across the fence. My wonderful family's brief return, if only in my mind, comforted me. Dad, Mom, Larry, Johnny, Etta Ann and little Larry Hugh came home to walk and work in our gardens, with Sandy and me. That night I dreamed that I followed them back to His garden. All of my tears and fears vanished and my sorrows washed away. The vivid dream was short lived, but beautiful and indelibly etched in my memory. I woke up inspired to pen the poem. Some may find the imagery somewhat vague. I understand. Draw your own conclusions. I threaded the planting imagery throughout the poem and used a disciplined approach to verse. The Planting Place I know a planting place where seeds were sown And deeply set in loam of rootless time, A place my heart alone and soul has known That rests in confines cornered in my mind. A place to stoke the fires that burn inside, Rekindling embers into a ghostly glow; I see the ripples of an ebbing tide; And like a babbling brook, memories flow. I drain the nectar from my longing cup And reap the sweetness of a sweeter cast; My garden bounties in fruitful sup, And I bow to the passions of my past. I touch upon my sorrows in my quest While spirits fall into familiar hands, Then I carefully lay them down to rest Because I know a place that shifts the sands. Now in the dimming of my darkest days Into the brightest light yet to be shown, While waiting at the portal of my amaze I know a planting place where seeds were sown!
