Re: TB: first bloom in Massachusetts

From: "Steve Szabo" <stevesz@erols.com>

Nancy,

I lived in Central MA for a good number of years.  Looking at the National
Weather Service site out of Boston (http://tgsv5.nws.noaa.gov/er/box/), it
gives the average May temperature as 66 for a high and 45 for a low.  Early
May, of course, would be several degrees cooler.  Stockbridge would be even
cooler still, on average.  Unlikely that there would be any iris blooms in
early May around there.

There should be an NWS site that covers that area (try
http://nwsfo.nws.cestm.albany.edu/, but it is mostly Albany, NY, stuff), but
I happen to have the Boston one bookmarked so I can go there to check on the
weather back "home" as I now live in northern VA, where it is warmer.

I'm trying to get an idea of the weather I could expect around
Stockbridge MA, in the Berkshires, in early May because I am planning a
holiday then. I thought if I could relate it to the time that people
who live  around there see their first TBs each year, I wouldn't be
guilty of an OT post!

I looked back in my records and found the following dates for where I
live just outside Bowmanville, Ontario, east of Toronto on the north
side of Lake Ontario:

1996--June 8
1997--June 13 (a very late spring)
1998--May 24 (a very early spring)

I live out in the country, about 10 miles from the lake, surrounded by
trees, so people in the town might have bloom a week earlier.

If anyone has any information for me, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you,
Nancy
