Is This Spring In Charlottesville?

Is this spring in Charlottesville?  There is snow on the ground!father, daughter & daffodils

After a week that was mainly in the sixties, I woke up this morning to find a couple of inches of snow on the ground.  Thankfully spring snow is rare in Virginia, but it is not unheard of.  Temperatures during Charlottesville VA spring weather can be a bit of a roller coaster.  It is possible to have frost well into April, therefore if you plant tender flowers or vegetables before the end of April you need to be prepared to cover them in the event of freezing temperatures.

The good thing is, those temperatures won't last.  In a couple of days warm spring days will return to Charlottesville.

 

 

 

A Beautiful Spring Night In Charlottesville Under The Light Of The Monster Moon

Its a beautiful spring night in Charlottesville under the light of the monster moon.full moon

Spring in Charlottesville Virginia is my favorite time of year, add in a full moon, not just any full moon but the "monster moon", and you have a very special night in deed.  The spring flowers and white blooming Bradford Pears are glowing in the extra bright moonlight.

What is the "monster moon"?  This super moon is the closest full moon to the earth in 18 years.  As a result of the unusual proximity the moon will appear 15% larger than normal.  We know that tides are higher during the full moon and they may be even higher during this super moon, but this would only cause a problem it it coincided with a strong storm.

Enjoy this very special Charlottesville spring evening and take some time to stroll in the moonlight.
