Anomalous Weather The New Normal + First Salad Greens

Following an extremely wet Chicago spring--and one of the coolest--on Sunday the temps popped up to the 60s, the cool-weather greens that had been languishing on the roof perked up, and...

First salad (not the asparagus)

Today's high: 76F
Tomorrow's: 82F (20 degrees above seasonal normals)
Wed: 75F

Then we're back to highs in the 50s and lows in the high 30s (the greens will thrive).

Pendulum weather: wild temperature swings are apparently the new norm.
