Daily News | Monday’s cold in Philly could challenge a 145-year-old record
The ambitious daffodils and other plants enticed to bloom by the warmth of March are in for quite a blue Monday.
Another round of random snow sightings are possible Monday: Yes, those snowflakes you were seeing Sunday afternoon were not hallucinatory. “I wouldn’t rule it out,” said Amanda Lee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, which was calling for a high of around 38.However, cloud cover induced by very cold upper air could neutralize the late-March sun and knock a few degrees off the projected afternoon temperatures, said John Feerick, senior meteorologist with AccuWeather Inc. “I think it is going to be close,” he added.
Local horticultural experts recommend covering sensitive plants with sheets, burlap, or other light fabrics. The weather service isn’t issuing freeze warnings, said Lee, because technically the growing season — timed to the last-freeze date — hasn’t begun.
