It looks like we could reach 90F here tomorrow and possibly Monday. Even with this cold spring, this is still a little earlier than the average first date. There's a chance of avoiding it though, hopefully 90s can wait.
...but still even with this really cold Spring Southerners are still being snuffed out by heat. Just how much colder than normal does it have to get there to get rid of that heat? Sheesh.

Aberdeen average first day of 90 is May 20th. So it's pretty normal for this time of year if they hit.
True. If the average is May 20, it's common for one year to be May 10 and one year to be May 30.
Well I was just saying that because I was looking at wunderground and there were tons of Mays in the 1960s, 70s, and 80 where the temperature never reached 90. But yeah, you're right, it's kind of stupid to complain, at least this spring and summer (hopefully) isn't like last year.
It's been a dry spring here, haven't heard too many comments on the dryness on the forum, though we had a number of fire weather watches. Moderate drought. Plants seem fine for now, though.

Stupid to complain? The weather's awful, so I think you should complain about it . My point was that the South is still really hot half the time even in a much colder than normal Spring. It would probably take 15F below normal in all three months for the Spring weather to even be decent in that region.

It's been dry in New England? I haven't noticed any particular dryness, but then again I don't follow East Coast weather closely.

3rd driest April on record here with only an inch of rain.
May is 5th driest so far but we have rain all today and all week on and off. Maybe end up Top 10 still. Too early to say. But yeah, we're pretty dry here and probably Top 10 for many more areas.
6 of the last 9 months have been below normal here.
