In this presentation, Dr. Sean Birkel will step through Maine\u2019s historical temperature and precipitation trends and future projections, and show how these changes link to shorter winters, longer summers, and shifts in spring and fall frost dates. At the end of the talk Dr. Birkel will give an overview of online tools relevant to gardeners, including growing degree day and precipitation summaries, frost date estimates, and otherwise useful climate and weather websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/umaine-extension.formtitan.com\/ftproject\/events?eventid=a1cUy000002jP17\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Registration<\/a> is required.
