Sure…not saying it was cold overall. Just that there were still periods of record cold east of the Rockies and within a Std Dev of snowfall. Summer 1816 had some 90s up here too. But yeah, there weren’t many cold shots in the upper plains and midwest that winter. Blowtorch.
CON’s 2nd coldest temp on record was in Jan 1878. 50” of snow on the season which is BN but not a ratter in the period of record. But that was in the middle of a stretch of very snowy winters.
It’s been pretty breezy here all morning since I first went to let the chooks out.
43° and SCT skies. Not sure we hit 55° here today.
We tend to drop 25F on rad nights so I start worrying about freezes imby with highs 55-57°. So the potted plants will have to come in tonight.
Actually this is funny. The incorrect temp is coming in as -13.9C/-17.8C which is 7F/0F. And the correct temp is apparently 7C/0C. So something is getting screwed up with the ASOS units setting.
We got one.
I climbed up the tree and cut the last burr off and found a fertilized chestnut. You can see the difference between the two.
@wxeyeNH Any fertilized nuts up there yet?
