  1. I’d love for it to end, but every nonweenie knows we have 2 months to go.
  2. I mean I guess…but you could just view the other products from NOHRSC like the SWE.
  3. IIRC there’s a spatial element to it where it’s estimating pack density based on observations. The satellite remote sensing detects the water content and then the raw obs are fit to it and the gaps are filled in. So fresh new powder gets underestimated. That was years ago though.
  4. Those run into some problems when you have a lot of the region with a glacier and then pockets with 25:1 fluff. It's biased toward the high density packs right now so when it sees the SNE fluff with little water content it's only estimating a few inches.
  5. I had a young one die last Feb but had a hole already dug for a different hen (who is alive and fine today lol) so I was able to bury her. If I did it over I think I would have a little firepit ritual…not sure. It’s going to look like pet sematary out in my back woods in a few years with all of the chickens I’ve had.
  6. Permethrin doesn't really kill them directly. IIRC it makes them infertile so that they're not reproducing. Eventually the infestation wanes and they die off without a new generation. The first few days after treating I usually don't eat the eggs either, but I have fed them back to the birds.
  7. Wed??? It's not really gone until Thu night.
  8. Actually my bamboo thrives in temps of 0F or warmer. The pack helps keep the rhizomes warm. If I was in CON it'd probably be toast right now due to times where there's no pack and temps radiate down to -20F. I knew you weren't seed starting outdoors now, but it sounded like you planned on planting in Mar/Apr?? That sounds optimistic even in a warm early spring.
  9. Yeah I'll sell 65-70 this week. Although the GFS stalls the fropa a bit Fri morning so maybe SE MA can get some early 60s before the CAA offsets it. Thu looks like a lot of clouds and a limit to the mixing (inversion below 850) and there will still be pack in most spots. It's gradual WAA all day and eventually we pop that dew sector at the sfc.
  10. You're starting seedlings outside???
  11. Love love love these rare Feb cutters that break the cold monotony. I’ll get to see my driveway again.
  12. I had an egg today with mites on it...first of the year. How are you treating them? I loathe having to do it, but the only thing that seems to really stop them for good (for awhile at least) is permethrin. I hate powdering them myself so I have storage bins full of dirt that I use for them to dust bathe in. I add a coating of permethrin to it and mix it in and when they dust bathe they basically treat themselves.
  13. lol…the real anger will start when I’m lagging behind guidance with mixing out. Or when Gene spikes to 50° while I’m still 36°.
  14. It’ll be interesting to see how much of this glacier will remain after the Thu cutter. Those are some sultry dews for a 12hr stretch.
  15. 21.4° Occasional dim sun through the overcast
  16. Lots of 20-30:1 obs out of CT. These ligher events can really pull off the fake factor. A tenth of liquid suddenly becomes 3” of jspin.
  17. Well just keep in mind the ratios then. I’m seeing multiple high ratio obs on cocorahs. So it doesn’t necessarily need to take much liquid to get 2”.
  18. What was model QPF down there? I haven’t been following.
