Tomatoes and peppers need a longer growing season than I can provide up here when it comes to growing by direct seeding so those are always bought. I've tried starting bell peppers early under grow lights, but it just never is the same. They get too leggy. I probably need better lighting. I never use chemicals, and I've had issues with powdery mildew when it comes to cucumbers and squash/pumpkins. My best success with cucumbers is letting them climb a small trellis. Having the vines in the air promotes circulation and keeps them dry. I tend to run very wet here so this may not pertain to you. Kale grows here like a weed and I do an entire bed of different varieties now. Everything in that bed goes to the chickens. Spinach grows well, but many varieties tend to bolt. I can never seem to get brocc established before something goes awry with it. Most of your mixed salad lettuce varieties grow well here. Most root veggies end up stunted for me. Either my soil isn't loose enough or too wet. I've tried carrots, sweet potatoes, and beets and they've all ended up poor. Sweet potatoes definitely prefer a warm climo. I may try them again, but do them in a raised fabric pot so they can be warmer and drier. Then at the end up the year I can just dump them out to harvest them. I've gotten more into fruit trees/vines lately and most of the garden beds are literally for the birds.

Rain up to your fanny, but the sfc low slides south of NNE. So it's a cold rain until the CAA and then it mixes out. Still many days to go with that, but the airmass sucks.

The last week has been fairly wintry. 6"+ last weekend, icing event midweek, then the Christmas 3" with sleet and ZR mixed in.

Lots of snow

Ukie was pushing 2" up here...maybe an inch down in SNE. Looks like most other models. 3k NAM was paltry.

13.9” on the season

Nah. Closer to 75”. Around 14” so far on the season so maybe a hair BN.

Gonna need a strong cutter to melt it up here. The positive 850 anomalies this weekend resulted in a net gain of over 3”.

Yeah the depth is at 7" with 1.89" of w.e. going back to last weekend. So that's a solid 3.7:1 sleet ratio assuming all of that ZR froze into it.

My mom did too. Him and Don Johnson. Crushin on them in the winter while it’s -25° with bare ground.

Still can’t believe he scored Rachel Hunter.

Baby I’ll try to track again but I know The first cutter’s the deepest Baby I know, the first cutter’s the deepest When it comes to being jacked, Ray’s cursed When it comes to mixing sleet, Kev’s first

The first cutter’s the deepest

Getting some light snizzle right now. 29.3°

Bamboo nightmare in the run. Hopefully it melts off tomorrow and can recover its straightness. Nice scene out there though and the banks are growing.

Glad we don’t live at 850.

Just spent 4 hours shoveling. It looks pristine and like deep winter.

2.1” of snow on top of the 1.1” of frozen goulash. That puts the depth at 7” of glacier.

Winter wonderland out there. Will measure later. 29.4°

Already 3/8" new snow on top of the 1.1" of glop from earlier in the day.

29.0F and snowing steadily

Looks good. Just gotta get it to flip. Still ZR here.

RGEM is dropping a few inches too.

It’s in western upstate NY right now and should redevelop if the NAM is right. Maybe a few inches?
