Nice! Going up in the winter at all?

I don’t frost well on the ground here on my hillside so I don’t see frost above 33. At my old place near Massabesic Lake I used to radiate like mad and could frost the ground up at 35/36. You really need a spot where the cold air can drain in and pool. If you fog up at 34-35 you may not even frost up in the valley either since the temp in the fog layer will be somewhat uniform. Either that or you get some dew that turns to frozen dew if you drop down to 32 after it forms. Someone like Kevin who stays well mixed will be less likely to see frost at >32 as well. So a lot goes into it. To me, a frost is a frost. If you see frosty grass at 35 it counts. But I only track freezes/32 since you can actually track that with remote sensing. You can get a freeze before a frost too in a season like this where you are way later than normal and then a strong cold front comes in and gives you a mixed 30-32 with no ground saturation.

I haven't even had 30s yet and nothing in sight.

ECMWF gets the computer upgrade soon. I think the main problem for the GFS has been data assimilation.

If the upgrade helps I’m all for it. The previous version has had uncertainty for awhile now.

Yeah sounds like a bolide.

Sun starting to peek through the overcast. 60.4°

Here’s the 47r3 webinar.

What time exactly was that? I don’t recall anything. I’ve been gone for the last 90 mins, but I was probably home when you heard the bang.

It was a dumbfounding winter.

I don’t think this will grow back…it’s too high up. It broke right through the quick up to the jaw. If it does grow back it’d take a pretty long time to get back to a useable length.

We sun.

The scarecrows will scare off all visitors.

The only thing I clean up are my pear and apple leaves because they can carry fungal spores on the leaves and if I remulch them in it becomes a neverending cycle of leaf spot and crappier fruit. I don’t want a lot of non-native weeds, but I do like the dutch white clover. So I let that grow like wildfire and over the years it has spread throughout the lawn and helped the grass (and I assume nitrogen) as well. But yeah, I think mulching in healthy leaves has more positives than negatives. Nature generally knows what it’s doing.

Yeah I don’t think I can go that route. There’s no way my girl will sit that still for me either. I just want to be able to get a small amount of food into her mouth at a time and let her swallow on her own…not stuff a tube down into her crop. I got a good 6-10 sardine tails in her last night, but she needs more throughout the day. Hopefully she realizes she needs to bite and not peck her food now.

Mulch it in baby. F your frankenlawn. lol

Mow and mulch them right into the lawn.

@Ginx snewx You must have worked with puppies and had to tube feed. Can you recommend a large feeding tube that would let wet mashed chicken feed pass through? This girl somehow lost her entire top beak Monday and it’s a struggle for me trying to feed her myself. She can’t eat on her own right now until she learns to scoop her food. The only thing she can manage is grapes and even that’s a struggle.

Glad we not there.

Not optional here. Mandatory nude.

Coworker said the leaves up north are the best he’s ever seen it and he grew up in Gorham.

Alex. And some cold spots in Maine.

They may not even fall off this year. Just change to red, orange, and yellow and turn right back to green.
