dendrite

It got a lot worse and I think it’s fire blight. This is an empire which is supposed to have some resistance to that. Oops. It seems to be entering in via the flower blossoms and wiping out the tree from the new growth down to the branches. I tried pruning back all infected areas the best I could and used a clorox wipe to clean my pruners before each cut. If it does, it dies. The next attempt will be an enterprise apple tree to be my honeycrisp pollinator. Those are supposed to be very disease resistant…especially to fire blight. My honeycrisp looks fine though.

lol…it has to go from west to east. Patience grasshopper.

He quit last week. Very thin skin. That’s okay though…not everyone can handle gentle ribbing.

Beer?

Wtf is up with that little area of rain not moving in E VT between LEB and Claremont? It’s been Q-S for hours…almost looks like some kind of standing wave or blocked flow.

Or post on FB, twitter, or IG. Gah, the horror.

Low was a brief 68.4° when we went calm, but it was mostly lightly mixed and/or with variable clouds overnight. I woke up at 5am and it was 71°. Pretty gross out there, but it’s almost over. Just starting to get the dews here.

88.4 for DIT. Tough place to hit 90° on the hill. Max of 89.5° here. Scored my first MPM 90° of the season.

BTV had a 36C so at least 96F for a high.

Well I think part of it is better mixing north of that "boundary". There's more S/SW flow south of it too. So dews crept up a bit this morning over the interior only to mix out. Once the mixing layer drops and winds let up we'll probably see dews spike back up this evening over the interior and we'll have a brutal 70/70 type night.

And temps while we're at it. "Only" upper 80s where the dews have now climbed to near 70F and low/mid 90s north of the boundary in the drier air. Thermodynamics at work.

Definitely a dew front moving in from the SW. Boundary is running from HFD to OWD.

Already 93F at CON/MHT/DAW. Should be on their way to 95-96F. 88.7F at the casa...the same as the high for yesterday.

That’s a good 5° too high for your area…may wanna get a fan for that sensor or some better shielding. What are you using for a reading?

Another torch min for DIT. No wonder he needs to install. Got down to 62° here…chilly for sleeping with 2 window fans stacked and on max.

If it’s anything like your grass it’s a goner.

Pine necklace?

BOS/HFD/BTV up to 94F. Warmest I could find in New England so far is IZG with 95F.

Up to 88.7/62. Warmest of the young season. MHT/DAW/LEB all up to at least 93F.

So what am I looking at here with this apple tree? Fireblight? Lack of water? Maybe just root rot? It’s leaves/fruit are wilting and dying…mostly on the new growth. It’s gone downhill since I got it. Agway had the pot out in full sun too with a continuous drip keeping it moist. My honeycrisp next to it seems fine. I should’ve gotten them in the ground, but I wanted to protect them from deer first.

Cute d10 nor'easter on the Euro.

Well the line was pretty mucn a fail. A little -RA and a rumble, but the best cell missed to the SW.
