dendrite

I think it stirs weed seed up and gives it a place to germinate. But weeds dgaf imo and will try to grow regardless.

Oh it was a serious question. Did you cold stratify them inside? For nuts I usually wait for them to start germinating before I plant them, but you can just put them in the ground now too and let nature do it. My black walnut haven’t germinated yet in the fridge...I’m not sure if they need a little warmth to spring them to life? My chestnuts, chinkapins, and blue oaks all started germinating on their own in the fridge without warmth. edit... I’ll add, make sure you protect the planted nut from rodents. I used 1/2” hardware cloth tubes buried into the ground a bit to keep out voles and chippies. Chippies are the worst...they’ll wreck every seedling. Little bastards love to chomp off my new seedlings and leave the pieces on the ground while they plant their own sunflower seeds in my pots.

Good luck getting that setup to verify at d8.

American chestnuts are germinating already. Time to get them planted.

Hopefully some strong, warm SW flow in 5 weeks or so. Get'em up here. https://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/get-ready-brood-x-every-17-years-cicada-swarm-coming-rcna429?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Still a bit of a mess here with random slabs of ice and snow, but the sun is doing a lot of dirty work. Hopefully there's little left by midweek.

Mid Atlantic posters still looking for New England weather. New England posters looking for more mid atlantic weather.

They’ll struggle with upslope, but they rake it in with SWFEs. We just didn’t have any to come by this season which is strange. It was a weird year.

Rad pits will pull an easy 40-45° range today.

I think Taunton has been thawed out for 2 months now.

Plant this

DIT 39° Ryan 27° Gene 33° Chickens 25° Skyrockets in flight this morning once the shallow inversion mixes out. MWN 30/-15 should yield 60-65°.

GEFS are a wee bit warmer.

Aren't those hardy down to zone 5 or 6? I'd probably get them in early. You may even get away with it now with the nice week upcoming and nothing too frigid in the long range. I'd at least get them in down there by the first week or two of April. Get them rooting right away.

lol...mating chickens. We lawn and bamboo. btw...your station is appearing offline for me. Last ob 2hrs ago.

Has Brood X migrated its way up to Tolland yet? Should be a big year.

Yeah no doubt. It was like 15-16 without that storm. Like Tip said I just really love how it stands out against the other numbers. It's even better that it all fell in one calendar day and it wasn't split up across two.

November

The CAA was a little more aggressive/earlier as well. I was at 20/4 at 9z whereas models had me snowing in the u20s only 48hrs ago.

You live in a concrete jungle. I’d probably hate warm season if I lived there too. Get out into the burbs and get a lawn, garden, and pool. Maybe some chickens too.

What a fail this turned out to be. That dry air is punching through VT pretty quickly.

A+ winter.

This summer will be the first where we use the BDL temps and the Davis dews. I'm kinda excited.

Will the dewpoint hit 70F or only make it to 69F?
