Yeah there's a Northfield cocorahs guy a little to my north that was reporting 8" depth when I only had piles remaining in the backyard (front was bare). Some people like to report unrepresentative weenie obs. I could measure on the north side of my spruce tree wall if I wanted too, but I prefer being scientific versus trying to impress the cocorahs ladies with an inflated pack.

Does he have a weenie backyard sheltered by trees or something?

All that Stein wants, is another rainy Then it's gone tomorrow

Stein, Stein, everywhere Stein Burning up the scenery, dryin' my eyes Dried up, don't water that Can't you see it's Stein?

Modoki Winter is a cute name

El nino?

heh...outside but in a bowl with people on top of you in every direction. Then you also have to go into the grandstands to take a leak and get food/drinks. It's not like you're on the beach spaced out a little more and with a nice breeze. To each their own, but I wouldn't pack myself in there like that yet. Texas gon' Texas though.

Just give him your degree now

That's how I did my coop...8x8 floor and front wall...sloped down to 8x6 in the back. Not much waste.

Winter saved?

Meanwhile it's 31F with snow in Pittsburg.

There's a lot of weenies on youtube that just use coarse wood chips (with leaves/needles) and just keep adding to them every couple of years. They keep breaking down and enriching the soil while the top layer mulches and inhibits weeds. My chicken run is on its 4th year with wood chips and when I dig down I can see the white stranded mycorrhizae in the broken down fertile soil. That's probably why the bamboo goes so insane in there...a little chicken poop here and there probably helps too. I used a horticultural blend mulch (natural mulch + compost) last year in my garden beds, but never actually planted. It all broke down over winter so I'll plant in it this year and add more of the mulch on top. It'll probably go nuts this year. When you think about it the forest is super fertile and needs no additives. It's just a self sustaining system (as long as we don't mess it up). All you have to do is sorta mimic the forest and let the soil and microorganisms do all of the work on their own.

Have basically watched the clearing line remain quasi-stationary just to the west all day. At least it's over 50F now.

It's mammatus. They can occur outside of thunderstorms.

Only got down to 40.7F here. BKN skies and windy though.

Totally clear here too. 51.5/18

Min 22.5° The last gasp of deeper winter got mixed out this morning.

Jesus. I’m just barely getting green blades to come up on the west side of the house.

20.5° Much bigger improvement today with sun, little wind, and into the 40s. One more chilly rad night tonight and then we turn it more seasonable.

Ha ha. Nice euro cave overnight. GFS may actually have the better weekend now.
