75/45 Top 10er. Glad we live here today.

Yeah I’ve been out there watering the garden, pawpaws, and new grapes daily. Everything is okay so far, but it’s a pain dragging the hose 125ft out there.

At least it’s beautiful out.

Last summer was our first fail in a long time. Right when I started the pawpaw orchard.

It’s been relatively dry. Mostly nickles and dimes excluding Memorial Day weekend.

Woke up a little earlier and wanted to throw my phone when I saw radar. Only 0.06” here. Congrats S NH and much of MA.

Wagons south

The Stein correctional vector not looking good for here on ENX radar. Hopefully the HRRR is right. Euro is nada here.

Looks like the high will be 59° today…lol.

57.8°

I think +4/+4 is a little high, but I’m not sure how much AVP has changed. I know CON has increased something like +3/+5 in December between those 2 datasets. I’m not sure that the CLIMO numbers there are what is used by the statistical model…it may just be a general reference for what to expect this time of year.

Have you compared the 1961-1990 normals to the 1991-2020 ones?

Why? That guidance was developed long ago.

Pretty sure the MEX CLIMO is from the 1961-1990 normal period. I assume the NBE is updated to either 2010 or the new 2020s that just came out.

I'd probably prefer your weather, but after the heat I don't mind a cool crapper either.

Looking like congrats NH/MA border on the early 12z runs.

No top 10 up here. 50° and ovc. Should be some showers later.

Sun angle fail.

Is that in meters? ~1300ft? edit…nm, it clearly states feet.

Not sure how you tell, but that's the tree I collect seed from every season...tons of them. Can you tell quickly off hand if that's green or white?

Ditto that for ORH...they were well below 1kft back then.

GFS is pretty wet up here Fri night. Hopefully euro/ukie follow suit.

Ash tree at work. I assume this is early EAB?

I have one out in the back woods that is in that 2.5-3" diameter range that is starting to develop furrows near the bottom. It's probably a 30-40ft tall tree now. I'm worried it's getting to that point now where blight will become an issue. I may try the mud pack treatment on the bark if gets to that point. I wanted that tree at maturity for if/when the Darling GMO trees become available so I can get some blight resistant nuts with genetic diversity. https://ecosystems.psu.edu/research/chestnut/breeding/mudpacking

Yeah there’s a bad positive feedback loop up there in the arctic with the thinning sea ice volume and loss of permafrost. We’re getting cutoff from those cP airmasses more and more in the deep summer and even when we get them it’s generally meh.
