I know CON does that up here.
I just wait it out as long as I can and let the wind blow them to the edges of the yard. Then I get out there before the first snow or late season wet stretch and finish them off with the blowing. Then I mow everything short and just mulch in the few stragglers leftover.
I was in Geneva NY for the relatively big 2010 one. I’m all set with anything bigger than that. Seeing brick buildings wiggle and rock around like jello wasn’t my idea of fun.
It's only been warmer than the current 75F at CON this late in the season two other times.
78F 11/7/1938
76F 11/20/1991
That 76F is still within reach.
I’ve had something the past week. My eyes have been itchy, irritated, and watery...eye lids and under my eyes dried, peeling, and a little caked up in the morning. A lot of nasal drip and some phlegm too.
Maybe I’m immune now...who knows?
