  1. The neighbors’ lawns looked fairly green. Must suck to be the one eyesore on the street that the neighbors talk shit about.
  2. Maybe it'll come back next year and resprout from the ground. Waiting until it went dormant may have been a better idea. I have a 4ft ash tree growing out of my front mulch that I've been hesitant to chop, but I may dig it up and try to transplant it in Novie when it's deeply dormant.
  3. lol...you know how bad QPF can be 7+ days out.
  4. CON 27° again...just need another 2° for a 4th straight record.
  5. fwiw my soil temp hit 54F this morning. Here's the date that 1st happened in recent autumns... 2020: 9/21 2019: 10/5 2018: 10/14 2017: 10/17 It may drop even lower tonight with another near freeze.
  6. Some really vibrant oranges and reds in the early maples. Everything seems to be early this year and I’m sure the cold shot and dry weather help. 80s type foliage season.
  7. The noaa model site is getting renamed Models and Guidance Analyses (MAGA). Does this mean we’re getting weathermodels.com graphics on the MAG site? Maybe he’ll block data access to wxbell?
  8. Sorry to hear. We have one of our fave chickens struggling since Saturday but she’s inside in a dog kennel putting up a fight.
  9. Foliage is starting to pop around here. Seems pretty vibrant in spots to me. I never noticed drying or wilted leaves this summer though.
  10. So CON bottomed at 27° which completely breaks the record low again. 3 straight record mins with no ties. Pretty impressive in this era and at that site...especially September. They have obs going back to 1859.
  11. 30.4°. Hope the avocado and fig trees are okay.
  12. 31.5° First time below the 32.0° mark. CON is 28° so that ties the record for today. Trifecta ftw.
  13. Make sure you treat them again in the spring because they can put out a few generations in a season and multiply quickly. I’ve gotten some pure neem oil off of amazon and mixed it with mild soaps (like those dr bronners castille ones) and water and sprayed some plants with it with some success. That should protect the pollinators since neem only kills when it is eaten. The problem is you really have to saturate the leaves. The systemic non-organic insecticidal soaps work well too, but they probably harm the bees. The systemic ones allow you to just spray the tops of the leaves and then it works its way through the plant. Neem you would have to spray on both sides...kind of a PITA.
  14. Bring the warmth, dews, and rain on. I want my growing season extended.
  15. Looks like TAN started to fog out based on vis obs. Everytime it got down around 34° the vis spiked down. There was some legit fog around 7z.
  16. GFS is really wet in that period as well.
  17. CON just made it to 27° so that’s 2 straight clear record lows. Impressive for 160 years of recording history.
  18. CON is down to at least 28° for a tied record. 32.4° here but we’ve had a pesky wind off and on all night.
  19. I had to dig a hole out in the woods today for one of the birds and under the decomposed leaf/wood litter it's still moist. The forest floor has an ability to withstand these occasional dry years. It's always lush and green out there...no fertilizer or water required. Man made lawns are another story...
  20. 44.6F About 8F ahead of yesterday at this time.
