A couple of decent shots, but it wasn’t a very cold month. Generally about -1F across CNE/SNE.

Are those individual leaves or leaflets?

We’ve really upped the dews/moisture here since 2000. Lots of extremely wet years and warm temps biased on the warm min side. It’s been tough to get cool, dry airmasses in the heart of summer here since 2007...mostly just the occasional u40 min here and there for CNE. If we go cold it’s due to a shitty wedge with drizzle and 60-65° garbage and not a cP airmass with 68/40 type air with NW winds like we used to be able to pull off. Maybe it’s just a random freak streak of excessive annual moisture, but I do feel like this is the new norm barring some kind of Pinatubo or Tambora eruption. The more we melt the ice caps and permafrost in the arctic the more those polar airmasses will be modified before reaching us.

Euro with -2C 850s here Tue morning. I hope we don't decouple.

Sounds like hell

yup

I think we'd all take some drier times, but I'm pretty sure it was a wishcast because of his moss issues this spring.

Pushed back to late June and beyond now.

We sun now. We'll catch up.

What a fail so far today. Cloudy and 51F.

Persistent trough over us on that euro run. Those are some potent cold shots for this time of the year.

heh...I'll have to try that and see how it compares to some SOHCAHTOA and solar noon shadow length. Lots of blooms on my pears and apple tree here too. Had very few on the apple last year.

Agree John. It’s a warmer look, but still some potential flies in the ointment. At some point we’ll bust through the maritime muck and flip to heat and dews like we always do. Getting some warmth up to James Bay is a better sign...less ways for the heat to fail.

The Maritimes low doesn't have me jumping for joy yet.

Seems like you're really afraid to let high dews into your house.

How many of those deaths were due to a traffic jam?

Did Fisher get his dry month for BOS?

Thought this may be interesting to those who have talked about the EABs annihilating ash trees...

Wow. Thanks for the detailed reply. It’s definitely trickier than it looks. I’d love to drop the front stem toward the camera, but I have a chestnut and cherry trees in the proximity there too. That old dug well isn’t used (although I probably should use it for watering purposes) so I don’t mind dropping it anywhere in that direction. I’d just prefer to drop it where there’s a bunch of cut up logs and brush already. The clump river birch is safe, but my eyeballs say the corner of the run would be close with the crown of the tree. The image should have “objects are closer than they appear” watermarked on the bottom of it.

So I wanna drop this dead tree to the right despite a slight lean to the left (south). Any recommendations on how to go about this? Cut a wedge on the right first and then back cut? Do a bit of a back cut first, add felling wedges, cut a small wedge on right, and then continue with the back cut and pounding in the wedges? Cut that remaining stump off first and then do my cuts lower below the two trunk seam? I don’t want to risk crushing my newly planted trees on the left side. It’s been dead for a few years too so I’m not sure if part of the center is hollow.

lol...there's parts of the ocean we can't even get to.

Up to 67F with abundant sun. Looks like those who got the rain last night are struggling to get the breaks today. Almost like an overnight MCS screwing a temp forecast the following afternoon.

We sun. 61F
