Freshets of yore here. October of 1785 sounds like fun. https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1779m/report.pdf

Just noticed a 71mph gust from the top of Gunstock this morning.

CON had some VIRGA obs in the remarks around that late aftenoon time. Maybe they reached the ground up here like in ORH. But I do like the weenie 29F -SHSN ob to finish off September. There's nothing on the Franklin Falls COOP forms for 9/30 or 10/1 so the observer apparently didn't see anything during the day, but I'm not sure they were looking for flurries up there at the dam back then either.

Here's the ORH snow obs. Looks like early evening.

Yeah it was later in the day up here.

Screen doors slamming shut in Ayer.

The great flurry of September 30, 1992.

Those localized downslope winds always amaze me. The evap cooling probably helps those winds mix down. Meanwhile it was raw and rainy here with mostly light winds until evening.

You forgot to include the preceding DJF too.

Looks like it was impeached.

You could mulch widely and deeply around the oak and landscape it like you did the other tree in the background. Deep wood chips or mulch will conserve moisture within the crown perimeter of the tree. Maybe that'll keep the tree a little happier with fewer roots seeking out moisture. Southern exposed slopes are tough. Your pic looks like it's very sandy in spots...not exactly the look of very organic material. What if you planted some smaller trees around the edge of your driveway/lawn? Something like a few thornless sunburst honeylocusts that will give some shade to that area to conserve surface moisture.

I lied. They were 7/24 and 7/25.

I had back to back hail storms with that in Auburn, NH.

What a pants tent.

The great high pressure of Feb 1981.

I think I’d relax on the pesticides but that’s just me. I find it hard to believe they wiped out every bit of greenery like that.

Citra Jr. Comet VF1181 An early version of the “C” type citrusy hop. A vigorous American heirloom variety. It is an all-purpose hop used for bittering or as late additions to bring out the strong citrusy flavors. Result of a cross of English “Sunshine” X wild Utah male around 1962- (10 years prior to Cascade). A potent high-oils hop with “raspy” or “wild” bitterness; similar to Brewers Gold. 24-40”sidearms. Substitute: Citra, Summit. Emerges in spring bright yellow and leaves green up somewhat as the bines mature. Currently being described a Citra’s “little sister” by a major western hop supplier. Think I'm leaning Chinook, Comet, Triple Perle, Newport Putting the ASOS right in the middle of the mulched hops bed.

I've been doing my research on disease resistant varieties. Chinook is one that frequently comes up and it's the only one GLH has listed as being somewhat forgiving with poor drainage. Generally all hops varieties stress moist soil, but very good drainage as wet feet will kill the plants. Triple Perle and Newport were the other 2 I had ranked up there for ease of growing. It so wet here and I'm prone to mildew diseases so I want to give them the best chance possible. There's a nice list here of different hops varieties. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B7aNkuU_q8iEREdBMkxWcFI2THM

lol...any suggestions on ones I can legally obtain? Anything from GLH you’d recommend? I’m thinking 3 or 4. https://www.greatlakeshops.com/
