  1. Think about the time spent having to clean it afterwards.
  2. How deep is your well? I don't use anything chemical, but I personally wouldn't take the chance. I'm not sure what studies show or what the recommended advice is. My well isn't that deep and I'm on a hillside so I'm a bit susceptible to what people up the hill on my side of the street do too. Given it's redneckville a few houses up I think most of the drainage down my hill has a bigger risk of contamination from rusted out garbage in the yard rather than lawn fertilizers. lol
  3. I’m dumbfounded. I can’t believe he actually did it. It’s such a shame he messed up a huge chunk of the tail end of his career. Best ever.
  4. I like my mulch with no dyes personally...considering another chip drop, but 10-20 yards may be a little much for me.
  5. Anyone ever garden with those large grow bags? I’m going to try a few this year for better aeration and root pruning.
  6. Still have patches of snow and standing water. Parts of the lawn subsurface are still frozen. Despite that there’s some green blades coming up along the west side of the house. Soil temp is up to 34° so the full thaw is on today with 70° later.
  7. Look at that Davis in the shrub soaking in all of that transpiration. Fake dews?
  8. They are okay for snow depth, but not so much for official measurements of new snowfall since there's no way to automatically clear the board without moving parts (unless you want to invest in something really expensive). The NWS really tries to refrain from sensors with moving parts (hence the move to ultrasonic anemometers). Infrared sensors can struggle with depth measurements with sunshine, but that wouldn't be a huge issue while snow is falling. Ultrasonics aren't perfect either, especially with high ratio snows, although the technology has gotten better. But yeah, I think the clearing is the issue.
  9. I’m going to start taking snow obs at the Isles of Shoals and call it PSM.
  10. Sounds good. It's possible the other sites didn't clear. I mean, this was a quick, heavy thump of a lot of snow. The other two sites could have had a few inches of compaction while you had a clean slate to pile up another 10" with.
  11. Still waiting on a part. That sucks. I always feel like death after the first shoveling of the season. Right now I feel like I could do another 2 driveways.
  12. 32.1F -SN 5.2"/0.46" Just spent 4.5hrs shoveling.
  13. That’s 0.89” in 3hr. That is batshit crazy.
  14. 0.36” in the can from 4-5a for MQE. Idk if I’ve ever seen that.
  15. lol at all of the schools closing up here. Friggin snowflakes.
