1/2" of rain, oak leaf accumulations 1", lollies to 4"

final leaf cleanup today. was a bit chilly, and got a little chillier after throwing down a few beers. Will drop winter fertilizer tomorrow. was kind of fun mowing over a couple small parts of the lawn that still had a bit of snow on them. now I need to wait till the equipment dries out before I put it to bed for the winter..

don't worry, I got you covered

hard to tell what I got before the changeover, but I am guestimating around 3"

go for it-assuming you don't want anyone here to get any snow

you would have to tell him what that is, first.

37 degrees off a high of 38. Ice on the pond outside my office* holding on. no geese in sight. sure feels tropical out there. *for reference, my office is less than 1 mile from MHT as the crow flies

I just bought a whole bunch of new ski gear to the tune of about $600. sorry for ruining winter for everyone

Don’t worry, you will be able to get another mow in on Christmas

I had the same cab on my JD. i got tired of how the snow sticks to the plastic windshield, so I just sold it. it is a great concept, and does keep you warm and mostly dry. But it really sucks when you can't see out the front window.

no matter how much he gets, his grass will be so long that you will be able to see it over the snow

that 10/18/09 event triggered me. Was nothing more than a rain/snow mix with no accumulation here. then I got home and flipped on the Pats game, I was like WTF! First, WTF is all the white stuff on the field? And second, WTF is with the score!?!?!

not ridiculous it was actually a good call. the roads were actually quite icy this morning with the sleet/snow mixed in, even down here.

last winter I tripped UP the stairs heading to the bar for apres ski. new boots and tired legs were primary contributing factors

today certainly feels like November. 40 degrees with a little breeze. lunchtime walkabout was a little nippy on the hands.

mine are just about bare too. that happened quickly-like in the last 4-5 days. hopefully last cleanup this weekend

the ignore button is your friend. he is the only poster I have ever ignored here. he brings zero value to the forum.

main lawn is just about 1 acre. most of the other 4 acres is woods, but there is a field of about 1/2 acre, with grass trails leading to it that I have to mow (to keep the ticks down). mowing the main lawn takes about an hour and a half. doing the whole thing, trimming, mowing main lawn, and mowing out back takes about 3 hours. I also have to trim parts of the out back that is thickly weeded. Goldenrod, ferns, woody ferns, blueberries, etc. I trim the parts adjacent to the field, as i have a fire pit back there.

you can peel the gas powered lawn equipment from my cold, dead hands. battery powered anything ain’t going to get the job done in my 5 acre yard.

where is the torch that was promised for today? cloudy all day, high of 51. finished the lawn, had a couple beers outside and it was freakin’ chilly. I’m not skinny like @weatherwizbut damn I need a shawl like @moneypitmike

not happening, James. You need to move several hundred miles south if that is your expectation.

sun's out, guns out up here

it is a winter month up here-but massive variability: average 17" in December over 20 years. and Dec snowfall does not predict winter in any way. last 5 Decembers: 2018: 4", below normal winter 2019: 29", way below normal winter 2020: 32", below normal winter 2021: 9", way below normal winter 2022: 6", just above average winter

down to 30, lowest temp of the month. 88 was high temp on 10/4. 3.5" rain on the month-seems pretty close to normal, whatever that might be.

How long until the NASCAR rednecks are forced to drive electric vehicles around in circles instead of planet-destroying gassers?
