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?

Holy fuk who cares?

dude, you just triggered me. more leaves now than when I started yesterday

mowed/cleared leaves today. Made some giant piles of leaves to transport to the woods. took 3 hours. And now there are more leaves on the lawn than there were before I started

Today was almost a carbon copy of this day last year. tons of leaves to clean up and with every little gust of wind they were pouring off the trees. I gave up by 2 pm and started drinking. There’s always tomorrow

zero sun here today, high temp of 72.

Jan of '87. I was in the MHT area then, and there was a solid 2'+ pack that Jan into Feb

back when I was a kid, the snowbanks were always wicked tall!! 2 reasons for that: 1. I was a kid, and everything was taller than me 2. The snowplows didn't have the side wings to push the snowbanks back and out.

we got smoked in that event. had no power for several days

first frost/freeze of the season. got down to 32.0

0.3” since yesterday. Pretty meh so far.

hmmm, who do I trust here?

Jortuary

maybe Devin, but one absolutely rhymes with WauntonLizard

now compare property values my theory is this: the lower property values cancel out the higher property taxes. In other words, a 2k sf house in NH cost the same as a 2k sf house in MA (all other things being equal)
