#NoPoles

I also edited my post, lol. And i told you not to worry about shipping costs do you have a plan yet for your hickories?

I think it is a cherry, the bark looks like individual blocks, the leaves are narrow and toothed and are a dark waxy green. The fruit looks like a wild cherry. Im most used to seeing black cherry in SNE, and prunus fasciculata out west...

I won't be surprised if Josh doesn't make it, or he gets seriously injured.

When I was on Parris Island, we had TS conditions that shut down training for 1 day but we didnt have to evac. I bet they are trying to decide if they need to pack up all the recruits and move them inland.

You're fired

Striped Maple : Reproduction A flowering striped maple. (Flickr user pverdonk, 2013). The striped maple is a flowering tree, or angiosperm. Interestingly, the striped maple can be either dioecious (only male or female flowers on an individual tree) or monecious (both male and female flowers on the same tree). When dioecious, this maple can also change from a male to a female tree. As an understory tree, it can sometimes get shaded out by other trees. In a last-ditch effort to propagate, the tree will change from male to female and put all of its energy into forming seeds.

A few days ago in one of the other threads, i saw some of our mets posting about an north east turn and Dorian was not going to hit FL. I can't remember who all was posting that, but i do remember DIT chiming in and saying no turn, Dorian is heading straight for FL. Interesting now to see the newest model runs hinting at that recurve...we shall see

Reaching the point of no return in regards to Saddleback. Another wasted warm season means another winter of staying shuttered

If you Insta, follow the american chestnut project

I need to follow this account. Was it tamarack who said 1 in every 4 trees used to be a chestnut? That statistic is correct. Our forests used to be drastically different. Southern New England used to be oak chestnut dominant...i wish i had a time machine to go back and see how the forests originally looked

The really sad thing ive noticed down here is there are still chestnuts trying to grow. Most of them gave up the ghost long ago in New England. They seem to get in 2-4 years of growth down here before the blithe takes over. So sad, such gorgeous trees that got wiped out

when i first gathered them they were all green

Omg, Bamboo is a disaster. Invasive species. It is easier to control in climates where the soil freezes for a certain period of time over the winter. But, borrowing from Jurassic Park, Life Finds A Way! My boss wants to plant some in the park here in Nashville. Oddly enough, the park was built on land owned by the Gordon Jewish Community Center. The Holocaust Memorial is maybe 20ft away from the park boundary. I am shocked this was approved as OK. So now the powers that be want to put up a vegetation wall...and they have settled on Bamboo...this is going to be interesting!

Ray took some live video via FB yesterday and it shows how deep the snow is with his ruler, and it also shows how much is piled up cars etc...it is a great visual reference

I think you should share your pics and live video with Harvey and Eric so that they can get a visual.

Blue Hills had a weather conference that winter. My friend and I went, and that's where I met scituatewx. Paul Kocin was there. We all went up to the observatory and my friend and I hung out with Kocin and watched the radar, and basically cried together. If there had been a bar in the observatory we would have been drunk.

Somewhere around 2010 we had an -NAO on steroids. That was the year DC got like 3 or 4 huge storms and we sucked on cirrus

I follow the Sandwich Fire Dept. on FB. They were posting all the calls they went out on today. They just kept posting about trees down on houses, trees down on wires, poles on fire, snapped poles, live wires down and arcing. Then they started a list list of roads that were impassable due to downed debris. It's a war zone.

Dang it I have no place to measure. The back deck and yard are scoured bare, and the front yard is one giant wave drift. The driveway has been contaminated by the plow equipment. They plowed, and then came around with a huge snowblower on a skid steer and widened the street by snowblowing the plow piles up onto everyone's driveway. I can tell you that the snow is so dense, when I walk on it I don't sink more than two inches. WOMAN SNOW!

No, the back yard gets scoured by a NE wind. I'd have to go to my front yard to measure

Got the nice big fat flakes, but the classic intensity is lacking...still, I was stuck with baking powder sand all day so it's nice to see these beautiful flakes

I haven't gone out at all. I thought I would just eyeball off the table on my porch. But nothing more than 2 inches accumulated, so I guess I have to go out to my driveway

Oh ok, this radar is much better. I see why I'm not getting anything, I'm still in that small area of subsidence

I can't figure out how we are getting nothing. How much did you get today?

My friend in middleboro just sent me a text saying he's in a heavy band. So how can it not be snowing where I am? Radar shows I'm under that band?
