CoastalWx Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 On a side note, MOS has 89 and 90 for OWD on MAV and MET respectively. Maybe BOS can hit 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Dude, leaf out is not little green buds or leaves. If that were the case, this time of year is always AWT. LOL. AEEKT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I consider leaf out to be >50% full leaves out...not those green flower things on Norwegian Maples. I think the next few days will give everything a boost and things will be quite green on may 1st, but there is some work to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 What was this story? How did I miss that? Local Hell's Angels had a disagreement that ended poorly. Search the Berkshire Eagle for the story, happened during the Irene storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Leaf out by Mid April is what we thought. We have it. Mission accomplished What? Even by looking at traffic cameras in SNE one can tell you guys aren't close to leaf out. Leaf out is like 90% of trees are at warm season leaf density. Not like little buds or a greenish tint to the forest. Sort of like when folks try to pass off peak foliage when only one out of ten trees have changed.

Leaf out is when the forest hits it's warm season look of trees filled with leaves. The buds are still just swelling down there giving it that green look.

The buds are still just swelling down there giving it that green look. Is there even a technical definition? I just basically made it up back in March. I figured I'd give Kevin a break and call it greater than 50% and it still isn't close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 models and ensembles look good for a rain storm next weekend. Guess it's possible the southern stream remains separate and doesn't phase but at least right now some good model consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured I'd give Kevin a break and call it greater than 50% and it still isn't close. I'm pretty sure there is but it's not necessarily called leaf out...it has something to do with plants and trees reaching their warm season rates of transpiration and photosynthesis. I could also be making that up but I thought i remember some sort of technical definition from forestry classes in college. Maybe the NWS folks would know as it ties into fire weather pretty directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually more consistent with this threat, than what models showed last week..but yeah it could bust with the srn stream remaining separate.

mattb65 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yeah I don't really see any leaves. Just buds. Most norway maples put out their leaves last night imby. All the flowering trees have their leaves out at this point. But the majority of the larger trees like oaks and stuff still have at least a couple weeks to go. The red maples have all their little helicopter things out around here but I didn't see leaves yet. I agree with scooter, we're still probably another week or two away from full leaf out. That is unless little tiny leaf buds count. Here's the maple from my back yard and most around here are either at this same amount of leaf out or just a day or two away.

snowman21 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 How is that possible? We are almost fully leafed out here in NYC. Not here, and I'm a mere 10-15 miles NE of the city. It's starting, but only the smallest trees and bushes have actual leaves (the flowering stage before leaf out doesn't count). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's starting, but only the smallest trees and bushes have actual leaves (the flowering stage before leaf out doesn't count). We're probably 70-80% here in Manhattan. Every single tree has at least small leaves, and most are well past the flowering stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 It's different in urban areas that have not had cold nights. I just came down rt 3 and very little leaf out at all. Mostly just those red buds on maples with a few green flowers on Norwegian maples. Much different in the burbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hardly anything up this way in terms of buds. We are a solid 2-3 weeks behind interior SNE. When I left Ct a week ago, there were some solid green swelling buds. It would not surprise me to have those trees leafed out later this week. The oaks and such have a while to go even near Hartford.

We've stayed above 40F basically since the beginning of March with a few exceptions (lowest temp between March 10 and now has been 30F here, and lowest temp since April 1 has been 38F).

weatherwiz Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 That is one very potent storm on the GFS for next Sunday...looks like though the heaviest of the rains would be just to our west but it's way too far out to really worry about that.
