Damage In Tolland Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Complete 100% leaf out would imply that looking at a forest it looks like it does during the majority of the warm season. Green with full leaves on the trees. So your backyard now looks like it does on Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day? Again..leaf out means leaves are out..It doesn't mean every single tree is 100% out. Come on dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 When I overlook the canopy from my house and see leaves on all the trees with no view of the forest floor that to me is full leaf out, not quite there yet, as I said my batch of cottonwoods are bare. 75% seems about right in my neck of the woods.

powderfreak Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Again..leaf out means leaves are out..It doesn't mean every single tree is 100% out. Come on dude Ok ok...just trying to stir the pot...but 100% implies all the trees are out. It you take 10 trees and find 3 that dont have leaves that's 70% but maybe I'm wrong. It's obviously hard to quantify when it happens. I just find it hard to say 100% until you are at that point where all the trees have leaves...not small green growth, flowers, or buds.

Yeah that's what I'm getting at...you look at the forest and you can't see through it at all, just like you would for the majority of the warm season. Like if you look at a hillside, can you see through the little green buds and small growth of the canopy and see the ground or under-story? Or is all you see is the leaves of the canopy?

moneypitmike Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Leaf out=shmeaf out. More importantly and quantifiable is it's another chilly day. Up to a whopping 50.9/32. Maybe I can get some seed down prior to any shower activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 We're obviously ahead of normal around here this spring in terms of an early thaw (snow melt, ice out) and an early budding, flowering and leafing-out of trees and shrubs and the emergence of herbaceous plants but the calendar is slowly catching up with the season. Where we were once three-four weeks ahead of schedule, we're now more like two weeks. I couldn't agree more. We can debate about the meaning of leaf out and other things but things have slowed down and we are catching up with where we should be here too. We are no longer 3 weeks ahead of schedule, that's for sure. If we were, we'd be frost worry free with late-May crops ready for harvesting and we are no where near that (yet).

weatherMA Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 LOL at today being cool. How can people walk outside today and honestly feel cold? I mean, its not hot or anything but its comfortable. 61/35 with occasional breaks of sun. Tomorrow looks like a great day for six flags...I wonder if anything will close down with gusts like this? It might be a little chilly. LOL Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 54. Breezy, with a northwest wind between 17 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph.

Do you see that low getting caught up in NE Canada as opposed to getting shunted into the Atlantic at d4-5? Thats the only thing I can see that'd keep us from seeing 10C at 850 late next week as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride Bizzaro naked like Wiz does and see how that feels. did your class make accelerometers to measure g-forces (or bring an ipod/iphone with the app - free!)

On Monday our physics teacher told us it would be 70 and sunny on Friday, and everyone was like "great, that's perfect".

She said to "enjoy the fun of physics". just for fun, download the app onto your phone or whatever. Not really work. It just makes line graphs showing accel in 3 dimensions. The homemade accelerometers just use a tag-board arc and a string that has a weight (rubber stopper, etc) to show it. SF is opening a new coaster (transplanted from Magic Mountain in CA) called Goliath, but I don't think it is running yet.
