Allenson Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Late March, lol. Not really true winter anymore but certainly not spring yet...at least here. 15" otg at the homestead this morning. I'm sure it's dropped another inch or so today though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I was gonna schedule a practice next week butOur fields won't be ready for weeks. Still some are snow covered and others frozen and mud. With more deep snows on the way next week they'll be continuing to practice inside for weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What a sick late season pattern. Definitely some serious potential if it were to come to fruition. -EPO and -NAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subdude Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Wonder if the 2 nd or 3 rd game at the Stadium next week with Sox is snowed out? Downright balmy 42 today. Still got snowpack. Slow gradual melting taking place down 4-10" IMY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 its cottonwood that nasty oily kind and it absolutely sucks to hand split, last one that fell we left for three years cut up before I split it. Oily? I'll admit to ignorance now. I like to split as soon as possible after cutting to stove length. Even at this time of year, a week or two allows the cut face to dry out enough to make splitting a little harder, as I found out the day before last week's snowstorm. When it comes to "nasty", elm is the worst I know; that's one I prefer to wait a couple years until decay fungi have weakened the grain somewhat but before the heat value (such as it is - nothing coals worse than elm) is lost. Yellow birch can be a bear, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 What a sick late season pattern. Definitely some serious potential if it were to come to fruition. -EPO and -NAO. Spring Fling. This is kind of the opposite of when in the middle of a torch pattern, LL will troll the obs thread laughing how people say it feels cold when we have one or two days back to near normal...only this time its some of us saying how funny it is when 46F is all of the sudden "warm" even though we are almost in April.

N. OF PIKE Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 still some snow left here in shady spots, this snow held on longer than i can recall for late march snows, next week looks cold (unseasonably so) on euro. winter's last ? gasp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we locking up that epic cold shot at the end of the run? I think it might be smart to consider climo, but if its 46 and sunny here in ten days I will give you all the props in the world. I don't care whats going on in ORH or the fact that you have ice on the yard, just like you could care LESS what the weather is like where I live. I don't see the point.

Mr Torchey Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Balmy... 43F for the high Easy to see how we have different views on whats transpiring this time of year, not sure why its always so combative lol!! Besides the crocuses and daffs, I noticed the first sprouts of Hemerocallis and Nepeta Cataria!!! Very excited, that's what I love about the spring, noticing the little things that change on a daily basis, I guess if a person is not into that sort of thing then they could take it or leave it. Enjoy the snow Hunchy hope it holds on for a long time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whineminster Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Not to mention cottonwood smells like a combo of mud, B.O., and cat pizz when splitting it green. Plus it absorbs water like a sponge, but I'll take it if its free. Your def. right on about elm, that twisted grain is impossible to split by hand. Surprised even 1 cottonwood was growing in Maine, its a rarity here. Oily? I'll admit to ignorance now.I like to split as soon as possible after cutting to stove length. Even at this time of year, a week or two allows the cut face to dry out enough to make splitting a little harder, as I found out the day before last week's snowstorm.

Ginx snewx Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I should shovel off my deck again Can't use the grill attm. We used it last Monday before the snow. I do like grilling when there is snow otg. But can't do it now Skiing in an hour Enjoy the mud in CT not bad really here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 not bad really here Yeah no mud down here either, these last couple misses really helped out.............good luck with the softball team this year and hope you get to play, according to Kevin sounds like practice will be held inside for the next month, season cancel?

dryslot Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Its funny all the winter talk going on in the spring thread, I guess there must be a lot of doubt's about the upcoming stretch if no one wants to start a snow threat thread to discuss it in..............

powderfreak Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yeah on Mt. Mansfield, not the CP of MA, lol. Haha no its only like 28F up there... I'm just joking around. I just feel like this weather is pretty nice and it actually affects my mood...as much as I love cold and snow, there's a reason why its called spring fever. Long days of sunshine are certainly nice after a winter with stretches of like 2 weeks at a time without any vitamin D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modfan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 going to be lousy next week, we flip to summer April 20th As long as it starts moderating or near/slight above normal early April, I will be happy. Usually take vacation mid April to get the yard prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
