KamuSnow Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 sunset last night Very nice! Made it to 34F here, 1 degree warmer than the lowest this fall so far (33F) imby. Plenty of frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 My annual pics of the banana and palm trees before I put them in their shelter later this week. This will be their 4th winter. The wind tore the banana leaves a bit, they get rather delicate after some cold. Nice plants. I think you answered this last year, but what is the minimum temp in the shelter? Any chance of Pennsylvania grown bananas one day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Nice plants. I think you answered this last year, but what is the minimum temp in the shelter? Any chance of Pennsylvania grown bananas one day? I have a heater that comes on to keep temperature 40+. Unfortunately due to daytime heating from the sun, they grow through the winter so I have to cut them back a couple times as they get jammed against the roof. I'm not sure if the severe pruning I give them (back to 6' high) before putting them to bed is going discourage fruit production. Haven't been able to find anything about that on the web. Hope they are okay after last night, I didn't expect to be at 32 this morning. Putting the shelter over them this afternoon or tomorrow. Expecting upper 20's Sunday night.

RedSky Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 33.4F low Quick glance at vegetation shows the mums, butterfly bushes are not harmed so if there was a frost it was slight. Not so sure anymore that a freeze will happen sunday night imby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDoppler Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 32.1 this morning for me. I'm not sure if that's my lowest so far because my thermometer batteries were dead the last frost we had. There looks to be a couple of opportunities the next 10 days or so for more frost.....either way no more grass cutting for me until April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 .....either way no more grass cutting for me until April I've got one more mowing to do this weekend and then that should be it until 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Today I discovered that even if a leaf isn't actually blocking the Davis tipping bucket, if the stalk extends down towards one side or the other of the collector, it might not register any rainfall...

Leaf stalks seem to always find a way to insert themselves in the little hole at the bottom of the collector. A perfect fit. Then it's amazing how quickly the collector fills up with 0.00" on the display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Rainfall so far today 0.42" Currently steady rain Temp 42.0 Wind NNE at 4 to 6mph Barom 29.89" and Rising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's amazing how quickly the collector fills up with 0.00" on the display. This was a bit different. I think the rain was running down the leaf stalk and missing the collector entirely. Nothing collected in the Davis. (In case you are wondering, plenty of water was in the CoCoRaHS gauge and now that the leaf is gone, the Davis is functioning normally).

Hmm. First problem I've had with my Davis station in 3 years occurred this morning when it quit recording rainfall after 0.05". Hoping it's just a simple clog. If this rain ever stops I'll have to get up on my roof and give it a look. Some other local stations are reporting between .8 and 1.00". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
