ORH_wxman Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The lack of green on May 2nd is pretty stunning...starting to get those bushes with thorns produce green and maybe just a hint on some of the best conditioned maples, but it's pretty bare out there. 1967 redux of the late leaf-out.

Here in Death Valley pretty much all of the trees have at least buds... most are leafing out now. Amazing the difference between here and the higher elevations northwest and northeast of here.

Yeah absolutely nothing happening up here yet, though when I was down in Albany, NY about 10 days ago they were already budding and was starting to green up. Still November stick season up here, though I bet BTV is starting to green up. Differences like last night where it was 31-32F with frost here, while BTV only drops to 40F, starts to matter this time of year with the growing season.

powderfreak Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Cool time lapse of the January blizzard in Boston last winter... just awesome to watch the waves of snow and differing accumulation rates that moved through in different phases of that storm.

CoastalWx Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 It definitely depends on the tree. The wretched and plague of eastern MA known as the Norwegian Maple is starting to begin leaf out from those green buds. However, the more resident hardwood maple trees are really slow to show much of anything except some red buds. Friend of mine who is a landscaper thinks a good 2-3 weeks behind , but things will accelerate this week. Forsythia still are in bloom and haven't dropped their flowers. Same with Magnolia. Some of those are just starting. It wasn't even a cold April either which is rather telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 The no rain pattern has really hurt lawns Been quite dry over the last 90 days since February 1st...out near MoneyPitMike is down about a half a foot of liquid from average during that time. Anywhere lower than 4" from normal is pretty significant for just a 90 day snapshot, especially considering how low precipitation is in February/March on average anyway.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Just worked out the math and it would take about 54 gallons of propane to initially heat my pool to a swimmable temp, assuming a start temp of 55 and a heater efficiency of 80%. Or, you could just buy a black solar cover, and when the pool is not in use... a sunny day is an immense thermal dose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's varying in the lateness though. Obviously overall we are impressively belated, but red and sugar maples are are entirely bloomed here in Ayer, with small leaves unfurling... Shrubs ...forsythias and so forth have flowered for a week now with leaves observed. So it's a bit further along here. This week will be impressive to gauge recovery. With nights well above freezing and days 70 to 80, the recovery rate should be impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 My forsythias are only blooming close to the ground, where the snowpack insulated them from the brutal cold. Kind of interesting, but also pretty ugly looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I used to do some camping in the Sebago Lake area and definitely concur with Bray's. If you want to play some golf, I like both Naples CC and Point Sebago. I love that area, in fact my son was born 9 months after one of our visits. Bray's is very good, I enjoy playing Point Sebago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
