Y'all are livin in an urban heat island lol. I might have overstated buds. Just little nubs. Nothing too urban where I live although it will get there I'm sure.

showmethesnow Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Think we should rename the thread? February Medium/Long Range Fruit Tree Discussion Thread By the way the biggest threat to a fruit tree after a warm spell and then a hard freeze is it losing it's King Bloom. Learned this last year on one of the bus tours through the orchards during the apple festival in Bigglersville. The festival is well worth going to and it is just a few minutes north of Gettysburg. http://appleharvester.blogspot.com/2011/05/king-blossom.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I am getting numb to bad model runs. It's basically expected now. Just riding it out and waiting for October to roll around to start over. Could care little about April through September and would skip them if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's too early to think it will be spring from now until actual spring I noticed the same. Im not a horticulturist or anything but it does seem early. This winter really is worse than I expected. Thought we'd we weasle our way into an event by now tho there's still time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowsux Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 No weekend update as of yet from JB, and he hasn't tweeted in 7 hours. That might be a record. They're roasting him to death on Twitter too....viciously. I hope he comes through at some point this weekend with his weekly update though. Yeah his forecasts busted hard this winter but that man is the absolute king of spin, and there's a mutually exclusive genius to that aspect of his approach as far as I'm concerned. I hope he doesn't disappoint this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're only about 3.5 hours south of me and I don't plan on needing to mow for at least another 6 weeks. You must have some sort of genetically modified lawn or something.

Very similar look today. The tele signals don't look bad after next week. It's them versus the ensembles! Remember how quickly the potential for this month flipped unfavorably. It's only day 4.

But there was a storm off the coast of Georgia in the early 1990's that was predicted to head out to sea and instead it cutoff and stalled and then headed up the coast for a foot+ storm. Was a complete surprise. I would love to see the write-up on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a storm in maybe 93-95 or so that destroyed parts of Delaware and coastal MD with 10-14 inches of snow. I always thought it was a clipper though that either blew up or had a norlun trof. The event was badly underforecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much of anything up my way but wind driven heavy snow and abandoned cars and rigs all along route 50 near Salisbury. Not sure the exact year though.

Remember watching the evening news and they kept saying it was headed out to sea and yet you could look at the radar and knew it was coming up. Think they finally put out winter storm warnings at 11pm newscast. Was a great surprise. Edit: And you know what? I may actually be confusing storms and It may actually have been in the early 2000's.
