tamarack Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 1 hour ago, powderfreak said: I think we could have an amazing foliage season with the very wet first half of summer, and now tons of dry, clear days with good diurnal ranges. Later this week should accelerate it more. If we don't get a good ridge period, maybe an early foliage season? Most swamp maples (just a name for red maples with wet feet) are fully colored. That's not unusual for late August, but the rich reds and burgundies bode well for when the upland trees change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a shot from today...its really not much at all, but a very subtle change from in the past two days. It's no longer just full deep green but a bit of a yellow or lighter hue showing up in areas. Give it 3 more weeks of this weather and this view will be on fire.

From 72F to 56F here in a couple hours with the sunset this evening. 16F drop very quickly. Fall is in the air...goes from comfy warm outside to pants and jackets each night around sunset.

Fuel injected, Electric start, reverse around 3000 miles. My son put on 7-800 miles last winter. It's a solid starter sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unless you know what you are doing, that work could cost some $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son can run it again this year but I want to go all 4 stroke for my mini fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that with ample moisture and no big stretches of heat that the trees are a little less stressed than usual. Funny--I was thinking that I didn't see the leathery look this year. I did notice a general difference on a hill-side driving home last night which I interpret it as the start of good things to come. This should be (or might already be) the coolest night of the recent stretch for the Pit. Sitting at 50.1 at 3:30am. 40's or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 27 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: Piper gonna be paid. Everyone knows it too Who knows. I was looking at my records this morning and this summer is probably going to come in at #3 or #4 coolest since 1985. Interestingly, 1986 was cooler and I still had above normal snowfall, including my latest measurable snowfall of 4/28/1987. 1987 also had my earliest with 10/4/1987. Not every year is analog but you just never know. Take winter 2002...warmest on my record and we even had a heatwave in April but it snowed in May. Go figure.
