Typhoon Tip Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 It's funny ... the GFS-based teleconnectors really are pretty impressively hot there mid month. But again ..their utility declines post May ...slower at first but by June, CDC stops calculating the cross-correlations until the end of August for example. Not sure...

dendrite Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I really want to plant everything right now, but that airmass on the GFS for next weekend has me on hold. -2C 850s and sfc high pressure right around my climo mean for the last 32F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm here in N-central MA and my climate zone says the third week of May ... One thing I'm wondering about those growing season charts; do they take into consideration species tolerances? Lettuce loves cold weather. I mean ...perhaps not 'freezing' per se, but there are plant types that like that murky and mist and chilly schit, and can tolerate a surprisingly chilly night. My brother-n-law sarcastically gestured that his Swiss Chard seems to need -10 F ! it won't die.. But the literature says light frosts.. Point being, 'growing season' can't really be a hard designation - Anyway, by the time we get to your latitude I wonder what the zone recommendation is up that way. If we're the third week of May for things like Tomatoes and Peppers... jesus, you'd think it starts to challenge the futility of growing those types at all because in 6 weeks we're losing sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been in desperate need of valuable insights to integrate into their seasonal outlooks. There's been a marked deficit in the availability of "...My friend said.." input into the think tanks of scientific responsibility as of late ... particularly during the last 10 years of this industrial-cultural evolution via the murky quagmire of Internet and social-media based public opinion ... It's probably in fact why the official office' track record on long-lead prognostics has been dicey as of late, because they can't seem to find My friend.

Next weekend sure looks colder on 122z GFS than some earlier runs. Assuming the ground isn't too wet (mine is, so no garden till today), peas, cabbage and relatives, carrots, beets, spinach, radishes are probably safe, though at my frost pocket another week's wait is prudent. For the tender stuff, I wait until early June - haven't had a June frost in several years but median for last frost is May 25. Lettuce loves cold weather.

Point being, 'growing season' can't really be a hard designation Mature veggies are tougher than seedlings - I've had tomatoes/peppers survive a light Sept frost, though the cucurbits were toast. In Fort Kent I had broccoli make it through a 9° morning in mid-Nov. (The -1 a few days later nailed it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 New NAM has the drier air mostly winning out up here. So far just a few sprinkles despite some 30dBZ echoes. Looks like CON-MHT will be more of the rain focus today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 This an incredibly fast--albeit delayed--leaf out. As early as yesterday, threes were casting a little shade. Methinks that once the sun returns tomorrow, it will be even more pronounced. The lawn looks like sh*t though. I need to spend some time in the lawn thread for some tips and advice.

The appearance of my lawn is a function of where the ground warmed up. The north side corner where it is shady still looks pretty tired, everywhere the sun has been at it is lush and green.

Typhoon Tip Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 ...How 'bout a spring < than those numbers - Jesus, does the NAM absolutely punish eastern zones for the impertinence of daring to exist where it does. ALB may touch 74 or 75 on Tuesday, sure.. but eastern Mass? F' you for livin'! Apparently the NAM never got the memo that we are owed because of last month - it just goes right on relentless.. Ah, man... too bad climate didn't have instant atonement, huh? Nope ...gonna probably have 5 years of +.01 to make up for that supernatural attack last month. haha GOP climate normalizing - take and take and give pretty much nothing back...
