wxmanmitch Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 There's no green grass to be had in this Stamford. I list Heartwellville (a section of NW Readsboro) as my location since it's the closest CDP, but I'm technically in the town of Stamford just west of the town line with Readsboro. It's kind of weird since I have a Readsboro mailing address, zip code, and phone number, but my taxes go to Stamford. Anyway, there's still 15" at the stake. Some of the shady spots are about 20". The sunnier southern exposures are definitely thinner though and the rocks are now exposed there as they absorb and retain heat much better than the ground does. We are definitely about a full month ahead of schedule compared to last year and about a month and a half ahead of 2018. I may have totally bare ground by the 1st of April this year. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I went back into my photo archives and found this shot I took exactly a year ago today. I then went out and took a shot of the same spot this year. What a difference! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It may be close to top 3 in BDL..but agree I don't know if that will happen. It has to be what, +7.9 to match the 3rd warmest? I think we could if we get ridging at the end of the month, but it becomes harder as Will said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at 36.7 for 2019. Not the mean. Departure was -1.2 so that’s 37.9. (37.8 if there’s a rounding figure in there) Still, +7.8 to +7.9 is gonna be nearly impossible with the dent that gets put in next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to edit earlier because I subtracted wrong, so that makes 7.9 awfully difficult to beat. Agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was driving through one street and I was shocked to see one in the valley that had flowers yesterday. The thing is that none of the others in the area did or even had bud swelling. It's either an outlier or a different cultivar from everything else in the area. My average bloom time since 2002 is 4/18 so I'm wondering if you have the same cultivar. Do other forsythias in the area bloom at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing else is even close here so yeah, just wondering or making an interesting observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
