I got these from Sheffield’s, but I had to wait a year for the notification they were in stock. https://sheffields.com/seeds/Castanea/dentata Go Native trees has started trees in stock and sometimes seeds. I got germinated ones from them in spring of 2019 and saplings in 2018. I prefer the direct from seed method with these since they have such a deep taproot. If the regulations are progressing for the resistant trees you could wait it out a few years for those as well. Generally they want you to grow a pure non-GMO tree along with one of the eventual resistant ones so that they can fertilize each other and increase genetic diversity. 27 minutes ago, tamarack said: Back in my brief and unlamented time as the state's urban forester, I went to the national convention in Minneapolis and on a field tour thru Hennepin County we saw an area planted to burr oak at which the trees had 4-ft tree tubes. They found that when the little trees emerged rom the tubes the leaves were at the perfect height so deer could dine without having to lower their heads. (Of course, w/o the tubes those trees would never have reached even 2 feet tall.) Guess I’ll be going for the 6ft ones then. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just now, STILL N OF PIKE said: Are you comparing to the spring or the Summer. My guess was Taunton's peeps were speculating about the first wave peak. Either way ....the testing was only going on for the Worst condition folks back in April. I mean ...that is why the overwhelming majority testing positive then were Elderly. (those who have the overwhelming majority of strong symptoms) ...they weren't testing 45 year olds with the sniffles for Covid in April...they told you to stay home and self quarantine. It's just very difficult to compare the waves and determine thru case number and breakdown within age what ages are sicker this time. That data seems like it could be determined between the current spike and the summer Mini spike a bit better when testing numbers were more comparable among age groups/ and symptoms or lack there of. You couldn't get tested in Spring if you were 30, 40,50 unless you were basically a very moderate to severe case of Covid or part of tracing back to a bio-tech conference....Now anyone can get tested and you are catching the large amount of asymptomatic and mild cases that middle age and younger adults are likely to see that were not being tested for in Spring. I guess my point is comparisons with the first spring wave are almost a mute point given the lack of testing that went on for mild and a symptomatic carriers. where as the summer spike comparisons have some more validity "Moot" Yeah... case numbers are not a great way to compare due to the huge increase in testing availability. But the hospitalizations, ICUs, and deaths are up a bunch. New "records" (I hate that term) for the first two, and high daily/weekly death #s It is also working its way through the previously untouched rural areas... the Dakotaks/Wyoming, etc are pretty hot right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as the hospitalizations are up, from what I hear from some of my buddies at the Brigham they’re not as sick as they were in the spring. Some of it is because they are admitting cases that aren’t as bad off. In a lot of instances, it’s a couple a three days or so then release. Of course there are others that require a longer stay, but the whole nature of this wave is a little different. 3000 cases per day in Massachusetts aren’t the same as in April. I really really wish they would publish the Ct numbers somehow. That would give us an idea of what the viral loads are. If half the daily cases are like 33-40, then those people aren’t really contagious and I’d say probably aren’t even having symptoms in some instances. The other thing that would be helpful is to know how many people test because they have symptoms, or is the test done because they traveled or want to travel. Next Sunday I know of 4 tests that will be done on asymptomatic people to get back in school and work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most legendary traders ...Jeremy Grantham...Buffet are very clearly calling a bubble and they admit they are not going to be accurate at timing the bubble.....but that its current valuations are not sustainable with regard to Schiller PE or Market cap/GDP just like in 1999 or 2008 when they made similar calls about a year early. I just wonder Hippy, if the global central banks are just even more in now. MMT was basically launched and followed since 2008/2009 crisis...rates have been pinned at 0% for nearly a decade minus the Fed experiment to raise them in 2018 when the market hemorrhaged or in 2019 when the economy was so "strong" that the Fed had to conduct big time repo operations beginning last SEPT to keep financial market assets climbing (bc in a bubble you either climb or implode) . Point being..the Fed isn't done trying and they will get more "radical" with their balance sheet expansion. Perhaps even telegraph direct equity purchases if need be. ECB would probably lead this charge. People always are quick to say ....whoa whoa whoa this policy isn't working....look a the inequality blah blah blah. So long as the top 1-2% can keep accruing wealth and see their paper assets grow...its working just the way as intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes ICU ages and Deaths can always be compared thru the waves so yes they are definitely up from the summer. They aren't near the spring levels (ICU USE or deaths ) but obviously up and that's no shock because the testing methods over the summer can be related to current positives cases numbers (even if testing has still increased some) . If you track the current positive case numbers among 70-79 year old AND 80 plus that unfortunately will give folks a great idea when deaths will or wont spike a couple weeks later much more so than general hospitalizations but i understand we can't over whelm the hospitals so that general hospital data is important for its own reasons. I don''t see a tremendous correlation with young people numbers rising first and passing it to older folks...i don't believe the spread takes that much time across age groups but maybe i'm missing something . Whitinsville WX basically articulated what i was trying to say but better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 9 hours ago, STILL N OF PIKE said: Increasing risk of a double dip recession Q1/Q2 2021. Fiscal inaction from a deeply divided congress magnifies the economic consequences (slowdown) from Covid scaling back economic activity , particularly in the industries currently in severe recession But also as revenue shortfalls begin to lead to their own dominos . The next few quarters , the economic pain has a couple paths to climb the socioeconomic ladder And gain market share In the middle class and upper middle class as job losses should regain steam this winter w Covid rises and provide cover for cost cutting measures in middle management and people furloughed as a less enticing view of the recovery comes into focus as well as dealing with revenue shortfalls ..especially in major cities where large local and state aid via stimulus was counted on. Bank losses in the commercial real estate sector may weigh on and potentially generate “ issues” in Europe first . Most see the economy growing nicely in second half of year but not recapturing pre pandemic levels for a while and the recovery to be sort of “K” shaped. Middle class potentially hollowed out a bit . We shall see, hopefully the virus abates faster. Buy stocks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the one to the NE Harris Dam? Farmington co-op's 43" is their biggest dump on record and their pack was 84" at the end - was Maine's deepest until Chimney Pond in Baxter Park reported 94" in 2017. Some trivia - Gardiner, Maine co-op reported 12.0" but 3 miles south at our place we had 10.3" from 1.70" LE from often rimed flakes. Good call (assuming it's a dam). I had to find the point manually, but it led me to the following metadata regarding that station: GHCND_IDENTIFIER, LAT, LON, ELEVATION_m, STATE, STATION_NAME USC00173588 45.4586 -69.8653 253.0 ME HARRIS STN If you're curious, that location observed 60 inches of snowfall for the denoted time range. The maximum for this event occurred at Pinkham Notch in New Hampshire. I might remove it from the map since it's pretty absurd or too wildly epic. The station observed 108 inches of snowfall which is 38 more than any other station lol. It was an "outlier," but based on the location, I kept it.

Harris Station is indeed at the dam on the Kennebec. That's where the rafters put in to float down to The Forks. Long Falls Dam measured 56" from that storm, and I've seen that reported as Maine's biggest single snowstorm. Here is the data I have for Pinkham: 2/25/1969 27 18 2.11 21 113 2/26/1969 22 18 2.5 24.5 137 2/27/1969 26 15 1.61 27 164 2/28/1969 22 9 0.25 4.5 158 They had 130" for the month, with a 16" event during the 1st week and 30" from the "Mayor Lindsey" storm, reported on the 10th. MWN reported 97.8" from almost 15" LE. All that snow raised the pack on the summit from 22" to 26" - probably added 8-10 feet to Tucks. And I forgot to note with my "trivia" that it was for March 1993. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
