It's definitely been a lower levels type cold this week.  We visited my friends orchard yesterday at 2k in Charlemont and his low for the week has only been 30F.

It’s been a good stretch as you stated though…nice to see. 20’s four nights in a row since Wednesday night.  Consistent.

Anthony loving and stroking the GFS….
 

Euro is a disaster now I agree, ..but really how much better is the GFS compared to last year/or a few years back?  I haven’t been following its performance, so that’s why I ask. 

As we always say, just follow the EPS. You can’t take day 8+ op storms seriously. GFS or Euro. I still only look at the EPS long range. Never look at GEFS.

I have noticed a domino effect. Like when you lose a few trees that other trees used to hit or depend on to stop them from swaying, they snap. That’s definitely happened. 

Trees that grow up at about the same time share the wind load, nd while trees (some species) can bulk up roots in response to greater movement from wind, often the loss of a few triggers loss of more.  The expanding gap phenomenon is commonly seen as a significant way the Maine forest regenerates itself.

Local tagging station is running well ahead of last year.  Only thing I got yesterday was ticks - lots of little rodents rustling the leaves where I was sitting.  Found 4 last evening then another this AM in a great (for a tick) place, the hollow of my left knee.  After 10+ minutes of contortions I managed to remove it.  Glad it was the left side so I could run the tiny Swiss Army Knife tweezers with my right.  (The bigger ones from the med cabinet couldn't grip the tiny beast.)

It’s a natural cycle for sure. You hate to see it, but the added sunlight will help 50 years down the road.
