tavwtby Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 most oaks we have keep half until they start to bud and leaf out in spring, why can't they comply like the rest and just drop already.. 4 minutes ago, DavisStraight said: My brother used to get over a hundred bags a year until he had some trees cut down, he's got 30 so far this year with just a little cleanup left. damn, that's crazy... when I was in Waterbury I used to blow them to the curb and the car wind would take most away... here we have to bag and bring to dump, they don't offer service for it, kids enjoy the piles tho.

When you pros talk about dynamic s/w’s, do you gather that from UL vorticity? Like h7 cyclonic vorticity maps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not near a laptop, but if you loop 500 vorticity, look how that s/w pivots in and then sort of kicks out and aligns almost east to west. You can look at temperature and winds too and you’ll see a very cold pocket of air moving in and also very strong winds on the east side of it. It just means the atmosphere rapidly destabilizes in the mid levels and usually you get some convective elements, strong winds on back side etc. Maybe a few rumbles in the warm sector to the east and TSSN in the VT mtns? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll ask anti blower guys like Ginx and Scoots who like to rake due to the noise hurting their ear drums. How exactly would they suggest I clean off my deck? Should I scoop them all up by hand . Should I rake n scoop ? And then what comes next? Get garbage cans? Stuff them into Hefty bags ? 1-2 hours of work .. Or do I throw on the Stihl backpack 600 and blow them off the deck onto the lawn disaster in under 5 minutes and blow the whole shebang the hell into the woods. I already told you I have a small yet powerful electric leaf blower for the driveway and deck but a broom does work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to a snow squall. These were leaf squalls . And then I come home and the yard was the thickest and deepest of Oak leaves I have ever seen.

weathafella Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Leaf storm today. I have 4-8 on my yard and trying to hold out till the people clean up at the end. Then it’s time for the gutters. I may take a bit tomorrow but then again I may not…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those around here.. and thankfully there’s not many .. dropped in Sept. Just turned brown and dropped . I don’t have any of those but there’s a few scattered around .

The ones we have are young and off in an area of uncleared land between us and our neighbor. Close enough where they will make their way to the drive and who know where the wind takes them from there. In any case, I and the Stihl have them in our sights for the spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a lot of Oaks to drop , but I can look up at them and not feel quite as stressed as I did thinking how many weeks of cleanup left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
