Stevo6899 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 No groundhog day event this year it seems. More often than not when there's plenty of cold around, there's no storm around. By the time the next low approaches the region, the colder air has retreated and we see the se ridge flex its muscles and its congrats msp all over again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowtie` Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Hey hardypalmguy, I can have a sort of green lawn without the need of dyes or paint. Not bad for the 29th of January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 As we close in on February, I'd have to say that this is about the most pathetic winter I've ever seen in this area up to this point. I've lived in a few different locations so let's just say the years I've been living around the I-80 corridor. Still have not had the grass fully covered yet. The December storm might have done it if there hadn't been so much blowing/drifting, but hard to say. Still haven't had a 3" snowfall. Not to go all beavis on ya but that is just ridiculous for this latitude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going beavis is justified. In fact that's what it should be used for, not knit picking little things during snowier times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm under 10" At the end of the day it's just snow. I don't care that deeply, and it's been nice not having to drive in bad road conditions too much. But still, would be nice to at least get a good event or two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s felt like winter only twice this season: 1) The 72 hours after the Christmas storm 2) Now This is the most pathetic winter I’ve seen, hands down.

michsnowfreak Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 We're only halfway done. But so far it's definitely not as bad as 2011-12 here. Plenty of time for improvement or unimprovement lol. The wintriest spells have been mid November, the week of Christmas, and late January. We have had snow on the ground continuously since the morning of Jan 22 with no melt in immediate sight. We are at 19.2" so far....2011-12 was my all time low (since I started in 1995-96) of 25.5". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of anything pre-emergence. I much rather spot treat when I can see them. Pre-emergence seems to restrict grass growth as much as weed growth. I would rather get as thick as I can with the grass first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every spring I dump a couple pounds of fresh seed and roll it in. Spring rains do wonders getting this to germinate without any extra help from me. Then I walk around and spot spray the weeds as the show up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny it sure looks and feels like midwinter as we close out January. I'm glad you're back though. Was worried since you did not say a word when Milwaukee got an 8" snowstorm. Figured you forgot your password or something. After all that's what we're here for, right? To discuss weather 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
