I’m “leaning” we do much better than last year in the snow department. So there’s that. Expand Not too scared by AN temps after last winter, mildest DJFM of 25 here but with 114% of avg snowfall. Precip was ~3" AN for that period, with the 12/23 Grinch deluge (3.25") being the difference. I truly think people were just too early with the assessment. We continue to get decent orange and yellow now in the understory, even after the crowns have lost many leaves. Some sugar maples that escaped the anthracnose browning have that classic (and lovely) tricolor foliage. Sugar maples around our place all got hit by the fungi, color was weak and it's all sticks. had some nice red maple color but they're empty now as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell cares how how much snow one particular guy has in his own backyard...enough that it requires a poll? Expand I don’t blame him , he lives at 2400’ in A spot he bought due to it’s huge snowfall . I mean I wouldn’t have a poll in Nashua lol but at the biggest snow spot in S VT ya why not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There were definitely trees that got the fungus around here, they all turned brown and dropped 1-2 weeks ago. But those that kept their leaves, be it late are all turning a beautiful color right now...view from my backyard this afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The move here is to shop around, keep looking, talking about getting one, checking reviews, and then do NOT actually buy one. Then you will be kicking yourself in April because you didn’t buy one, and it snowed like hell all season. Thats the winning formula. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Hanrahan just said a widespread “Frost” very possible for inland areas in CT away from the shore for Tuesday morning. And wouldn’t you know, he said the average date of the first frost for inland CT, is right about when we could see it come Tuesday morning. lol, if you listened to some of the info thrown around in here, you’d think we should have frosted a month ago. Or we won’t frost until December, But nope, we right on schedule according to one of our best pro METS. Hmmmm…I guess things ain’t so late and messed up as some try and make it seem after all.

Most know what’s a troll post and what’s a weather discussion and observations. It looks like we start November cooler than last year, tho. If I remember, it was cooking until that cold stretch the week before thanksgiving or around thanksgiving. I remember something like a 5 day stretch of primo snow making temps after weeks of crap.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
