weathafella Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I kind of missed the transition from summer to fall being away so long in warm summer like environs. It’s a bit of a shock but I’m ok with it. Just had to change daily outfit to longs, t-shirt, sweater over which should be good for the next 6 months.

Running slightly BN for precip, easy to do when the avg for Oct is 5.66", median 5.52", easily our wettest month. (from tunafish)supposed to do a first overnight camping with cub scouts Saturday. Should be interesting. Memories of my experience, both as a scout and as asst. scoutmaster. It didn't rain every time (Feb 1969 we got caught at Allamuchy Scout Reservation by the "Mayor Lindsey" storm), but it seemed like it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did my first fall clean up in the yard yesterday. My big oaks are still full of green leaves, but in my 5 years at the house I have never seen so many acorns. Anyone else have this going on?

Out of control this year with certain species. I read an article saying it could be related to what they call masting. Tamarack probably knows more about that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look forward to my 50 foot depth this winter. because i have removed several million acorns from my yard over the past 8-10 weeks. every time it is windy, tons fall from the trees. I clean them up thinking-there can't be any more left in the tree. And then a week later, there are even more than there were before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Odd with the acorns. Typically it’s 3-6” per day here of acorns no matter the species. But this year there’s really not that many. There’s one species that is dropping a ton of those small, soft shelled acorns, but those big boy round ones with the acorn lids are almost non existent. Those are the ones the squirrels go after. Weird that MA and NH would be getting crushed but not CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most I've ever seen...But part of the issue may be that the neighbor relocates all of the squirrels now so they don't eat the bird seed.
