Looking at the last 12 months (6/1/23-5/31/24), 9 were above normal IMBY. Over that period I recorded 73.19", my average is 45.25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I gave up paying attention to the totals recently when I passed 80" since it started getting wet last June. There was one month last year that I got a bunch of convective stuff that you guys out west didn't get and a few backdoor rainy days that added up that didn't get west of the Taconics but left me soggy.

The Tent Caterpillar showing this year is the largest I’ve seen in the last few years. See a bunch of crabapple trees stripped throughout the area. The HRRR is showing a few showers moving thru later this afternoon and early evening, hopefully it will wash some of that poop away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 15-20 younger trees planted over the past 5 years along the road in the park, maybe 15-20 feet tall, completely wiped clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started with the smaller trees near me, now there are numerous fully grown huge oaks completely bare. The maples and others are getting chomped up too but at least IMBY the oaks are the worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large numbers of those leaf eaters this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be the dead ash trees from the emerald ash borer too, I saw a lot of those along that stretch last summer. I was out in western Orange County last weekend and the hillsides along 84 had lots of bare spots from the caterpillars. I’ve heard the New England guys talk about this for a couple years and now I see it in person it’s no joke. Up to .23” on the day with rain still falling.

Temps dropped off quickly last night. I was at the Fair oaks drive-in, it was 73 at 8:00 and dropped of to 59 by 11:30. Bottomed out to 54 IMBY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishRob17 Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 The trees with leaves in this photo are about 50% of normal and you can see that oak wiped clean as well as the one to the lower right. It'll be interesting to see how hot I get this week as I dont have the shade in general that I normally do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 I have no caterpillar problems at all this year, in fact my backyard trees are denser than ever. It's deep shade and 70° in the backyard right now, it's absolutely beautiful. I'm dreading the upcoming warmth and have to spend at least 2 daysin WNY, I bet it'll be 100+ out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
