WinterWolf Posted Sunday at 01:51 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:51 PM When we say growing season..we mean gardens..not lawns. Gardens have been done here for a few weeks. Some areas the gardens I guess are still growing, like Tolland and S Wey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't even come close to a freeze/frost here with just 2 lows of 39 the 2nd being this morning. BDR hasn't gone below 38 yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted Sunday at 02:03 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:03 PM I’m definitely a micro climate. Even the coop a few miles east in Hingham hit the 20s. But still it’s been a torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted Sunday at 02:24 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:24 PM AWT.. no freeze . They made it thru just fine and Jim Dandy. A freeze happens with lows in upper 20’s for a few hours . Not an hour under 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a few newer ones that have made it over from Russia that are similar in cold hardiness. I think the key for getting fruit is finding the one that ripens the earliest. Even if the fruit don't ripen in time it'd probably make a nice ornamental. How low did you get in Feb '23? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a few hrs later, they start to show the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason why it takes longer to get a freeze here, is being on a small hill and having some flow over the water. If the wind is like 340 like last night the airmass modifies slightly. I only notice it really this time of year when Logan can be colder than here on that wind. I can literally go down the street and it’s several degrees cooler.

CoastalWx Posted Sunday at 02:49 PM Share Posted Sunday at 02:49 PM We had an early November snow event I think in 2014 where I had a mix here and about 1.5 miles west had like 2” of paste. I remember literally going down my street to take a left and I could see the snow on the trees pasted on a hill a mile away while it was basically a mix here. Same wind direction, NNW. Was actually crazy to see. Same storm brought 2” to my parents in Marshfield on west side of town. That NNW wind direction is off the land for awhile down there so they weren’t directly getting warmth by conduction off the water like I did despite being SE of me. Same reason why in November 2018 I had almost 6” of snow with light ESE winds while Jay in Southie was choking on catpaws. Cool to see these things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
