  1. Past hour
  2. It just got very windy out of nowhere. East winds at 35. wtf.
  3. I always wondered if the large scale effort to eradicate it here led to it spreading even faster. It probably did. There used to be a group of landowners with like machetes walking along the river through Stowe hacking the stuff down and collecting it. Probably just led to it being washed downstream even faster or moved somewhere else.
  4. Moderate to heavy rainfall finally coming down here. Temp a balmy 64 degrees.
  5. No, this does not look like 2015 at all. It was never this east-based Here is what Paul Roundy has to say;
  6. The biggest problem I see, around here at least, is how well-intentioned homeowners unintentionally spread it. They cut it, bag it, and bring it to municipal compost sites, where viable fragments can get redistributed. Even mowing, cutting, or moving plant material can spread it if stem or rhizome fragments survive and easily reestablish.
  7. Today
  8. Quite a bit of lightning and thunder here. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk
  9. I'm getting a nice shower this evening. Grateful for the rain!
  10. Ha, I get 2 minutes of peas yesterday and I’m super excited. Denver is like, hold my beer. Clearing 8-10” of hail. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZD5k9YCv2F/?igsh=bTRxaW93OHF1d3Jp
  11. Invasives are a zero sum game. Blackberries take over a native meadow, multiflora rose takes over blackberry, porcelain berry takes over the multiflora rose. I do get a bit of satisfaction seeing anything take over multiflora rose. But In the end you lose.
  12. I think it's been pretty established by now that the summer will be back-ended and July and August should be warmer. Still beats 50s and 60s. Also looks like a potentially tropical system will be in the area on Monday. If it stays to the south, it may get warmer just by virtue of the sun being closer.
  13. Yes, started July 1, 1973
  14. It doesn't like shade, which is good. The 2 neighbors have it but we have about 100' of kinda swampish woods that keeps it away I think....for now.
  15. The new thing is to lay 1/2” hardware cloth over the area and let it grow through it. It keeps girdling itself as it grows. Not sure that would eradicate it with time though as it doesn’t need much photosynthesis to refuel the rhizomes.
  16. naw looks like a average Summer at best.. after your 2 to 3 day 80 degree heatwave we cool off..
  17. This is a strong Polar Vortex over the Arctic circle for the next 13 days! Since 2012, May-Aug SLP anomaly 60-90N has flipped in the Winter every time. That's a Winter -AO signal (but it's still early)!
  18. The cool is over. Summer is here. You’ll disappear until September shortly
  19. Next 10 days look dry east of the Apps especially on most guidance but it could pick up after then
  20. there's no big warmth coming if 2 days of 80s is big warmth in June then I don't know what to tell you..
  21. I think in 1896 they were placing the thermometers too close to the roads and would give false warm readings from horses walking by and farting. The climate records are all ruined!!!
  22. They had 50’s. The point is you take the model output and change it based on what should happen. Like when they had 50’s last week.. you knew that was wrong looking at the pattern and ensembles and could see big warmth was coming . It’s not just taking an op run temps and thinking that’s what the outcome will be . Or for one poster who uses an app for his forecasts and thinks it’s correct
