Lone turkeys are tempting for foxes but still a tough catch. A couple weeks ago we watched a flock of 7 turkeys chase a fox for 200+ yards. He turned and charged them once but they didn't even flinch and went after him even more. Then there was this hilarity in 2023 under one of the mulberry trees - there were mulberries covering the ground and starting to ferment, none of these turkeys or the fox could walk straight let alone chase each other so they just shared the space eating those berries

Taking a break from this thread. You all enjoy your complaining. April was a top 10 warmest ever but reading this thread we're in a relentless freezer. Math ain't mathin folks

12z NAM says let's do this. Even the Euro is now showing a few inches for the Front Range.

39 for the low imby. Really nice veterans day weekend weather. In May.

Welp I guess if our climate began in 1980 there could be a story there....

42 for the low which is good since I have sensitive stuff out. Looking forward to Monday/Tuesday nice weather! I hope I don't get another whiff on the rain midweek

With the pattern for May, wouldn't surprise me that you get frosty even late in the month.

Wow. 39deg here for the low at MCN.

Wonder if it will be possible to get some 90° heat and dry conditions around Memorial Day for a change? The last time there was 90° heat was back in 2022 but there was some rain on Saturday. All the other 2020s holiday weekends featured cooler to near average temperatures or rain on at least one of the days.

33 at DTW this morning. 27 at Ann Arbor.

Even before they started digging, the ground was hardpan, and even the surface soil when they started digging an orange/yellow mess. It was fully wooded so maybe that makes it worse? We plan to have some beds installed by tilling deep and mixing in lots of compost. The backyard is coming in OK. I want a chemical free backyard with clover, buttercups, cornflowers, etc. mixed in with the grass.

Going to be a beautiful day. Temps already in the the 50's this morning. Should be strong 60's this aftrn on a light NW wind.

I keep reading "best spring ever"? Not feeling it; I don't care what #'s say! Precious few great stretches...

Hard to miss that many shots in a 3 minute span!

Yeah even had a few flurries spitting here.

Just a random one-off in this decrepit cold spell. I was just outside and needed my winter coat because in addition to the cold, the wind had to ramp up as well.

Pope’s forecast about as good as the Celtics final 3 min last night.
