the GFS and a couple other models are trying to whiten things up a bit tomorrow night

some trees don't even have buds yet hopefully we stay cool until atleast the middle of May now

Still a lot of ash, beech, and elm here. I dug up an elm out of my tiger lilies by the corner of the house a couple of weeks ago. I have a couple of ash by the house that have to come out too. The older trees have taken a bit of a hit…especially south of here.

I have noticed a few large Green Ash that seem to be hanging on and still look healthy in my area. I talked with a Forestry Professor from Yale who said they are finding some that they call lingering ash. Some kind of genetic resiatance. Some good articles out there if you google more on it. Lingering Ash (EAB Resistance): In North America, a small percentage of ash trees have survived EAB infestations. These "lingering ash" suggest a genetic basis for resisting the beetle, allowing for efforts to breed a new generation of resistant trees.

That’s awesome. No such thing happened here.

Timing stinks yet again. Thursday-Fri look awesome but not the weekend

cold but beautiful evening. getting in a 5+ mile jebber

May 05 vibes on that 18z Ai gfs

Will be nice Thursday with low 70’s SNE NNE looks chilly and wet much of next 10-20

Going to record a T of snowfall today as a heavy graupel shower rolled through earlier.

The EC-AIFS is normal to AN after Wednesday in NNE. Fits MJO phase state. Don’t sell. SNE and mid Atlantic depression gonna drown out the decent weather vibes up here though.

Cover them ASAP

Ash are gone on my 100 acre woodlot. Might be a couple small trees near the road oddly enough that are still alive I'll have to check. This year should pretty much do it for the beech as well.

He lives in one of the warmest spots in interior CT. I believe him.

You can really feel the extra push of CAA up here right now. Dews are dropping into the 10s.

Still a while for leaf out to happen here. Some of the maples have just started to unfurl. Smaller stuff for sure but not the trees.

Not one . Look up

Illinois is the new Oklahoma.

I prepared for tomorrow morning by looking at a list of DCA "latest last freezes" through 2023. The most recent one on April 10 (or later) was 2016. More on this if DCA does indeed hit freezing tomorrow (it MIGHT not).

First thing they think is probably damn that windex!

Cranked mine up again last night. Still running. Hopefully last bag tonight.

I'm kind of trepidatious of picking up our top "need" after Malaki Starks. Good WR's are hard to come by - there is a big difference between the good and bad ones. I think when you have an all star QB that can run you have to make the team about speed. At least keep the range of availble picks open, imo.

Here comes the next WWB and downwelling KW for May. It is also likely to spawn more big TC’s with the associated WWBs behind them…..

There were issues with the offense from a coaching side, imo. But either way we cannot afford to ignore the trenches: that is the main reason we lost last year. Could not get to the QB late in games. Could not protect Lamar. You HAVE to address that. I feel like our fanbase in general has a never-ending appetite for 1st rd WRs every year just out of habit, lol Adding a rookie WR doesn't help when the OL doesn't give Lamar any time. Trenches, trenches!

Truth! Only long running climate data works!
