SVT, but no definitely not. I know 2 people total I think that have them.

We pool in VT in OCT..

Oh, its 100% drought induced. The Taconic range on the west side of Manchester looks half decent, they had some half decent rain comparably speaking.

Was in Ludlow today, looks like NOV in spots on the drive over. Okemo 50% Leaf drop the rest brownish some yellow. Still some rogue patches of color, but I would avoid that area if your looking at leaf peeping this weekend and certainly Columbus day.

In case anyone was thinking about planting a willow tree anywhere but an open field https://www.mynbc5.com/article/holy-moley-rutland-dpw-going-viral-after-pulling-100-feet-of-roots-from-pipe/67951864

Yea, drought turned it quickly this year. Ludlow/Okemo area had some color early Sept, they will almost certainly be past peak by then.

Over 3", kicking Stein to curb finally. Foliage borderline peak this weekend in a bunch areas around here.

I think you have to be ready for it still to go brown under similar conditions in the upcoming years. It may be heat tolerant to 100F which means less chance of it actually dying,not necessarily staying green without irrigation. It will still go dormant. I think they are marketing this for areas in the south of here where 95-100 happens every summer for long periods of time, and where they actually will have die off because of high temps/humidity. Like you mentioned, its getting warmer here, so i think the choice makes sense, just rain or supplemental irrigation will still be needed.

Im guessing the NAM is completely lost regarding Wed? Has a soaker CNE and parts of SNE.

Saw 2 trees down on houses right down the street from me, power out, pretty nasty. Debris everywhere. TL and torrential downpours as well.

Might have been a little thicker last week, but still total crap and pretty smokey, let's get this out of here. Almost forget what clean air looks like looking at a somewhat recent smoke free pic.

Yea, I saw that..oof. I took mine apart as much as I could and did a bleach cleaning and let it dry. I think every window AC prob has some type of issue with water and some mold, but yea looks like a design flaw.

Would need pics to make any educated guess.

Speaking for myself- I enjoy it. I probably mow every 3-4 days. Lawncare and landscaping are a hobby and are actually enjoyable. Many dread having to cut the lawn on weekends, so they can't imagine why someone would do it more than once a week AT most. I dont do it to "keep up with the Joneses" or one up my neighbor with a meticulous lawn or landscape, I don't have any neighbors--lol. I get a lot of us have different views on what is or isn't a waste of time, resource, money when it comes to this. I do spend a good amount of money(mainly on perennials plants/trees/conifers/etc) and like the yard overall looking nice. Part of that is the lawn too, which I also like freshly cut in combination with all the landscape beds. Certainly get that many on here could not give two craps about it this stuff. I really try to keep the lawn stuff as organic as possible, but will also do soil tests to see what is needed for lawn and plants and make amendments based on that so Im not just throwing stuff down that is not needed. With all that said, maybe your neighbor is bored out of his mind or hates his wife

After spending 7-8 hours standing in 50F Noreaster rain last weekend at a huge lacrosse tournament here, let's do it again this morning for another big event. Only 4 hours this time . It's comical at this point.

Sounds about right. It seems like they literally suck the seeds like a vacuum out of mine but the feeders are almost always completely left intact.

I guess this is the year I try this method...

Had the first baby deer fly land on me today, I would take 100 swarms of black flies over peak Deer Fly season.

I think the problem with Vinegar is that its mostly a surface kill. It will most likely go brown pretty quick, but I don't think it gets to the roots for a total kill, so it will just come back. Not just poison ivy, but any thing you are trying to get rid of. I am all ears too for a natural solution that actually works and kills down to the roots.

This is the most blue sky I have seen in 8-9 days.. even bright overcast has been a win.

Mine was really old and most likely very inefficient so probably skewing my opinion a bit, guessing the 2025 versions are certainly a little better.

I'm up in your neck of the woods on I-91, legit lowest VIS I maybe have ever driven in, literally dark as night/insane rates had to pull off. Crazy CGs and trees swaying. Cars going 10mph.

No, definitely more of a learning curve. You don't just pop them in like a standard unit. There is YouTube video that has step by step if you need it. I get them quick now after doing it a season or two.

I have 4 units, its amazing how much more efficient they are at cooling my house. Keeps whole house comfortable. Previously had 3 older window units and a Portable AC it's laugable how much better the Midea's are. The Portable AC was absolutely awful.
