  1. Funny as Alex mentioned Orlando as I just got back late Friday from there as well, dews and heat felt nice nice when you have easy pool access. Back to perfect NNE spring conditions for a morning hike..
  2. Like the parting of the red sea down the CPV https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-Vermont-02-24-1-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined
  3. Wondered why my bird feeder was empty. Wasn't knocked over, still standing, but not a seed left after being totally full. I guess bad time of year to leave bird feeders out over night. https://video.nest.com/clip/15d2d9016002408c8726087e2b4c1412.mp4
  4. Pics of the lawn? Also, pic of the lesco grass seed label?
  5. .....annnnnd back to reality today. 46F OVC and Windy at midday.
  6. As Gene said, before I moved to VT I noticed a lot of Bamboo in SE PA. Looked to be getting out of control in spots. Definitely pretty invasive down there.
  7. Just what the Dr. Dew ordered today. 71/41..perfect.
  8. I'm more of a mulch guy, but that does look pretty good.
  9. Yea, didn't realize some states banned it. I mean it makes sense, there is no need to apply it unless you soil is deficient or your starting a new lawn from scratch. And if you have a soil test that proves your low in P, then you can use it, even in the banned states.
  10. You may be right and as Julian said in NY he was having trouble. Seems some states have the ban. Most Starter Fertilizers have a pretty high phosphorus count as its important in establishing a new lawn. They are normally like 18-24-12 or something in that range. The middle number(phosphorous) is normally 24 or 25 or so. I havent used phosphorous since 2009 when I redid my while lawn from scratch so I haven't really had the need for phosphorus in fert, so guess things have gotten strict since then. I do mostly organic now if I can, but will do some synthetic Nitrogen drops in the fall.
  11. Lesco makes ferts with phosphorous. They also make them without too.
  12. 2.02" last night caused some issues down here in the valley. Snowpack i noticed was pretty meager actually on my drive up to Stratton on Saturday, so could have been worse I guess. I wasnt expecting 2-3 inches of rain either that fell here up through RUT area.
  13. Looking out east from my backyard, hell is trying its hardest to ooze over the spine of the Greens.
  14. 2200ft-Diamond Pond COOP---as the others stated- somewhat limited data set. https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/IPS/coop/coop.html?_page=2&state=NH&foreign=false&stationID=271968&_target3=Next+> https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org/
  15. NWS CAR tweeted out a graphic---looks like they are in 9th place for 1" or greater, but only need 8 days to get to the #1 spot. So it seems like a lock.
  16. Closing in on 2" here. Mix line looks close. 32F
  17. Anybody know where the spine is? ha Might be mowing here before Mitch melts out.
  18. Yes, I meant to mention that I could see people enjoying the Spring skiing, empty crowds, etc--that is a perk. I'm not a die hard and someone who only got out about 8-10 times this year and mostly because my kids started their junior program in school. Non spring skiing related, the day to day weather is pretty crappy for the most part. Speaking of kids skiing--was thinking of asking you, or @mreaves, @borderwx (I think VT natives?) or anyone else really, is it normal for most schools in VT to give half days during the winter months 1 day a week to go skiing? Its cool that they do that around here for grades K-12, nice for kids to be able to get out there and enjoy what the local geography has to offer. I was curious how many school districts offered that around VT-guessing mainly ones within a somewhat close proximity to a local hill--no idea.
  19. Growing up in the Mid-Atl, April is probably the only month I would swap vs here in VT. Maybe early May I guess too sometimes. The rest I would take VT over there, and its not really that close honestly comparing month to month for me. Definitely heard some complaining about the wind/cold/snow this morning dropping the kids off. Non Weenies are for sure over it--and we don't even have any snow left on the ground here and had only like half an inch this morning! ha
  20. Meh--I'm submitting this as a 6" depth tomorrow on my cocorahs report. Slant-depth.
  21. CoCoRaHS seems to be Ok with either method. You can do new snow at the end of the event or do 6 hour clears. I'm not sure how many are actually doing 6 hours vs "new snowfall"--I would think most are doing new snowfall and not clearing. Below is from their site: One of the difficulties with accurate and consistent snowfall measurement is related to the melting, settling, or evaporation of snow before you have a chance to measure it (especially in the Fall and Spring). Please try to do a measurement as close in time to when the storm ends as possible. Don't wait until 7AM if the snow ended the previous day. During long-duration snowfalls, you may choose to measure and clear the snowboard every six hours. The total snowfall would then be the summation of the different measurements.
  22. ALY always uses Mitch's reported totals in their PNS, I guess they would toss them if they knew he was doing clears that frequent. I think I mentioned this once before, but ALY had a cocorahs event in the fall and the METS encouraged 6 hour clears to the cocorahs observers-not saying its right or wrong, but it is what they said that day. I also do 6 hours--sometimes. Like Jspin mentioned, can be a number of factors in not doing it that often. I only did one clear for this last event and it probably lasted 24 hours.
  23. Absolute valley screw job below 1000ft. Maybe .5-1" max at 1k or lower. Thought some upslope would kick in over night even for valley floor, thinks temps were like 33-34F when best returns were overhead below 1k, also flow was little too blocked I guess and also best returns looked down in taconics in WMA/ENY and Rensselear Plateau in ENY. Every model had at least 4-6" at even the lowest elevations. 5.7" final here at my place. Never seen such a dramatic difference in just 100-200ft of elevation, at least here in the valley. 1100-1150ft 900-950ft
  24. There was a few of these elevation storms in NOV too. I have about the same as you at 1100ft in Manchester--3"(2.8" actually)--but yea in town around 750ft it was actually raining most of the morning, then just white rain rest of the day. Curios to see how much uplsope makes it over to you in Jamaica when that kicks in--ALY mentioned a somewhat blocked flow.
