Radar is a lot more bark than bite.

0.04" here, enough to wet the ground.  Looking at the PWS around NY/New England, so far it's 0.0-0.10" for most, largely under 0.05" despite a green radar.

The stuff in E.NY is starting to add a slight bit of water but the first half of radar echoes with this line looks like mostly virga.

Yeah just sprinkles here. Not complaining. The drier the better.

No idea, but it's the same price as Feb when my furnace shit the bed and I was getting oil for $3.30/gal.

That's great I would lock in. If one source of fuel is way cheaper than another it doesn't take long for water to find its level.

Maple, Ash and Oak with some Black Locust mixed in.  He cut and split it in April so I'm hoping it's good to go by Thanksgiving.  I still have a little under a cord left over from last season.

Should be good with the Maple and Ash. If the black locust is from mature trees you also might be okay. The oak will likely take all the BTUs just to burn it.

My local Agway currently has hardwood in pallets for $6.10/bag and softwood in pallets for $6.30/bag.

How does that compare to last year?

Yeah, I know him through a friend.  It's been down for a while but just recently cut and split.   Last year it was ready to burn by October. 

Doesn't matter if it's been down. Doesn't start drying until you cut  and split. What kind of wood?

I'm getting 2 cords of semi-seasoned delivered Thursday for $450 cash total.

Do you know the dealer? Semi seasoned usually means green.

My pellets remained the same price March through May while oil shot up. Not sure what they're going for now.

You might want to check.

A cord of wood is equivalent to 150 to 170 gallons of oil. If you can get firewood now at say $300 a cord you could save yourself $700 over a 150 gallons of fuel oil.

Sticking with my pellet stove. I may get a small electric heater for the basement to take the edge off down there.

Have pellets gone up?

Curious as to if anyone has given thought to heating their home next winter? Natural gas prices have already doubled this year and home heating oil  is sitting at six bucks a gallon.

They are regular sparrows. 

Don't think it's cats. Don't see any cats roaming around. One thought is there is a nest which isn't terribly high up off the ground (7-8 feet at most) and some animal is getting into the nest. But the dead birds for the most part have been well away from the nest. 

Predation by domestic cats is the number-one direct, human-caused threat to birds in the United States and Canada. In the United States alone, outdoor cats kill approximately 2.4 billion birds every year.

Has anyone been noticing dead birds in their yards recently? I know there was the issue last year with birds, but I just found another dead bird in my girlfriend's yard and this is the 6th or 7th dead bird over the past 6 weeks. They have been a mixture of babies and non-babies and some have even been missing heads. Not sure if some animal is getting them or not but it's a bit concerning. My girlfriend said she noticed 3 last year too. She does have a dog but we know it's not the dog b/c we watch him outside. I just called animal control and left a message. 

Probably cats

I’m loving these low dew warm days with cool nights that have dominated the past several weeks though. Keep that coming. I’ll take a hot stretch in July to do some beach stuff with the fam but other than that, I have no use for SA infested cloudy weekday mornings with torrential downpours in the evening. 
 

Serious question, not a troll , this has to be one of the nicest springs we've had in a long long time?

it’s summer. People can go to Labrador if they want cool weather. 

And it's absolutely perfect June weather for the Northeast. People want a hot move to Florida .

I had to remove a dead snapping turtle at work last that was hit by a car. The thing was MASSIVE. Biggest one I’ve ever seen by far. Had to have been 40+ pounds 

I moved two off the road this week. Thankfully still alive.
