    Sounds like you’re jealous bro.

    I think enjoying crusty brown dirty looking snow to be ridiculous and nonsensical. I prefer colors over brown, white and gray. Mid January below. Looks amazing.

    You gotta look at the big picture for the smaller one to become clear.

    arctic is warming faster than here by far. still getting above freezing in barrow alaska.
  5. hardypalmguy
    and then it's gone the next day. fine by me. melt it.

    The average high for MKE doesn't dip much below 32 even in the heart of winter. You have this false misconception that this is a true winter climate. We are borderline at best. Snowmobile trails locally haven't opened in the last three years.

    Seasonable temps are above freezing until end of December. So any slight above plus warm lake influence will be rainers here.

    Depends how well you insulated and how good your windows are. Still have yet to get below 70 without running any heat. Just purrs along 70-74 all day.

    Growing palm trees in Wisconsin is actually pretty easy. I've done it for over a decade. And I had bare ground and green grass for almost the entire winter last year.

    Warm enough to keep it liquid thru December and most of Jan?
  11. hardypalmguy
    Hoping it trends away. I have a full weekend of tropical takedown in front of me yet.
  12. hardypalmguy
    That seems early especially for down there.

    My heat barely runs in January -- think minutes out of each hour.
  14. hardypalmguy
    Right now it's 70 in my house with the heat off. Outside of cooking, running lights, electronics, etc, there's nothing else going on. It was up to 74 yesterday afternoon inside as well when the sun was out. So yeah, if your house is falling into the 50s this year already, there's an issue with your insulation. I have 4 feet in my attic.

    MKE sensor fine too.
  16. hardypalmguy
    Probably one of the newer observers at DTW keeping the sensor in an ice bath. Reads way low lately.
  17. hardypalmguy
    You should probably insulate it better then as mine has yet to fall below 68.
  18. hardypalmguy
    Another interesting stat that shows how fast things are warming up here.
  19. hardypalmguy
    Took this awesome front yard shot just a bit ago. I think it could pass for Tampa area in October — definitely not fall in Wisconsin.

    It’s rare that MKE drops into the 40s in the summer. .
  21. hardypalmguy
    If you live in a cold swamp you’ll get 40s every month due to inversions. I see it on my way to work all summer. Temp crashes in swamps. Not representative of the entire area.

    I had a windmill palm in ground for over 10 years here.
  23. hardypalmguy
    Warming falls are definitely happening.
  24. hardypalmguy
    I have over 30 musa in ground along with one windmill and two needle palms.
  25. hardypalmguy
    Coconut, foxtail, spindle and flamethrower will die below 32 and sulk hard below 45. Windmill can be outside until we are getting super hard freezes. Windmill wouldn’t mind 30s/40s for highs all winter if we could maintain that. Here’s my foxtail. Almost 7 feet tall in pot. Others are about the same. @Chicago Storm
