  1. Severe drought conditions causing the leaves to change early. Some yellow and orange starting at the top our oaks.
  2. I'm just about done with trying clover. I truly don't know what it is up with it and I've done almost double the seeding. May 14 - Pretty sandy soil, 2 lbs of seeds, 0 clover. I truly mean not a single one. May 28 - Bring in 2 yards of loam, 2 pounds of seeds, this... Meanwhile...I can't get my lines straight.
  3. Oppressively....crisp. House is at 63 and low 40s outside. Feels like Killington should be blowing the on North Ridge and cider doughnut time in the valley.
  4. Surprised to some small patches of fungus starting this week and even a mushroom. Time to cut to 3" and let it dry out some.
  5. I will admit, drove up to check out a boat in Winchendon this week and there were several towns along Rt. 2 with big signs stating "water restriction in effect."
  6. Opened the slider and damn, 71/70, .39" so far today.
  7. Crispy mornings and warm afternoons, I could do this until October. Nice stretch. When the wind blew yesterday you could actually see the pollen in the air it was so thick, can't say I remember noticing that before.
  8. Atomic or Salomon for sure. I have too much trust in my Markers given a few situations in which I am happy they did or did not release. I have Barons and Dukes but they are just so heavy compared to Atomic or Salomons.
  9. Really amazed with tall fescue's ability to withstand a lack of water (it also got hit with two rounds of Triclopyr to take out clover and chick-weed with no stress). Between rain and the sprinkler it has about 1.5" in the past 5 weeks. I have also been mowing 3.5-4" to help it keep what moisture is in the soil there.
  10. Best ski investment ever. Just wish I got different bindings after trying some other folks' set ups.
  11. Interesting spread. Around town got around 0.30 whereas Amherst and down near the Pike seems to have gotten 2-3x that.
  12. Around North Brookfield looks interesting.
  13. Some roads blocked off in town due to trees down. A couple good wind gusts when it started.
  14. Models might have overdone 3 weeks ago and under this time. Some decent elements to work with, especially eastern CT.
  15. Where is Wiz with a severe thread? Looking decent for CT, RI, and eastern Mass.
  16. Fish are all messed up at the Quabbin. Even with last year's cold spring the spawn was in full effect. Past 2 weeks all males on beds, almost all females are still off shore. Yet to see a pair on a bed even though the water is in the mid-60s. Went deep in 25-45' and got all bigger females. Given the bellies, they are either full of eggs or still early pre-spawn. Never seen anything like it.
  17. It was a cold spring but I'm not sure how it compares to last year when they made it to June 1. I think the lack of traffic on it has more of a role.
  18. 81/68. I'd be surprised if we didn't get a quick downpour later.
  19. HRRR plays the role of FDR and saves the valley with 2-7" of rain the next 36 hours lol
  20. 71/62, make a run at 90? Looks like most of the lower Hippy Valley is low-mid 70s already.
