  1. Oh that is funny. I'm actually not on there. I was just digging through some historical ones my dad mentioned yesterday he was around for in western CT/MA and found that one interesting. He always mentions it when we are heading west on the Pike to Lake George and you can still see the remnants of the old truck stop. Read a few news paper articles on it and everyone always mentions how "the sky turned green" that afternoon.
  2. But the lines look similar, let's just run with it and post it on the Twitter to cause panic! LOL
  3. Way too late. Still think someone pulls a TOR warning in Mass.
  4. Someone is going to see a funnel in northern CT/western MA tomorrow.
  5. 34 at 6am, 73.8 now. Nice 40 degree swing. Great day to be out.
  6. Was thinking similar, overdone. Random obs, it also put dewpoints 65-70 around Springfield/Hippy Valley.
  7. It was formally known as Cold Spring until a politician with an ego came in. I don't mind the zip code though, 01007.
  8. You're new home is also great for severe. We have been rocked the past couple summers.
  9. Welcome to Belcher-tucky! And yes you will, especially if you're closer to the Quabbin Hills or around rt 21. The difference can be amazing. Can't tell you how many times driving home from ZooMass where it is raining and we have snow. For example, the early December storm last year when Amherst got 14" over two days we got an extra foot plus (17" came the second night when Amherst got 5-6"). I almost shat myself when I woke up that second morning and turned on the porch light.
  10. Pretty awesome tool... https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/pestoutlooks.aspx
  11. 28.1* this morning. Soaked the lawn from 9:30-10pm and 12-12:30am to try to stave off the frost and avoid damaging all the new seedlings. They don't look to be effected. Happy a weedy area I planned to take out and overseed got crushed.
  12. Last year was pretty amazing for levels, could drive the boat just about anywhere without concern. Water was as high as the horseshoe damns at Gate 31 and 43.
  13. Sun coming out, this will help get things going.
  14. Seriously, 61* at 11am and 49* now. Starting to brighten up though even with the showers. Radar should pop in the next hour or so.
  15. Was thinking the same but we are right on track.
  16. Weird, not showing up on the thread page for me.
  17. Waiting on a @weatherwiz severe thread for tomorrow like...
  18. Going to be funny when I put 2500' of tarps from my firewood piles over my new lawn to try to save it.
  19. I only covered with peat moss in the bare/thin spots. For that I would break it down as fine as I could with a shovel/trowel, took about an hour and used 4-5 cubic feet of it. If I was doing the yard over again I'd get one of these which can be rented at most places (just a compost spreader). I used straw in the fall when I started from scratch and never again after using peat moss. No raking out, no worries about bringing weeds into the lawn, and can always tell when I need to water.
  20. The grass loved the temps of the past week. I overseeded with about 6 pounds of Jonathan Green Sun and Shade, covered with peat moss, did a second app of Tenacity last Tuesday/Weds. Have also been have been "spoon feeding" (.25lbs of N and .5 lbs P per 1000 sq. feet) the past few weeks. The lighter colored spots are thinner areas/some Tenacity bleaching. Already have some serious germination happening. Going to wait until most of the lawn is 6" or the seedlings hit 2" (I took it down to 1-1.5" to overseed last week and is still at about 2.5") and hope it overtakes the chickweed and clover. The lawn is ~90% tall fescue so I need to start growing it tall anyway. Plus I'd rather spot seed again than spray Tricyc in a few weeks, especially the edge around the driveway as you can see how thin it is. Also need to edge the Daffodil area to stop that stuff from creeping in. I know milo has iron in it but anyone ever use something like liquid iron? I really want the dark green to come out in the future.
  21. Mom thought it was pretty funny as did the rest of the family. I could not get a picture of me with it for size so had to improvise. She is almost 9 months old for reference and about 18 pounds. Conservative guess was the bass is 8.5-9 lbs. I compared my measurements of it to a friend who just got a certified 9-2 largemouth (his was 22" long and had a girth of 19") and he insists its >10 but I don't think so.
  22. I'm sure I'd be sick of it after a while too. Guess I'm in the dew-closet.
