A fun site for topo geeks. https://en-us.topographic-map.com/maps/e8/Connecticut/

Warnings up for Berks and Worcester Hills.

Rookie question, I remember a topic on here at times has been the best is 30-50 miles N/NW of modeled. Still apply? I was surprised to see the Burlington NWS forecast for southern VT being higher than most models. Would feed into that idea.

colder =/= jack

Looks like the HRRR trending colder for central CT and up the valley.

But ma sun angle! All seriousness I absolutely agree with this. I wouldn't be surprised to see Norfolk,CT report 8-10" and Massif north to the Hub doing 6-8".

And for once it looks the most logical by typical systems.

Nice fat flakes falling.

A great site for firewood geeks. https://firewoodhoardersclub.com/forums/resources/firewood-btu-drying-chart.15/ For heat output and seasoning times nothing compares to ash or birch imo. Easy maul splitting as well.

I would take that over trying to split steel wool AKA elm.

Time to throw a buzzbait or Whopper Plopper and piss them off into biting.

The Scotts Starter with Weed Prevent is working wonders. All the crab grass and dandelions are coming up white and dead. Even turning the clover and chickweed yellow so I'm assuming it will be dead soon. Going to over seed again in a couple weeks when soil is more consistently in the upper 50/low 60 range. Still a rookie but the more and more I read the more and more I realize the issues with Scotts grass seeds. 50% seed and 50% coating. Trying some Jonathan Green with a similar fescue/rye/bluegrass blend.

Any good gusts down there? Only 20-25mph gusts here thus far.

Definitely going to have to put more seed down towards the end of the month with more starter/weed prevent. Also going with a clover lawn infront of the wall where the small pines are and the upper right corner near the road. Next project will be all crushed stone on the far side of the driveway for my other parking spot and around our raised veggie beds (not pictured). March was all about grub-ex and moss control (raked a lot of dead grubs and moss out) then aerated and two apps of fert given how poor and compacted the soil was.

As much as it is a beautiful sight on radar I hope folks get power back ASAP. Those more rural areas could be out a while.

47*, .13" so far. Want some howlers later. Bring em down!

I did. It is not a broad spectrum pre-m though so it depends on the types of weeds you have.

Depends on how thick/thin the lawn is imo. Fertilizing in spring also encourages weed growth so given how thin my lawn is I also went with Scotts Starter w/ Weed Preventer. Has a pre-emergent that also allows new grass seed to grow. If it is well established I would throw down a fertilizer but make sure it doesn't have a pre-emergent in it.

Slow and steady. When we bought it to so far this year. Overseeded the thin spots and hoping they fill in a bit.

No real cold weather coming in. Check your soil temps. I like low 50s, just takes longer to germinate. I'd rather go early and have less germination but lasting than later in spring and have it all burn up in July.

Already did a moss treatment and overseeded a ton yesterday. I'm actually surprised with how much I'm starting with this spring and how green it is.

We remember lol

Radar is looking mixy up the river valley. A few hundred feet might be a difference maker.

2" down. Saggy trees
