Kitzbuhel Craver

Can’t recall a storm in the recent past(and we have had some high wind events) where Eversource called ahead and said expect to lose power and potentially for multiple days. This blows. No pun intended, lol.

Uber blocky patterns do funky things that don’t always work out in our favor...

Lol, we all know... it’s gonna rain.

Yes, a place where pack a fetish is born...

This was a nice little event...

Coming down quite nicely, everything freshened up. One of the best pre holiday patterns in quite some time. Grinch be dammed.

Just puking out there.

Flipped to some mod/heavy snow. Hope it holds...

Ugh, Wolfie... one town away, help a brother out!

Keeps flipping back and forth, no semblance of accumulation or consistency

Dude, bullseye. Congrats...

Hope that nammy comes to fruition, however A bit worried for my local. Not a single flake as of yet.

Last couple HRRR runs have been quite paltry for the CT crew.

Pure liquid snow. 39 degrees Meriden, CT

Is a storm “creating its own cold” part of the fraud 5?, lol...

Don’t mean to be redundant but, quite warm out there at the moment... We need to rip a chunk out of the stratosphere for this to work out like some think.

Hi folks... tough, tough, forecast. Hoping for some accumulation, but hanging on by one singular pube. Might I go out and mow my grass down to the dirt ala ‘berg to realize fully the potential of this event in south central CT? Hold my beer...”honey just stepping out to grab some gas for the lawn mower”

Yup. This train leaves at 4:00am sharp tomorrow morn to Jay for what should be THE pow day of the season thus far.

Me thinks Jay Peak is gonna clean up. 2ft incoming. Gas up the Winny, I’m there.

Here comes the pull...

I’ve worked turf at all levels, from elite country clubs to Municipal tracks and the struggle does not discriminate. Like you eluded to earlier, we aren’t in SC and the seasonality of the sport in New England makes it even tougher.

Yeah, this is a misconception. After the Tiger Boom, the golf industry as a whole has taken a hit. Not as much interest in the sport overall has led to dwindling profit margins.

Product of the entire industry, courses closing more and more.

33 degree misery mist. Yesssssss!!!!!

You’d be surprised. I’ve been working golf courses for the last 20 yrs during the educational off season. During a wet winter/early spring, the roots of the turf remain quite shallow and become “comfortable”. If you get a torched period in late April/early May when the turf is trying to establish itself you’ll end up with cooked turf that struggles to recover, if at all. When it’s a relatively dry ,not drought conditions, but not overly wet, the root system diggs deeper to go find the water. This results in a healthier, drought & disease resistant turf when the heat and stronger sun comes.
