Yeah you probably won’t miss a flake. That is true. It’s just how we roll

Looks like about to get hopping here in the next few

Had a storm in Winchester earlier that brought heavy rain, gusty winds, small hail, but not a single bolt of lightning. Very weird

If that was in Winchester they’d put up another red light.

Hope you don’t think I’m going all “I know everything about grass” lol, but much of what I’ve read suggests single deep waterings as opposed to frequent shallow waterings. The thought process being if water is always present near the surface the roots have no need to go deep.

Will end up 582

That’s like hoping to see a dinosaur lol.

Make it 54

I’ll second the post from above and say, with 100% certainty that there’s no way this winter will be as bad as last year. The WDI will Trump any other acronyms this go around. The winter doesn’t exactly have to do much to top that fiasco.

I’m gonna day we hit 55 in Winchester tonight

Classic post

I think analog forecasting isn’t all that great. Sure it will work most of the time just like predicting median snowfall will have you looking decent in the end. But I’d venture to say that there’s been more than enough winters that would have gone strongly against whatever analogs that would have been used to predict them. What would the analogs have said heading into 95-96? 14-15? 15-16? Some winters are just simply gonna bust the analogs. Some good. Some bad. And winter can be so tricky with luck and timing. I have no idea what the general patterns and stats look like in retrospect for the winter of 18-19 but the lasting impression of that winter is that it was pretty good. We had enough snow and enough cold that it felt like we had had a winter. And perception is reality regardless of what any final numbers may say.

I think you’ve nailed the problem. It’s that outside box I’m almost certain. My water was getting in behind the cover. If those things aren’t sealed tight to the wall it can get in. And all it takes is one drop. They should be able to fix that pretty easily.

I’ll say this much for that post ... it’s an absolute fact that we don’t see clippers of late. That’s puzzled me for a while. I’ve even made mention of that myself.

Is it a dedicated circuit for only that outlet? I would doubt that it is. If that’s the case, any outlet down the line from it can trip it. I would think that you have an outlet somewhere on that circuit that is getting water in it. I had the same thing happen once and it was because an outdoor outlet on the same circuit was getting water in it when there was heavy rain. Problem for me was that you never knew it was out and my freezer in the garage was in that same circuit.

Be safe man

Pretty sure the house will make it lol. This ain’t the first time it’s ever been humid.

Perhaps the AO summer correlation is as dependable as the SAI is.

Is the GFS gonna be upgraded? If so, when? I hope so because if last winter is an indication it can’t be trusted.

12-13 and 13-14 were cold neutrals or weak Ninas. Not sure if the Nina threshold. Regardless, there are other factors. Last year was almost a carbon copy of the 2014-2015 Enso conditions. Just a little bit different though in the outcome.

I have to chime in here. I think people are so zeroed in on one thing and because they are rational thought is lacking. If you look at CDC stats, in the age group 5-24 which is gonna include almost all students even through college, there were 80 times more deaths from other causes than corona in the time period Feb 1 through August 1. 80 times! So before anyone makes this about keeping kids safe, they might need to consider that there are far bigger hazards to those same kids. If the argument is made that it’s to stop the spread to more vulnerable groups, they need to realize that those groups have bigger concerns also. Even in the age group above 85, they are still 10 times more likely to die from something else. All of this information is available on the CDC website. Funny that we never hear about this though isn’t it. Fact is no one will ever be totally safe. Before or after corona. Life just doesn’t provide you with that type of security. We take precautions of course but what we are seeing here could easily be considered a knee jerk reaction. And the reactions are causing more problems than the event that preceded them. We take precautions all the time, from vehicle safety to food safety to preventative medical procedures. That’s all we can do here. Then we just have to move on with life.

Seconded

Not so sure it is lol

I think you’re a little Tippi

Don’t forget to fertilize it. New seed needs it.
