In case the smoke wasn't thick enough by itself, the white pines decided this was the day to unleash the pollen clouds. Just ridiculous looking outside.

Boy does it look awful outside... so brown and smokey.

Why is there such a dramatic difference in rain intensity between the GYX and BOX radars for this area?

we're going to get hit good and hard tomorrow

Enjoyed 4 nice downpours today to help keep the moss nourished. I'll start planting tomorrow, by far the latest I've ever started planting. I'm usually done by now. Really feels like the arrival of stable planting weather has been getting later and later, despite how much warmer the climate has become. Too many ticks. The bottom 30 feet of nearly every beech tree on my property has some sort of disease causing the leaves to die off.

That random strike just now may have given me a concussion. Nice.

I really can't believe that thing hasn't been struck yet. Probably should have read the thread before posting. I want a wedge for every storm now. Good stuff.

4.17"/hr rain rate, .58" total. Not sure if these are positive strikes or what, but the last 4 lightning strikes shook my house far harder than last years earthquake. Just massive deep long booms.

This gets more nuts the more I watch it.

Bear could not defeat my military grade bird feeder, so he took it with him along with all the hooks and accessories he'll need to hang it in his den.

Saw a nice lightning strike on the way home from Shaws. Checked radar when I got home and that did a truly exceptional job of pissing me off.

Peepers peeping for the first time. Extremely late this year. Even the white throated sparrows started singing before them.

Pure lame sleet. 29.3 and slowly dropping

5-6” Was not expecting the second biggest storm of the year.

oh the humanity

Great wind. My anemometer definitely seemed to be undermeasuring all day, but then it recorded one single rogue gust to 52 so idk.

Epic squall. Sky got dark and ominous and the wind roaring was great. Good stuff.

Indoor humidity reached 6% this morning. A few days ago I went to pick up my laptop and got a static shock so brutal that it actually killed it. Screen went black and it no longer turns on.

-6.5 last night Bluebirds are fluffed up.

Unanticipated heavy snow.

Indeed. 17k btu propane heater + 2kw of electric heat and circulation fans/accessories. I did spend a LOT of time insulating things and plugging air leaks. Had the propane tanks filled in October and it looks like they will last until the first week of Feb, which is actually a lot longer than I expected. I prefer to brutalize the Chris Stapleton fans. Every time he comes to Meadowbrook for 3 nights I know I'll be flying first class when summer ends. You can charge them literally anything. I need to drive a salt truck down the channel and get things opened back up Reported.

-.3 This is the first year I’ve ever kept my greenhouse running all winter and I have regrets.

I'm here to report that I've acquired a growing flock of bluebirds over the last few days. Now up to 8 birds. Kinda cool to watch them raid the feeders which are in the shade, then fly up to the trees and all sit with their backs facing the sun to warm up. -12.9 last night No warming help from the lake. The lake is very low and the Lakeport dam is discharging (leaking) the minimum possible amount of water, so the entire channel has been frozen for a quite a while now. Even solid ice under the bridge, which I don't think has ever happened before.

Wow, a steamy 17.6 here
