snow melt. I'm sure it was minimal on the mtn

Hopefully the cutter doesn’t do too much damage

I'm guessing snowshoeing at Pinkham must be decent.

I know its been along battle, not sure what is going on there. You have some clumping green grass--mostly likely some type of Fescue, but could also be some undesirable grass for a home lawn like Orchard grass, but at least its green.

I just looked again at that pic from May you posted a few pages back, I dont know why it didnt bounce back in the fall? Does it do this every year? When was it seeded?

you're right, the tufts of grass present I believe are orchard grass. They withstand a lot, but this Summer I think the chinch bugs did them in. This happens every year, but no where near this extent and it usually grows back. The damage was so widespread there's nothing left. You can literally just pull out the top layer without any roots left behind. Lat time it was overseeded was 2 or 3yrs ago.

I’ll be honest. I’ve never seen anything like that. Is there rock just underneath? And is it exposed to constant sun? How much dirt is there?

Im not sure how much money you’d want to spend... but I’d almost consider building that up as much as possible. Bring in as much loam as that area can hold without washing....

this area actually has quite a bit of soil/sand as the area directly below my weather station is the septic leach field. Of all places where the grass should grow well, yet it doesn't. I mentioned before about rototilling this mess in Spring and reseeding, but the risk is constant sun and without daily watering for weeks on end, it would probably burn out before it got well established. It would probably be best to wait until Fall, but having to look at this all next Summer is painful.

Please make it snow so I don't have to look at this till Spring. Seriously, this pisses me off since I'm not sure how best to fix it shy of starting over. Got all winter to think about it.

we looking at another repeat wed nite/thurs? Need some snow to cover up the horrible "lawn"

Final tally - 7.1”

 

 

looks nice. can't wait to get up there this weekend.

Temp up to 34f. Waste. Hoping for flakes, I think I'll turn the outdoor flood light off

Whole lotta meh. 0.88".

There is a good 6 to 8 on the Sunday River Cam

Best of two worlds.   Watching Pats and the snow at the same time.   Intensity is decreasing and rain is  mixing back in.   About 1.5" which is now being compacted.  Just enough to cover the ground.  Brings season total to 5.75"

What a soak fest at Gillette

Why is gyx forecasting " an additional 2" sn" for this area? Not getting anything but rn.

Some gusts and decent rn. Coulda been a nice little storm if we had the cold air

Its aloft thats junk.

As they were suppose too.

That radar is not indicative of the ground truth here.

Its up the anty for accumulations here too but i won't believe it until i see it dropping out of the sky.

Temp holding steady, 28.9. IP/RN down in windham. Still SN on the hill

28.9f. flakes

Welp, didn’t expect to wake up to this.
 

18Z Nam. This waffling is baffling

Looking forward to the cold rn with some cat paws mixed in

Maybe scrape an inch out of this

Meanwhile in Fort Kent, deep winter
