A mistake I sometimes see with people putting down grass seed is that they just sprinkle it on top or lightly rake it in. A thin coating of top soil over the grass seed and keeping it moist without letting it dry out goes a long way. Soil temperature really helps too.

My pussy willow tree looks kind of similar to this right now. Past the fuzzy soft stage and not leafed out yet.

Is this the same bamboo that I see down in Maryland? What a disaster down there. When I grew up there was none. Then people started planting it. It spreads like crazy with roots that make it almost impossible to stop. It seems everywhere now. About 10 years ago the neighbors next to my folk's house decided to plant a small amount to camouflage their trash can container. It has spread rapidly covering up about 1/4 of the backyard going now into my folk's property. They have hired professionals to try to irritate them, even brought in a small backhoe but they can't get all the roots and it's out of control. It is now banned in the state. Be careful with this stuff.

Wow on the grass green up. It was totally brown just 2 days ago and now the yard is green. I have never seen it change so fast. These endless hours of high dews and temps are doing their work. Next up is the forest. Still waiting on forsythia or those Norway maples then everything goes all at once.

Snow start time 8pm. 31/16F Tired and heading to bed. Should be about over when I wake up. I'm thinking 3 or 4" Enjoy the storm

Now I can see all the qpf, that is an improvement. .5" line east of Rt 495 and all of RI.

Euro about the same as 0Z at quick look

Monday well south on the new GFS

At 1:/10 ratio you got a 6" plus along Mass Pike and a foot south coast. Even gets snow up to me here in Central NH

18Z GFS moves everything almost 50 miles north. So total qpf is .50 to NH line and over 1" south coast of SNE

Unless I'm reading the recon reports wrong the recon went thru the eye very recently and found 952.5mb.

Mark, can you believe it. Some mood flakes falling right now. 4.5" on the day!

GOES 16 has the center moving NNE at the moment

2.5" never got below 1 mile vis today. Mostly very small flakage. Finally in past 15 minutes a few bonafide medium flakes mixed in. Sky very bright. Peak wind gust 14mph. Town plow still has not bothered to go by. Kids could easily had school. Total disasta...unless something backs in from the east.

1pm. Very light snow and snow grains. Snow started at 8am and after 5 hours 2". Intense band to my east wants to come west but falls apart. Big bust incoming? Starting to look like that.

Watching WMUR news at noon here in NH. Reporting 14 people without power in the state. I thought it might be an error but just checked the Eversource map. 2 customers without power in their service region

27.4F Light snow, light winds. Vis 1.25 miles. Poor snow growth 1.5" new (Been snowing for 4 hours now)

27.5F light snow Vis 1 mile. Wind north 4 gusts to 14mph. Poor snow growth. 1/2" over the past 2 hours.

29f very light snow. Heavy dusting. Expected 2/3 inches by now according to models. Get this stuff north please.

Lots of people saw it all over New England. My neighbor swears it landed just behind his house! He said it went down just behind his trees. Highly doubtful. I told him he should take the day off and go into his woods and find it. A 1 pound meteorite is worth about a million bucks!

Looking at that shot I am trying to figure out the city light sources. To the extreme right must be Berlin. Maybe Littleton on the left? Then on the far horizon that must be Montreal. Years ago I did a winter overnight edu trip at the summit. A noreaster was developing down in the mid-Atlantic and the cirrus shield had made it over SNE. Boston's lights were quite visible reflecting up to the underside of the clouds. Actually, this would be a neat question to the observers. If a cirrus shield was over NYC would they be able to see the cirrus lit that far away. I think it would be possible. For some reason the "how far can you see" question has always interested me. Edit. Maybe the horizon lights are Burlington?

KP index a 5 so I went to the top of the hill for a look. Definite brightening on the north horizon but with the naked eye I could not make out any detail. Need to be able to see to fairly low to the north to notice. Moon rises around 9pm which will probably kill anything after that....

I went up to the top of my hill last night and couldn't see anything. My friend Dave setup at the foot of Newfound Lake and with a time exposure caught them very faintly. Like the ones I briefly saw last week they are usually far on the north horizon. The key lately is you really need to have an unobstructed north view without any city lights in that direction... Here's the pic he posted on his site...

Well for the moment I don't see anything so it was fleeing or maybe it will start back up again but bed time for me.

Yes, the 03 event was like "wow what is going on" . Spectacular. Going to drive up to the hill one more time right now...just to see if its brighter...
