Beautiful bird. I feel like there’s been a lot of leucistic sitings of various bird species lately.

Or he could’ve driven a little east a few weeks ago

Nam would be a lot of 50-60+.

I don’t think so. NOHRSC barely has anything over the border. He must have a fairly shaded sheltered spot.

Snowpack starts getting weird this time of year depending on shading and angle to the sun.

I just said I’m not calling you a liar. Are you tucked into the river valley?

I just mean I was higher than you, cooler than you during the warmup, and we ended up tied at 8” the other day. Not calling you out. Just surprised I was losing snow faster than you.

I’m trying to figure out how Ray had the same amount of pack as me before last night.

Keep on blockin I ain’t shovelin

Hopefully a Bruce Armstrong block and not a Will Campbell

Finally. Let’s freshet.

Sure. 2023 sucked. Anytime you’re wiping out entire apple crops that’s a brutal late freeze. But I don’t recall many issues in previous years. The problem with peaches is a lot of the varieties you get in stores aren’t late blooming or cold hardy enough. So either the buds get fried from -15F in winter or they bloom too early and the flowers die in the spring. 3 of my 4 peach trees are on the late end of bloom timing and the other is more mid…Contender, Intrepid, Challenger, and Redhaven. Stone fruit in general are a PITA to grow.

It’s been all locked up in the pack for months too…so deeper soil has been drying out and is ready to quickly absorb what we have back in. Once everything starts greening up it’s going to get sucked up quickly

8”ish

I will say there’s a lot of fruit growers well SW of here that have flowers in bloom that are going to lose most of their crops…especially peaches. I suppose that’s one benefit up here of tempering all of the warm airmasses until May. The long pack and mud season keeps the soils cooler and trees dormant too.

Oh ok…thought that was through tomorrow. Only expecting 1-2” here.

What is that? I’ll take the under.

Dry af up here. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but hopefully we get drenched this spring. This little bit of water from snow melt won’t last long.
