ORH 44…meh Looks like mostly 30s and 40s for gusts except higher SE MA. ACK just hit 61.

I don’t mind being a little hot or a little cool at times. I don’t need to live in a 68-72 window or otherwise feel like I’m suffering. But yeah, if I’m overly uncomfortable and the forecast for the day isn’t going to help raise the temp inside, I’m going to turn the stove on for a bit.

Just let the gusts blow them to the woods.

Not much wind here, but we get some occasional gusts…and when we do the oak leaves are pouring. It’s going to be full stick season tomorrow morning.

That’s Sep here. Mid Oct on we’ve been firing up the pellet stove here and there to take the edge off. November the stove is on 90%+ of the time.

Lake Lyster in QB Looks like a nice place to jump from when winter sucks.

51.9° and nearly calm 0.80” through the tipper. Disappointing but not surprised.

It’s 930. Why aren’t you in bed yet?

Back edge is at the VT/NH border

An epic 0.08” here so far

Okay…just saw the wind advisory down there is 24hrs from now which makes more sense.

When? Tomorrow night? The CAA kinda lags during the day.

What elevation are you at up there?

Case studies can tend to have a lot of images to refer to anyway. It doesn’t make sense to me to add the same image twice as different figures. I assume your choice for this study is the point of having two outbreaks at the same time. So it only makes sense to tie each in with the same maps. Otherwise it would feel like 2 different case studies in 1 paper.

If it’s the same image then yeah, I’d just refer back to the same one.

This guy is always a good watch. He’s doing a lot with red fleshed apple breeding.

Early spring can be okay if the tree isn’t waking yet, but scions are usually cut dormant in mid/late winter and stored. Then they’re usually grafted dormant to a rootstock that has the sap just starting to flow. That way you’re getting sap push from the rootstock through the scion as the graft tries to take and callous. You don’t want the scions to blow through their stored energy before the graft takes or they’ll start to dry and die out. If you’re doing chip or T budding it’s a little different and you can do that any time during the warm season or even use semi-green wood with well developed buds and chip bud those in the late summer. That’s where you slice an individual bud off and graft it to the already growing plant stock you want. I haven’t done any chip budding yet, but it’s done often with peach trees. I may attempt a few next year on my guardian peach rootstock I’m growing out with some Contender buds. Most of what I’ve done is with whip & tongue or cleft using whole dormant scion wood. With fruit and nut trees, there’s differing times of the season for grafting certain fruit. Some fruit need warmer temps for the grafts to heal and callous or else they are more likely to fail. Apples and pears are easy peasy and are usually done early…but you can do them must of the warm season. Pawpaws and persimmons are later in spring as temps get more consistently near 80°. Many nut trees are later and can be difficult to get “takes”.

Min 34.2°…back up to 39° with the clouds. Looks like the front has trended wetter. Let’s get everyone an inch.

Hopefully this is 1104hr

Max 52.9° Beautfiul sunny day.

I don’t remember the major location change from in-town to the more elevated airport, but I know it was pre 1940s. 95-96 is when the airport sites converted to ASOS/AWOS. But yeah, most of that time frame is the same location.

@wokeupthisam Here’s a question I always wondered… The Christmas trees are getting cut dormant after Thanksgiving. Can you cut dormant scions from a tree (winter pruning) and bark graft to a cut stump in the spring when the bark starts slipping? Or are the trees functionally dead after cutting and sitting all winter? I’m not familiar enough with firs to know if the sap tries to flow despite being chopped a few months prior. Being able to reuse a mature root system would have the new grafts sizing up quickly.
