dendrite

What did you graft? I know you were trying plum before That’s a good initial sign, but there’s stored energy in the scions to initially push growth out the buds. You want to see an inch or two of growth before knowing for sure that the graft took.

Nice last hurrah on this back edge. Big dendritic growth melting on contact. 34° Starting to see the disc of the sun on the western horizon and the wind is picking up.

More snow than he sees all next season?

He inside enjoying all of us suffering

It’s snowing

It’s always Christmas there.

Just imagine next winter if we super nino. We will be sharing baking recipes.

Mitch is already 33°

44° +RAGS Just had some small hail. What a day.

Wait until April 2027 for conceiving. Next winter is shot.

You’ll get some rain…probably 1/4” type amounts for most.

3k tried to spin something up too albeit weaker

Pretty smart of him to plan his baby in mid-winter. The model graphics at home are better than in the cruiser.

Getting them in before ineedsnow gets his 36° flurries later

Didn’t know you were so woke

11w/m^2 at 830am. I’m surprised the IR hasn’t kicked on for my outdoor cameras.

42.8° with showers

the leaves already have that leathery look here

That middle pic is enough proof that he’s the father.

Time for me to toss some of this in the field

64.0° and full sun. What a day.

There's deeper low level moisture up here...not much dry air to mix down and dissipate the stratus.

I think there’s better mixing over the land which is helping to dry out the low levels and limit the easterly mank trying to advect in. That’s why you have the cloud line straddling the NJ shore too. But basically there’s enough land that makes up Long Island that the further west you get the more you’re able to take a bite out of that stratus.

Yup…sweet clearing behind this band of clouds coming in from the east. Even in the middle of it there’s breaks.

Yeah…sorta what I thought. I’ve seen this on social media quite a bit and how they try to “forecast” the migration (millions of birds per night) using what appears to be the ducting rings of clutter. It all seemed like voodoo to me. It’s like they’re using some kind of forecast prog algorithms to predict nightly inversions and say those areas have the highest migration rates. The real bird sigs are more random. It seems like something was lost in translation between the met/radar experts and the bird scientists/programmers.
