    Quite impressive...what was your total for the season? I need to move north

    I’ve been a deadbeat over the last year with keeping track of my climo data. I have all of the amounts posted on here, but I have to add it up. The cocorahs guy east of me in town is around 70” I think. He gets a little weenieish so maybe 65”ish? Maybe this weekend I’ll get motivated to do it.

  2. A little too much cold and snow for my liking in the 2nd half, but at least it insulated the soil. The lack of liquid precip was a plus.

    I’ll go C, but it could’ve been higher if we had managed a few warm days in Jan and Feb. It’s been an easy March though…maybe I need to go C+/B-.

     

  3. Yeah we’ll see. It seems we reach a point every spring where the models want to keep digging extreme cold here in the extended, but they eventually realize the season we’re in and they all significantly moderate as we approach go-time. I’m not saying we’re there yet, but it’s in the back of my mind considering the pack reductions we’ll see right up into PQ.

    GFS has it in the 30s here Thursday. Idk, maybe the warm pattern pans out starting Friday but this time of year I'm skeptical. And sorry for not realizing that's a front door setup. I'm dumb. Also, fwiw the GEFS and EPS show a below normal pattern returning D11-15.

    Nah…no one is dumb. It gets a little wedgy Wed/Thu. GFS is probably low 40s down there Thu. EPS doesn’t look too frigid to me. It’ll have to come down at some point…maybe a couple of BN days in there, but it looks AN overall…especially since much of the region will be wiping out pack and SNE will be out of mud season. 
     

    It’s going to be difficult to avoid warmth with this…

  5. It’s a “front” door, but the sfc high stays nosed in for a bit before it’s quickly flushed out late next week. Wednesday will still probably be at or even a hair AN down there. It’s 1-2 days near normal in a regime of well AN. It’s early March…if we’re treating a day in the upper 40s in CT as cold then it’s a warm pattern.

    No big torch however . Scooter's not going to be cutting the lawn in his Speedo.

    Could be near 60° Mon/Tue. Then maybe warmer over the weekend. It’s not 2012, but it’s pretty nice for early March.

  7. For the american chestnut weenies….

     

    There are pure seedlings available from TreePro in IN. I *think* I know of their seed supplier and if I’m correct he’s legit. I ordered 4 more seedlings today. It’s rare to find pure seedlings/seeds available without being on waiting lists.

    They will eventually die, but if you get a few there’s a chance you could get nuts from them one day. Plus they’re simply just a pretty cool tree.

    Pure American chestnut is a keystone species of the Eastern Deciduous Forest that was decimated by the chestnut blight fungus introduced from Asia in 1904. Seed is sourced from grafted pure American chestnut orchards and rare wild survivors from our Indiana chapter of The American Chestnut Foundation (TACF) cooperators. The HTIRC provides material in support of ongoing breeding and research needs first and then excess seed is distributed to the public. Seed for this line is collected only from isolated places without other chestnut species to hybridize with. All of these American chestnuts are highly susceptible to chestnut blight and have no genetic resistance and are best used as seed trees for conservation and wildlife attraction.
