#metoo?

Violently agree

Is your wife okay with it?

Think about the time spent having to clean it afterwards.

How deep is your well? I don't use anything chemical, but I personally wouldn't take the chance. I'm not sure what studies show or what the recommended advice is. My well isn't that deep and I'm on a hillside so I'm a bit susceptible to what people up the hill on my side of the street do too. Given it's redneckville a few houses up I think most of the drainage down my hill has a bigger risk of contamination from rusted out garbage in the yard rather than lawn fertilizers. lol

I’m dumbfounded. I can’t believe he actually did it. It’s such a shame he messed up a huge chunk of the tail end of his career. Best ever.

He's going to do it.

I like my mulch with no dyes personally...considering another chip drop, but 10-20 yards may be a little much for me.

Anyone ever garden with those large grow bags? I’m going to try a few this year for better aeration and root pruning.

Still have patches of snow and standing water. Parts of the lawn subsurface are still frozen. Despite that there’s some green blades coming up along the west side of the house. Soil temp is up to 34° so the full thaw is on today with 70° later.

Yup...as does UNH for the NH peeps.

Look at that Davis in the shrub soaking in all of that transpiration. Fake dews?

Massabesic Lake COOP in Rockingham county had a low of -43°.

I hit a roadblock at state selection just now. Maybe they’re having temporary issues.

Have you tried here for hourlies? https://www7.ncdc.noaa.gov/CDO/cdoselect.cmd

The -39F was on 2/16 along with the CON record of -37F. Maybe you just had a typo though.

Old scale

I put in a request for data from Limestone (and some other sites) and had no luck with beating the -52F or -54F. If you want to look at the data for the fun of it (while it's temporarily still available) here are the links.

For Maine...I know FVE had at least a -54F on 1/14/2004.

Yeah...before automation you had mainly hourly obs. MWN had all analog recording instruments and a thorough climate record so they had all of the paper charts of instantaneous obs saved. The 1-min ASOS data archive goes back to the early 2000s so if there’s a record wind chill since then you could look up those and find the precise coldest minute. You’re pretty much stuck with the hourlies before then.

The -107°F came from an observer so I presume it was an in-between hour reading considering the -44°F temp was in-between as well.

Maybe not. I just figured it was close to the record with that stretch given the -45F min and the 100mph winds.

Found an article from WMUR interviewing someone from the Mt Washington observatory and apparently the wind chill reach -107F during that Jan 2004 cold shot while the temp was -44F. And yeah, that Whiteface -114F isn't accurate. To beat those MWN numbers you need to do it with colder temps. At a certain point stronger and stronger wind magnitude only creates a negligibly lower wind chill.

You’re not kidding.
