weren’t we told that the first 2 weeks of Oct were to be an inferno? my high temp was 70 yesterday, and today and Sat look to be in the mid-60s. that doesn’t say torch to me.

That third picture is really cool

24" of rain since 7/1. all set

i have noticed the same thing on many trees. seemed unusual that there were apples on trees wtih no leaves

how will I stay safe and enjoy the dews? Monday high 68 (62 as of 1330) Tuesday high 63 Weds high 69 Thurs high 75 Friday high 61 Sat high 63 good thing I didn't uninstall. i can turn on the AC and make it warmer in my house

absolutely. 2" is optimal, but don't cut it too much shorter than you normally cut. i keep mine at 3" during the summer, went down to 2.5" for aerating/overseeding

no, but it looks interesting. i have recently had a bunch of tree work done at my house and neighbors. I have them chip up all the branches and leave a big pile. if you want clean mulch, this is not for you. i use it to fill in low spots on trails in my area. the small sticks and evergreen "shrapnel" that is in the chips breaks down very quickly. in fact, the whole thing breaks down quickly.

i knew Aug was wet, didn't realize just how wet. Mi casa: Jul 4.7 Aug 11.63 Sep 5.0

this is the first time that I have ever heard of the great Lakes modifying air masses anywhere, especially in NE. I could see it on a micro level, kind of like an ocean front, but hundreds of miles away? Let me guess, more hyperbole from DIT, and he will say that he is "trying to drive discussion".

yeah, but there is more snow in Methuen. it's a wash.

lower dews would be spectacular. I went for a walk last night, temp was about 75. Broke a mean sweat, thanks to the farkin’ 68 degrees dew point. I’m ready for some dryer air. Dr DIT Dewpoint down there in CT can have this crap

while I understand your point, I don’t think anyone reads those things, aside from us weenies, and perhaps a government official here or there

Quick, spread some loam and grass seed. that will guarantee epic rains in your hood

I believe Scooter works in the affected area. Hope all is well there

ok that doesn't sound like grub damage. you are right, the turf pretty much disintegrates since the grubs chow the roots. how frequently and how much did you water that area? have you had a lot of rain? it sucks, i remember seeing pics of your lawn looking fantastic.
