Anyone else realize there are no acorns to speak of this fall?

polar opposite here. I filled a 17 cf cart with acorns a month ago. That was from 1 tree.

Just Horrible.  And WHY has no one talked about that this hit the Isle de Providencia at Category 5 Strength?  98% of the buildings there are heavily damaged!

How well did they do with last year's prediction? Just curious

don’t really care to read an NYC forecast seeing as I live in New England and am posting in a New England thread

How did the 2011/2012 winter unfold for NNE?

2011-2012 was pretty poor at our site with only 115.3” of snow, which is 1.1 S.D. below the mean.  That puts it near the bottom 10% of seasons with respect to snowfall.

what J spin is trying to say is that it sucked donkey nuggets.

Our solutions are obviously snow or no snow, but the ensembles definitely seemed to be splitting into two camps of goose eggs and minor accumulations. Some triple bunners, but we toss those for now. 

Ensemble sensitivity had most of the variance tied to amplification of the system. So more amped may bring more QPF, but also more warm air. Flatter could also whiff completely (more so up this way). Gotta thread it, but cautiously optimistic right now.

great explanation of this on FB this morning BTW

I am a fairly infrequent skier, but based on all the above discussion, I’ll be staying out of VT this year. I don’t go there very often anyway, so it’s no loss for them. but the restrictions are just getting silly. NH is wide open, and has been very busy all summer. the traffic heading up I93 on fridays has been just as busy as any other year.

Uh- oh. Hope everyone is prepping for rat  of rats 

 

I don’t get what that Phil guy is saying. the reddish brown color says below normal snowfall according to the map legend. below normal does not equal bare ground.

stein lives on. 0.8” to finish September, 0.15” to start October.

you can’t tell me it’s not still dry and steiny. we have a long way to go to turn that drought around.

0.04” of rain and a couple gusts. woopidty f-in doo

They're probably just trying to dust bathe? Mine love going for the mulch. Hopefully you'll just talk to your neighbors about it first? lol

yeah that would be the best course of action, especially considering the fact that he is a state trooper lol

Brian just smashed his lap top.

at least I’m going small caliber. not sure shooting the 9mm S&W would be a good idea in the hood, although it would quickly solve the problem.

A few plants and trees may very well be after all said and done.  Whopping 0.74" of rain MTD.

you’ve got 2x more than me, I’m sitting at 0.37” MTD

birches are dropping leaves like crazy. the maples that started to turn 10 days ago have come and gone, and are now mostly bare. the wind and rain this week is going seriously shorten leaf peeping season

thanks guys. it’s def not chipmunks, they are way too small to do this kind of damage. squirrels are a possibility but I kind of doubt it. I have seen some groundhogs in the area, could be that. size seems about right

what critter would have dug up 2 of my mulch beds? holes were too big to be a skunk, as I’ve only seen them dig smaller holes in the grass. the holes were ~6” deep, right through the mulch into the dirt, throwing the mulch everywhere. Dug right under some of the bushes. would a bear have done that?

Kraft even threatened to move the team to St Louis...those were some tough years

No. Orthwein threatened the St Louis move, which is why Kraft bought the team. Then a few years later Kraft threatened to move them to Hartford in order to get a new stadium built.
