+1 for this recommendation. And that timeline is right (caveated for the year’s conditions, like you point out). I wouldn’t be surprised if this year runs slightly behind schedule given the 8-14 day outlook continues the AN temps.
Enjoy! Weather station at the house got down to 54 this morning. Currently 68 there. I didn’t realize Meadow Mountain was higher than Wisp and just below the tallest point in the county (which is 3314 feet)…thought it had only topped out at 2900ft. Good to know! First snowfall is isn’t too far away
Nice evening out right now. My tulip poplar tree in the front yard (which is easily 6-7 stories tall) is really shedding leaves now. About 40% of the leaves are yellow.
It would be night/day from last December. I don't think I recorded any snow in McHenry last December which is unheard of. It put the year in such a hole that it was almost impossible to finish normal snowfall.
