I'll take two Barn-crushers to-go with a side of sleet! My guess is that this is going to spread out, and be warmer with less intense precipation than currently modeled on the GFS. Hard to get something going with the PV flowing so vigorously.
Praying for a dry week this week. My dad and I tore our roof off... we found a bunch of rot in the deck that had to be patched. We weren't able to get it all finished and tar papered before we ran out of daylight yesterday. Hopefully we can get the patching done tonight and get the tar paper on tomorrow.
DT says "winter come hinter" and looks to be highly favorable pattern developing especially considering the deep trough and strong jets developing through the country. Anybody following JB and LC these days?
Ive seen annual blue grass sold before for emgerency repairs-- It has a tendency to leave bare spots the following year. Annual ryegrass is a superior choice for its durability and drought resistance but does not germinate as readily or as hardily as annual bluegrass. Rye has a better appearance too. Some golf course such as Chambers Bay in WA use annual blue grass in their greens.
You can always try overseeding with annual blue grass (fastest to germinate and won't come back next year) and watering with a sprinkler. It will perk back up in no time
seems like an early spring. The most epic early spring I remember was 2012. I was a senior in HS and I remember the trees being leafed out by St. Patty's day
Coverage at the mountain is starting to get very thin. We were skiing through puddles yesterday 4" might save the last two weekends for the season. If we can get down to 23F on Saturday Night, that would be perfect.
A strong, consistent, early spring wind from the east normally casues an a bummer crop for maple syrup farmers. Especially, following prolonged and consistent cold.
That was a bad storm, its the only ice storm I remember really packing the heat around here. There was one when I was up in Vermont but it was nothing for them to handle.
Why do we have to go through this crap every few years. If we want to merge, our membership will get in touch with site leadership instead of having it imposed upon us by out-of-towners!
