#NoPoles

A few days ago in one of the other threads, i saw some of our mets posting about an north east turn and Dorian was not going to hit FL. I can't remember who all was posting that, but i do remember DIT chiming in and saying no turn, Dorian is heading straight for FL. Interesting now to see the newest model runs hinting at that recurve...we shall see

The only way this conversation could have been more enjoyable...that it takes place live, in one night, at a g2g, while model watching an impending storm, with hot wings, and ginxy getting us free cake

Any foliage pics yet? I know the bright green chloroplasts are fading...

Some friends hiked up Katahdin this weekened said they experienced sleet. Brace yourselves weenies- Winter is Coming

Reaching the point of no return in regards to Saddleback. Another wasted warm season means another winter of staying shuttered

August is the month that @powderfreak will post pictures of the waning green foliage and the first splashes of real color. Can't wait!

I need one of these in my life, ASAP!

I am so fascinated by the many different climate zones just in the US. Yall are having 30s and 40s for lows in July. Down here it has just been a huge stretch of daily heat indices 105-111, and no wind. The daily average for wind lately has been 5mph. It is unreal. Lows dont drop bloelow the 70s, and it is so sticky that with the AC constantly running, I cant see out my apartment windows in the morning from the condensation. You would almost think I'm in another country.

If you Insta, follow the american chestnut project

I need to follow this account. Was it tamarack who said 1 in every 4 trees used to be a chestnut? That statistic is correct. Our forests used to be drastically different. Southern New England used to be oak chestnut dominant...i wish i had a time machine to go back and see how the forests originally looked

The really sad thing ive noticed down here is there are still chestnuts trying to grow. Most of them gave up the ghost long ago in New England. They seem to get in 2-4 years of growth down here before the blithe takes over. So sad, such gorgeous trees that got wiped out

when i first gathered them they were all green

Hey all, i found your dews and your summer...come to Nashville

Ok, I'm pretty sure the HHH of TN is going to kill me. All my life I have lived in places that have wind. I lived in the intermountain west/great basin/colorado plateau areas, and even the mojave desert for a time. So much wind! And of course living in plymouth near the water the wind was constant. I remember thinking to myself on many occasions, can it just stop being fooking windy, for once??? And then I moved to Nashville, and the heat indices are 95-100 everyday...and are going higher, along with the dew points, and there is NO WIND here. It is just stifling and hard to breathe. Standing still causes a plethora of boob and buttcrack sweat...and now I keep asking the universe ever day for some fooking wind...

Oh god, Im going to DIE in Nashville

Omg, Bamboo is a disaster. Invasive species. It is easier to control in climates where the soil freezes for a certain period of time over the winter. But, borrowing from Jurassic Park, Life Finds A Way! My boss wants to plant some in the park here in Nashville. Oddly enough, the park was built on land owned by the Gordon Jewish Community Center. The Holocaust Memorial is maybe 20ft away from the park boundary. I am shocked this was approved as OK. So now the powers that be want to put up a vegetation wall...and they have settled on Bamboo...this is going to be interesting!

I was on the mix side of the storm. Kingston had a 12.5 inches. I got about 4 inches of everything. Trying to get it off my driveway, i thought I might die. And that plow pile, for the love of god, it was the size of a 12 inch storm...i am def going to feel this in a few hrs

That is literally sitting right on my house

That is absolutely obscene. Is he wearing pants?

Jeezus, at least 14 dead in the tornado outbreak at the southern end of this system

light snow at 9pm

Scott in Weymouth has stated he wont stay all snow, you are further north than me, ive got a southerly wind component. I can see plymouth out theough the cape is rain...

Sorry James, this one is not for us.

37 degrees near the kingston/plymouth line. Sitting in my car in wallyworld. Me thinks i need to ask my doctor for a stronger dose of thyroid meds...im too cold to get out of my car.

Im gonna say I must have gotten almost as much as Scott. I actually started as rain. Lots of water content. I must have not paid attention very well because for some reason i thought it would be a drier snow. I hovered around 32-34 all day. My south facing driveway, FTMFW!!! The plow pile sucked. It was a sponge that absorbed all the water from the snow melt running down the side of the road
