Great Snow 1717

That has become more common.

Last year I mowed for the last time in mid November. The grass is growing faster this year than last year at this time. He's going to return to find the lawn needs mowing.

Same pace as late August/ early September.

Mowed yesterday in Methuen. The lawn is still growing at a rapid pace for this time of the year.

...should not come to as a surprise to anyone...

another gem from JB Over a year ago I advised a client of mine at the time to purchase less air conditioners than for 2010 because the summer of 2011 would be cooler than the summer of 2010. Now there is talk that this is going to turn out like last summer, but assuming it won’t, the forecast was made. BEFORE LAST SUMMER. The client had to put in their order for air conditioners a year beforehand because they were ordering them FROM CHINA. Hot Summer of 2011 Rewrites Record Books | Climate Central

ROFL!!!....great post!!

Talk about being wrong lol Joe Bastardi goes into the forecast at his European website here. Here are some things he says: And Joe adds:

Smart man!!!

I've ordered a couple of these for the upcoming winter

You have a million times better chance of Brady leading the Pats to the SB title this season than that happening.

Agree. I wouldn't even consider using 76-77 because of climate change. Even 95-96 is 25 years ago.

Great piece!!...is that a magnavox?

I think the mosquitos have organized attack squadrons this year ....it's been bad....so bad that I have to protect myself while mowing the lawn...

Essentially Hernandez placed the ball on a T for Stanton to hit...

The only thing further away from New England is going to be the ball that stanton hit....

Everyone points to 14-15 but that was an quite the outlier for snow in a relatively short period of time. George thinks SNE has moved to the lake effect snow zone....

Thanks, based on your estimates for Boston and the Berkshires I think it is safe for me to assume around 200 inches for the Merrimack valley area ..just curious are you related to JB????....

Seems very generic.....

Just so I can properly prepare are you going under or over 300 inches of snow??...

Please provide some examples.

You're welcome. There are numerous videos on Youtube that will help you. One other thing if there is a small amount of wood rot in the area the area can be repaired by using Bondo Rotted Wood Restorer and Bondo Wood filler. Works great and is easy to do.

All it takes is a narrow space for bees to enter. Do you know anyone who does vinyl siding? If you do contact the person and have the siding removed in that area. It is not difficult to do. In the picture I noticed the wires around the door and what appears to be a gap along the metal above the door. And it appears there is an awning. Several years ago a friend had an issue with bees getting into his home. He found that the bees were entering in a tiny space in one of the support poles for the awning. The bees would travel the length of the support pole and then enter the home. Try setting up a video camera in the area if you are unable to figure out where the bees are entering the home. Edit: I forgot to mention that Home Depot, Lowes, and Amazon sell vinyl siding repairs kits. They work well to repair holes in siding. And Home Depot and Lowes will color match the siding for touch up paint

For several years I have noticed the same type of yellow jackets in my yard. They are very docile. I've never been bothered by them. They just go about their business in a quiet manner. Is your home vinyl sided? If it is the bees are possibly finding their way under the vinyl siding and then emerging along the door. Another possibility is the bees are entering in the same area that wires enter your home. Check those areas carefully for any signs of tiny holes. Great Stuff works great to fill holes/gaps. Bondo Wood Filler also works great.
