Great Snow 1717

The odds of 2015 repeating are very low. That was certainly an hisitoric stretch. I would have to take a look at the 2 volume set of Early American Winters to find comparable stretches of snow accumulation. Certainly 1717 qualifies.

I agree. There might not have been much in the way of snow but it still felt like winter. Winters have changed in SNE and for much of the east coast.

I know many people who haven't even gone up north for skiing so far this winter. Been a tough winter for the ski resorts.

The coast of Lake Champlain???

Well you did come up with 4 names!! lol I'll toss JB and DT. JB is always calling for a pattern change to cold and snowy. If JB had been right even 25 percent of the time the east coast would be covered with a glacier.

Hey Moe Hey Larry, will ya look at the GFS.....why you knucklehead that's the ICON....

Please name 5 of them.

Awesome comedian!! "I spilled spot remover on my dog and now he's gone"

Have you ever worked for The Psychic Friends Network?????

I think things have always been political to some extent but the difference is the political battles on all topics are front and center today.

I recall reading similar articles. I have family and friends who live in Canada. And all agree that the "pond"" and/or home hockey rink season has become shorter. The city of Lawrence for many years flooded the Playstead to make an outdoor ice skating rink. Often times the skating was good from December into March. I do not recall when the city stopped flooding the Playstead BUT it is very unlikely that the ice rink would be around for as long as it was during the 60's and 70's.

The point is climate change is impacting winters as a whole.

Winters as a whole.

The storm tracks during the fall of 19 were similar to the storm tracks for the fall of 18. Storms passing to the west and north. Climate change is impacting the winters in NE. And many of the winter forecasts did not even factor in the record warmth across the northern hemisphere during much of 2019. And many used analog years that are 40-60 years in the past when the climate was different. Eric Fisher wrote a great article on the past decade. It can be found on the WBZ website and on his twitter page.

You are the forum's lump of coal...…...

I think JB had -1 for SNE and above average snowfall for the winter. JB will vote democrat before he puts out a winter forecast calling for above normal temps with below average snowfall

I agree. And likely to impact the upcoming winter.

A couple of friends tried it and they weren't impressed with the product. Regular sod is better.

State wide evacuation order likely...…….

It's because he has a need to be right about everything 100% of the time. Smartest man in the room syndrome. For all we know Alabama trounced some team that he is a fan of.

Perhaps planting a tree(s) in that area to provide shade.

Agree

And it is likely that it doesn't stop the infestation because many if not all insects have become resistant to pesticides. And chinch bugs fall into that category. The overuse of pesticides and other lawn care products have made it increasingly difficult to control insects. When I was a kid, and playing baseball and football ,the fields were all in pretty good shape. No one used lawn care products. The lawn care industry has made billions by convincing home owners that they need the perfect lawn. Do you honestly think the lawn care companies are producing top of the line products?? The answer is no they are not. They are producing products that barely work for the most part because they want home owners to continue to purchase their products in the hope that the lawn will look better. It's all one giant con game.

What is more important to you, your lawn or your health? I would never use products like sevin. There is no upside at all. Why not dig out the area and put fresh top soil down and then reseed?
