HoarfrostHubb Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Warm night. Things are finally dried out after all the rains. When we went apple picking the other day (or tried to-apples = disaster), there was some much ponded water. And this place is up on a hill. Never seen that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ware, who noted that ships at that time traversing the Indian Ocean loaded up their cargo the most during the "Indian Summer", or fair weather season. Several ships actually had an "I.S." on their hull at the load level thought safe during the Indian Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take them seriously. That's why we have ensembles. Sometimes they are correct, but any operational run beyond day 7 is usually just one of those fwiw things to me. Sometimes they can signal certain things, but I still would not take them verbatim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Amazing how fast the leaves changed over the last 5 days here. And they are instantly falling...just brown, ugly red and some yellow and falling immediately That's been the case here for the past two weeks. The pelting has really accelerated over the past week. Kind of funny to not have any colored leaves to rake. They're so brown and crunchy you'd think you had waited for the final drop before raking (which is what I do except for the piles I make for my daughter). Warm overnight. 53.4/50 headed for the upper 60's I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This has been such an awfully boring pattern. Just put me in a coma until Thanksgiving. I can't believe you'd pass on all those Reese's and snickers. I've been gorging on candy corn since Labor Day. Meanwhile, have moved my station for the tree work that' I think is taking place today. I'd hate to have the repaired station done in from a tree being felled 40' away. I htink the folks at Davis would get a big laugh over that repair. So, it's readings today are coming from the deck not it's official siting. No doubt, it'll be reading cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hard to believe we're on our third October thread and it's not even halfway through the month. You'd think we had been tracking three major snow events to pile ip so many posts. Instead, a few days of warm temps. Can only imagine how it will be when something of significance comes along. We'll need the post police out in full force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peak for the CT shoreline is right around Halloween... sometimes can be early November if you have a very warm October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Peak for the CT shoreline is right around Halloween... sometimes can be early November if you have a very warm October. Plus I feel like that area on through the Cape has a lot of oak trees which are always late to change. The type of tree that is indigenous to an area definitely helps out with the foliage, but the plant life could also be a part of the climate too.

Unfortunately this year the sugar maples are in rough shape. So combine dull foliage to begin with and fungus on sugar maples you have a pretty bad year.

Unfortunately this year the sugar maples are in rough shape. So combine dull foliage to begin with and fungus on sugar maples you have a pretty bad year. I guess I forgot the lateness of the change growing up. My yard had a couple of oaks but maples made up the of what we had to rake. Up here, the raking area is 100% maples, but once you head into the woods out back we go to about 55% maple, 15% pine 15% Cherry, 15% other (birch, butternut, aspen). I just walked out and took these pictures of the pond out back and of some of the maples that have shed a ton (most in some cases) of their leaves on the Pit's lawn already. Contrary to some folks' calculation of percentages, we're about 95% changed and about 15% dropped. Of course, that latter number changes by the minute. 66.0/46 on the Davis in the sun, 67 on the Home Depot 15' away from it in the shade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
