CoastalWx Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Most of the Oaks are down..but man there's some this year that just have some straggler leaves..Enough that there's still2 more leaf blowings left I think Why do some lose most of their leaves and others just won't let go? I happen to have some that won't let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Why do some lose most of their leaves and others just won't let go? I happen to have some that won't let go. My folks have some oaks like that. It takes all winter for them to be blown or drop off. I don't know if it's a variety or just certain trees but you see it in the woods occasionally. I hate the sound of those leaves on a nice wintry day with a little wind. Evergreens sound much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it hasn't been all that cold here locally so perhaps all this changes this week. I'm just surprised how tenacious these leaves are. I lived with oaks before, but don't remember it like this. I'll found out in a couple of weeks because lots of them do hold onto at least some of their leaves until budding pushes them off in the Spring.

Damage In Tolland Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Why do some lose most of their leaves and others just won't let go? I happen to have some that won't let go.Some years they all come down by Nov and some years they just hang on and drop thruout the winter. I have no idea why it happens. I wonder if it's sun/ sunspot related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 During the blizzard if 12/11-12, 1960, we had an oak in the yard with shriveled brown leaves that wouldn't drop despite temps near 10, very heavy snow, and huge winds. Oaks are weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Somehow I live in a spot where most of my leaves are down by Halloween or just after, with the exception of a few shrub type plants. I can see in the woods a few oaks that hold on but we have 99% maples. When I drive around - just up and down the hill from where I live (within minutes) I can see other properties with 33% or more leaves on trees still. It's like that every year here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Oh I know that one. Radio sucks. You have to stay low on the FM dial these days. One of the things I miss about living in Boston was the college stations. Western MA has WRSI (The River) which is usually great adult oriented indie rock etc but even they have succumbed to playing "Royals" multiple times a day. They did the same thing with that Daft Punk "up all night to get lucky" song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 A friend sent an email to our group this morning, "The 2013-2014 winter battle: GFS 1, Euro 0" Granted it is not technically winter.... But, it was in regards to our coastal from 4 or 5 days back, when the Euro was stem-wound and throwing fantasy snow bombs from DC to Maine. Actually, in fairness I only saw one run that really targeted the I-95 corridor, but there were enough other runs in that era selling stronger, closer cyclogenesis to raise the indictment acknowledgement. In fact, quite objectively, the GFS blew away the competition on this thing. Now ... it may be kind of an unfair scenario for the Euro. If the pattern has a back-ground sort of tendency for progressive characteristic, than the GFS' (in have somewhat of an on-going bias in that regard) might be given an advantage in those time ranges. And vice-versa, should the flow become more blocked and meridional, the GFS may not catch on as quickly. But those are no excuses. We work with what the models give us. There may be other reasons/ways to validate the Euro's performance, making it appear better ... However, barring a miracle there will be no storm, and for that, the GFS wins on this particular series of events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The winter of 2010-11 didn't get going here until like 2 or 3 days before Christmas. On the 22nd I believe we had a sneaky little event that dropped a couple inches in this area and more towards the cape, which kicked off that incredible stretch. That year was a gradual pattern change if I remember and we had several Rainers well into mid December before that little snow event a few days before the holiday That winter was epic, feet of snow on the ground for over a month. It's only November, and it may take time. Just a reminder one of our best winters started around Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The GFS was showing a storm too, but lost it before the Euro did. I blame the media more than anything for that. It's not like Euro was showing bomb inside of d5. The euro did decent up here for yesterday's overrunning snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
