After today’s rain, they will record 2018 as the wettest meteorological fall ever for the Boston area. This is the period between Sept. 1 and Nov. 30. How does "Blue Hill" mean "the Boston area"?

tamarack Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 20 hours ago, HoarfrostHubb said: Definitely a small acorn drop here this year. Like, stunningly so compared to the previous several years. Not sure what governs it. Plenty of fat squirrels though. We drip. Snowpack taking a beating which I’m fine with. Not sure whether anyone really has a handle on this, though obviously tree vigor is important. Acorns from the red oak group (red, black, scarlett, pin, etc) take two growing seasons to mature, so the monster crop of 2017 began with flowering/fertilizing in spring, 2016, which was seasonably mild but dry. Whether that wx was a factor, or whether the trees had built up energy storage during small-crop years and were due, is anyone's guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HimoorWx Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Mowing and mulching the leaves has revealed just how massive this year's acorn drop is in our neighborhood. I suspected it was large, but not this large. There are spots where there are so many acorns that it is like walking on a floor of ball bearings. Now the squirrels have taken to shelling the acorns and leaving half eaten nuts all over the yard. Not sure what that is about, but that is a new one for me. Ten years in this house, and this is by far the biggest acorn season ever. However, I have absolutely no idea what it means for the upcoming winter except that we will have fat, well fed squirrels.

EastonSN+ Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Not to beat a dead horse. But I am still mad at the 15 inch snowfall report from the blizzard if 1996 while Fairfield, Norwalk Darien and Greenwich all reported 27. Take a look at the observations from BDR in the attached link. No way in he'll that's only 15. http://www.raymondcmartinjr.com/weather/1996/07-Jan-96-RegionalSurfaceObservations.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same storm gave NYC more snow than in all the other 149 Octobers combined. Low bar, of course - 2.9" was enough to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
