Nice pre-empt for melts just in time for the upcoming pattern to fail. Well done.

@dendrite Not sure if you follow this at all but I've seen your posts regarding trees and figured it may be of interest:

Most of December looks decent unless we get a big cutter...

Nice winter day! 22° after a low of 1° and about 3 inches of glacier, mostly snow with a little sleet and a crust of ice. Caught the Sundog in Granville MA.

Many ponds already frozen over here.  Not about to venture on the ice yet but impressive nonetheless.  Could be skating by next week in shallower protected areas.

An air quality alert and cold weather advisory for wind chills up to -55. Currently -27 at the airport. Vodka cold.

Boy, I sure do hope they find relief with a big ridge over their head sometime around Christmas.

I love ginko trees. The late leaf drop is interesting. Hopefully the tree is okay. I’d plant one here, but I already have too many other trees…not much room between the fruiting trees, chestnuts, and butternuts/hickories.

This is my favorite wxstar 4000 simulator. There’s a lot of customization.

I don’t take much notice of Fairbanks temps until they hit that magical -40° mark. Of course that’s with calm conditions.

Any of the Hickory nuts from Nashville survive?

still targeting a mid January full leaf drop. The Oaks laugh at single-digit temperatures. The tops are mostly gone now.

I hear ya and don’t necessarily disagree. But they aren’t invasive (aggressive) and don’t spread their seed far so a single tree isn’t really hurting the ecosystem much. If I could only plant a couple of trees it would be native ones, but if I had a large enough property and more room for trees than I knew what to do with I’d possibly plant one. They’re fairly useless for wildlife though.
