BucksCO_PA Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 I heard five ponds was a great public course. Is the course on street rd? in warminster. Street Rd just past York Road, course is in the best shape I've ever seen, township really puts alot work into the course, amazing with all the play the greens are terrific & consistent from hole to hole. Mostly open course that's gets quite tough when the NW wind is gusting like it was this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Low @ PHL this AM -- 33. Still no official freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainshadow Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Your very welcome Tony, looked like a lock earlier in the week but this weekend is going to be real close at PHL. Got in another round this afternoon, Five Ponds was in amazing shape for late NOV, gotta love lush fairways / greens at winter rates You might have been the inspiration for Tony Wood's Inquirer article also. It hasn't been that wet this month which helps also. We played our swampy home town course last Sunday and it was in pretty good shape also.

famartin Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but this is now the latest in the year PHL airport has gone without a freeze. The previous record was November 26, 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUCK JOE BIDEN Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 sun angle has a lot to do with the growing season, probably more so than localized temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoSki14 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 The growing season generally ends when the temps get close to freezing and the time of year. Even if PHL didn't hit 32 until now, the growing season was already over with the lack of sun and colder temperatures. It's not like your lawns kept growing for the past 1-2 weeks, but of course, statistically we don't officially end the growing season until it hits 32F.

I have petunias still in bloom and i have been down to 30 multiple times. Pt being the amount of time below frz wasn't harsh enough to kill them.

famartin Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 sun angle has a lot to do with the growing season, probably more so than localized temps If that was true, then the higher elevations wouldn't see a color change before lower elevations.

nzucker Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 If that was true, then the higher elevations wouldn't see a color change before lower elevations. I think he's just saying that flowers and vegetables start to die off with the low sun angle even if you have warm nights. I've noticed this as an avid vegetable gardener...crops like beans and peas start to grow more slowly in October and early November even if the pattern is mild; there's just not enough sun for photosynthesis.
