Another 09/10 Winter Forecast

[billski]

If this warm spell lasts much longer, you might start having to climb trees to keep busy raking. I imagine you are getting pretty close to done by now!

I ran out of bags this weekend - count is up to 229. There are definitely a lot more leaves this year - last year was 200#. I probably have about 20 more bags to go, but it's the crappy stuff, wet and moldy, stuck under the shrubs and trees. Next weekend.
I had enough leaves, went hiking today. No huntin' on Sundays in Mass.(well not everyone got the memo!) Damn am I out of shape! I could not believe how WET the woods are (Berkshires). The drainage path were running full tilt and there was water pouring off the cliffs. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE SNOW!!! :uzi:

Bill I don't understand. Back in October after my trip to Boston we discussed the fact that the I-90 corridor seemed to be a week to 2 weeks ahead of the I-80 corridor here in North Jersey. Now I see your still at the leaves. We lost all out leaves about 2 1/2 weeks ago (which to me seemed early) and I've been able to clear them while you sound like you still have some to go up in Mass.

I think Bills neighbors are taking advantage of his head injury and blowing their leaves into his yard while he's at work. :razz:

Winter Weather Advisory....there's nothing more wonderful than those three words...8) ..But again, just another 10deg lower and conditions would be a lot nicer, oh well.... At least tomorrow should be a good time to get up any of the friggin leaves blown in from others' yahds eh' Bill:evil:.

Winter Weather Advisory....there's nothing more wonderful than those three words

I do love those words, but there is one phrase I like to see from the NWS even better: HEAVY SNOW WARNING

And this definition gets the anticipation churning moreso:

Winter storm warning -- A significant winter storm or hazardous winter weather is occurring, imminent, or likely, and is a threat to life and property.
