This is wierd! Our trees have been bare for 10 days and turned color over a month ago.
A big storm front blew through the NE yesterday, blowing leaves all around. I found swamp oak leaves, the nearest trees are miles away.
But what really blew my mind are GREEN leaves. Oak, maple, beech. Where has green deciduous forests now?

There was a lot of hurricanes coming in this year. One observation I did is that every single time it becomes much hotter the day after a hurricane passed inlands. Yesterday we had low 80s in Dallas (28°C) and today it is back to 70. (21°C).
With this mild weather I guess that forests are still green up to Kentucky? But I don't really know. Haven't traveled at all this year. Next week I have a week off and can roam around a little bit.
In Dallas most trees have lost their leaves as there was substantial wind gusts coming in with the hot weather.

Kentucky is not typically green now. And that’s 1000km. Amazing that a frontal system could blow leaves so far.

Well, another post with no value, except to torment contributors here. Why this is tolerated I cannot understand. But ultimately I can only control my own actions, thus my next activity to go find a more civil discussion forum where such narcissism is not acceptable. Been great having daily chats with you gents. I may poke in now and again if I need something. I have your emails and you mine, so if I can be of any assistance drop me a note. I’ll make a final donation to the site, may way of saying thanks. All the best to you guys in your future endeavors! Chuck |

There was a lack of rain in the midwest followed by rain and then snow. This causes early budding on my trees. In the 1970s when it did some similar things, some buds were lost but regrew. Earliest snow this year in a long time. Temps averaging much cooler than average. Kansas lost some early crops due to a late freeze early in the year. Hope there is not another 1970s trend. I can't agree that it is weird though as these cycles have been analyzed and predicted by meteorologic scientists for decades. The speeding up of predominant magnetic North toward Siberia and the effect on weather is producing some new variables and questions.
Sad to see you go Chuck. I understand though.
Thanks,
Tyson

I was in Kentucky yesterday. Most of the leaves have turn and or shedded.
Awoke this AM to two inches of snow on the ground. The air temp is a balmy 29°.

Northeast Ohio typically gets it's first snow fall in mid-November. We received about 2 inches last night.
The high temps for the next five days, highs in the upper 50's to mid 60's with lows in the lower 50's.
I have by nemorus Bait Trap set out. It has been several days since I checked my Bait Traps in Killdeer Plains WA or Grand River WA.

Jan, could you please stop bothering other members please Sorry if my comments was perceived as bothering to other members. Perceptions come in many forms I guess, but fair enough. I did not see the same level of editing of similar statements in a couple of my previous threads. Spamming with non-pertaining music videos to drown out posts pertaining to the threads was one way. Spreading totally unfounded comments was another issue. Not a single one of them were edited, deleted or the member told to stop spamming or posting obviously nonsense replies. They are still there. Maybe they should be deleted, edited and the members be told to stop bothering and spamming? In retrospect, that would be great! I started a very simple thread on "Our Planet on Netflix". About nature and problems to our planet. Plain and simple. No negativity. No puns meant. Issues we all should be able to understand and comment on in a respectful manner. Have a look at the thread and honestly tell me how such a simple thread could turn into such a hateful one! Then please explain to me why some of these posts were allowed to remain unedited, deleted or members told to stop bothering other members? Look at some of the comments of the said thread here: insectnet.proboards.com/thread/8357/planet-on-netflix-contribute?page=3And on the disrespectful spamming: insectnet.proboards.com/thread/8561/change-coming?page=6Should these hateful comments continue being displayed on this forum? If it is fine to explain climate change issues with volcanic eruptions and solar flares, so why not this issue? Supposedly it is totally valid to question established science and knowledge. Climate change is not a matter of believing in it or not believing in it. Climate change is a hard, cold fact. Whether one understand the science, or do not understanding the science, behind it, is what makes the difference. We all know its there! On the subject of this thread, it is commonly and widely known that the Saharan Calima sandstorms takes sand across the Atlantic ocean and drop it in the Amazon Basin regularly. Typhoons makes whole oceans rise and flood low laying regions. Even dropping ocean going ships hundreds of meters inland. So I guess there's a very high probability that green leafs can be carried over huge distances and dumped, as described. Especially with storms becoming more frequent and stronger, due to climate change. Jan Lets see if this is perceived in objectivity... |

Jan, yes some editing has been done in that topic too.
Should more editing have been done, probably but you know moderators have a life and a job too...
And frankly let's ALL try to be kind with other members.
About climate change, I agree with you.

Jan Maybe you should go to this forum instead of mocking others and exclusively talking about climate change on Insectnet. www.climate-debate.com/forum/Some topics are just too polarizing. I'm immediately turned off by particular topics and subsequently, tend to discount the person bringing up a polarizing issue. Climate change, boring and subjective. I couldn't be less interested. "Anyone can come up with facts to support any topic, 80% of people know that."  That's really close to a quote by Homer Simpson. I'd have to get out my dvds to pin it down. |

The antique predecessor of the blu-ray disc, yep, they still make them. It was state of the art not long ago.  |
