Crazy weather

[JCDEERMAN]

Yep, remember it well. Some of our oaks on hillsides were frozen from top, half way down, the bottom half were green. Very weird looking when only the top half of leaves fell off. Only time in my life to see that!

@scn - y'all talking about 2019?

Sounds right, 4-5 yrs ago. I was at camp when it happened. Was so weird as the freeze line stopped about 30-40' above ground. Everything above that was solid white that morning, below was green. Same when leaves turned black & fell off.

All joking aside I did hear one gobble the last day of duck season. It made me very happy.

I've already seen hens nesting for the 2024 spring

I can't top that!

I honestly think it's greening a little earlier than normal but not too much.

I remember in 2007 we had an early green up, then on April 7th and 8th we had heavy frost. All the trees turned black. No acorns.

Yep - that was the infamous EHD year.

Started this thread as a joke, but seriously, I remember years ago, don't remember the exact year, but we in west Tn got like 6 inches of snow mid April.

Now I'm off to look for those nests

Yea, older than dirt, carry on.

I remember that year as well by June it looked like it should have been September with brown leaves still all over the trees.

That's a nice Jeep willys wagon in the background. I like those year models with the windows cutout on the side on them.

I was logging then. Old-timers say that was the year the mountain soured. You could smell the dying vegetation in the woods.

I took a walk in between the storms this afternoon in Hopkinsville. The smaller Tulip Poplars along the little river have some large buds that look like they are ready to open any moment.
