A week ago today, it was 70 deg F, I could hunt whitetail deer in a t-shirt. I hauled 10 wheel barrow loads of compost to my upper garden and tilled it in before Wednesday, at which time there was a Nor'easter on the horizon, by Thursday, early morning, 5am there was a foot of snow here, more elsewhere. Made for a perfect morning to hunt, took a small 4pt buck, 150lbs. It stayed cool, but has progressively warmed up, most of the snow has melted by this morning. Week prior, or around 11/15, following, in the 20's at night, stayed in the low 30's. The ground was frosted a few inches, not anymore.

I tend to remember patterns, this year the ground did not get dry until September and only lasted until early October before the rains came back, was good log towing for a month. Year before the same thing happened, but it was dry in August to October.
Either way, you can't depend on the weather to cooperate, I'd have rather it stayed colder, frost up the ground first.

Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
