Mink Meadows Turf Maintenance Department: Number 3 Nor’easter

A lot has happened since my last posts. I went away to the NERTF.org conference and show in Providence. During those 4 days we had another Nor'easter. That middle one was simply 1.27" of rain and 50 mph winds. Just another day. Now the 3rd storm was another story. In case you have not been following NE weather that was a not a typo. 3 Nor'easters in 12 days. #3 had bigger winds and lots of heavy wet snow with a wet start of .9" of rain. Power loss, more trees, a real storm for sure. The course appears to be OK without any major tree damage that I could see from my quick walk and drive around. the roads suffered a bit harder with trees down all over the place. The snow will not hurt the grass but it will slow down the cleaning of the course from all these storms. I am hearing rumors of a possible storm next week. This is not a fun pattern. Guessing we had 6-8 inches of snow. Hard to tell since it was blowing around so much.
