I hope so. But it's very light here so far.

Got hit pretty good last night with soaking rain. I had about .50" yesterday, and just over an inch since midnight. I'm happy with that.

About an inch in the last 15 min from a month plus of stein to a flooded yard..

K. Schlegel Fruit Farm tdsroSnoepaht91c51h11a6c1glt138l401336a27m8l38cth41gf0c0463g · A Message from the Orchard On the morning of April 20, our orchard was hit by a severe spring freeze during a critical stage of bloom and fruit development. Temperatures fell to damaging levels for several hours, resulting in one of the most significant freeze events our orchard has experienced in recent years. We know many of you have been wondering how the crop fared and why we have not provided an update until now. The simple answer is that we didn’t know. Freeze damage is not always immediately apparent, and fruit trees can continue to shed damaged fruit for weeks after an event like this. We felt it was important to wait until we had a clearer picture of what survived before sharing information with our customers. We were also hoping for a better outcome. As the weeks passed, we continued to find additional losses and watched fruit that initially appeared healthy fail to develop. While we knew early on that the freeze had caused damage, the full extent of the losses took time to become clear. Based on what we are seeing today, we expect: • Cherries: complete crop loss • Peaches: approximately 10% of a normal crop • Plums: approximately 10% of a normal crop • Pears: approximately 20% of a normal crop • Apples: approximately 65% of a normal crop We are thankful to still have an apple crop, but many varieties will be in shorter supply than usual, and some fruits may be unavailable or available only briefly this season. This is not the update we hoped to share. Like every grower, we invest a tremendous amount of time, work, and optimism into each crop long before the first fruit is harvested. Seeing so much of it lost to a single night of weather is difficult. Even so, farming has always required resilience, and our focus now is on caring for the crop that remains and making the most of this season. We are deeply grateful for the support our customers have shown our family and our orchard over the years. Your encouragement and loyalty mean more than ever in seasons like this. We look forward to serving you this year as always will continue to share updates as harvest approaches. Check out this video, "wnep news farmers market"

Probably why most governments don't care. Everyone running the country is 70+ and rich so of course they don't care about AGW when they'll all be dead in 10-20 years.

Looks like you're about to get a nice steady rain. Hopefully this morning rain produces for everyone that missed out yesterday. NAM 3k is juicy for today.

Low of 69 and a disappointing .13” of total rainfall. Things just weren’t nearly stratiform enough yesterday and what did pop managed to miss me. Perhaps we get lucky today. Onward.

Just as I predicted. .22"

1.24" last 24 hours so far...(home Davis)

You're rolling! 0.01" here.

Nice rain yesterday in multiple segments .50, was much needed.

.08" puts me at 1.31" for June and 15.14" YTD. 4.53" below normal and good for 11th driest out of 131 years. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Couple houses in rockland got struck by lightning. Over 2” now.

6.40” in the last 26 days. Tough way to run The next drought monitor should be fun.

0.04 for the event so far

No doubt. Previous deficits, coupled with the lack of current rainfall, should pop them at some point. I know this is out of our forum, but once you get over the Blue Mountain into northern Lehigh County, there are some serious brown lawns, and the Jordan Creek in the New Tripoli area is about as low as I've ever seen it. Somehow, up here, we've done a little better, and have been a bit wetter.

Damn. After last night's rain, we're only at 4". Sent from my SM-S921U using Tapatalk

Congrats GON with a drought busting 3 inches of rain.

It's raining hard again, another .1 and going up.

Fall River is always the FFW capitol.
