Guy, I don’t recall seeing you in the last few years here, but your style and the way you come across in your posts this year is often super combative. Chill out, you can still make your points and be less cringey/disagreeable. .

It should be quite a battle. As always ….

The stuff that builds to the West and you just know it will hit the mountains and go poof. It is the reason I have replaced most of my perennials with drought tolerant plants. My sedums have done amazing the last two years.

Rain showers around all day today. Never cleared. High of 85. These showers only added up to 0.07, but the middle of the island had another cloudy and miserable day.

Rule #1, Don't place Japanese beetle traps in your yard, Rule #2, Encourage your neighbor to place them in his..................

that what usually happens during summer months..

89 degrees, 57% RH. that is about a 72 dp. So gross out.

Yep I believe it. Big slow moving storms.

1 Dendrite vs a 100 ticks. Who wins? Answer; They all do.

More rock than soil there.

Measured 2.25" of rain in an hour in South Toe just after lunch today. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Hellacious storms are here rolling through the area. Home is getting smacked big time along with Asheville area.

Very similar story a handful of miles to your south in Leesburg. 9.42" in May 3.17" in June 1.34" so far in July I know it'll turn around at some point, but it's been wild watching almost every storm blow up to our south and east over the past month. Even stuff that's looked good on approach from the west has died just before arriving and then ramped back up to my east.

Hazy day.

would take it

Flood watches posted for the Jersey side tomorrow

That thunderstorm did not miss me. Picked up .80 in 25 minutes.

No grubs

I’m not sure I’ve seen my chickens eat a tick. They will devour the beetles like crack though.

Well, let's see how day four goes. Previous three I've had thunder and lightning for hours only to get a few sprinkles. The thunder restarted about 20 minutes ago. I think we were moved to the desert SW the last 4 days lol. Currently 83.1/73.3 with clouds and thunder after an 86.6 high about an hour ago.

Good luck. Japanese beetles will leave only to return with higher numbers at some point in the day when you’re not aware. Only answer is to nuke em.

It’s had its really good moments for sure.

This has been one of the more impressive SST rebounds that we have seen from the spring into the summer. There was a significant cold pool to our east from the winter into the spring due to the record westerly flow leading to upwelling. This pattern has reversed with the persistent onshore flow and warmth this summer. The bouy east of Barnegat, NJ has a 81° water temperature today. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=44091 Water Temperature (WTMP): 81.0 °F

Given the numbers of mouse and vole species plus their huge populations, that seems like shoveling sand against the tide.
