That squirrel's a flashing neon sign for hawks! I need to research the two mulberry trees better. I think one's a red and not sure about the other - the one is dark purple to black the other starts paler but gets darker as it ripens. They're very old, I was told they're pre-1900. Our Forester took DBH and crown measurements a couple years ago to check against state records but I don't recall him mentioning what varieties he thought they were. The one I suspect is a red mulberry is 90" circumference, the other is 125" - definitely old and pretty big. The UNH 'big trees' site shows two bigger by 20" circumference, not a lot ...

last time ny had a serious reservoir storage problem was got to be in the early 1990's.

Been watering for a couple weeks. Going out in a few mins to turn on the sprinkler. Looks like another tenth or so from mother nature the next few days.

Hi @Stebo

I'll finish this bourbon then headed out to turn on the sprinkler.

lol another tenth or so incoming through Friday. Repeating pattern with the guidance- juices up D4-5 then deteriorates to paltry useless rain that wets the top hundredth of soil.

Impressive for 7/1!

Yet another major WWB is gearing up, which will generate yet another DWKW. And there are hints of EPAC TC activity starting up, which generate more WWBs in their wake. If there was any doubt left that we are destined for a super El Niño (IMO a top 3 super Nino), this should put it to rest

Windy, clear/sunny here 71

73 today there-snow tomorrow-what a crazy climate

Wound up with 0.09" here this Morning. Some thunder and Lightning as well.

40" in the mountains. ACATT: WHY CAN'T....

7/1/1988 34 for a low Barre Falls MA. Frost in SNE in July? MWN 4" snow 6/30-7/1/1988, its most snow in the summer. Go figure, this was sandwiched in-between big heat in mid-June and after 7/4. One of the hottest summers on record for the area and the U.S. And the drought? $60B in damages, by far the costliest natural disaster for the country up to this time. Yellowstone burned continuously from June to November. July 1988 here was one of most active tstm months on record for SNE. MQE had 15 days w/ thunder for its all-time record. ASH also had 15 tstm days (43 total for the year). Derecho ALB to BOS on 6/22.

74.. perfect day

Today's Euro has jokes. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Fun times out in Colorado WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 10 and 24 inches, heaviest above 8,000 feet. Isolated totals up to 30 inches possible across the higher mountains in Boulder and Larimer counties. * WHERE...Rocky Mountain National Park, the Medicine Bow Range, and the northern Front Range foothills, including Red Feather Lakes, Estes Park, and Nederland.

Missed a nice weekend stuck inside. Today is gorgeous.

The typically drier spots on my lawn are already shockingly dry. I'm going to start watering tonight.

Yep, in my area it's been a half or quarter inch or so every week to ten days. Building up a deficit, but enough to keep things green. I can tell its dry because my grass (and grass in local parks) isn't as thick and lush as it usually is. As sun angle season builds, if we don't get more moisture (like at least 4" by the end of the month) it's gonna start to bake and burn out

I'm not seeing much brown grass here...or maybe I haven't looked hard enough. Quite a bit of green in Frederick. It doesn't seem like we've had more rain than other areas, but I do think we've been nickel and dime'd just enough to stave off that Great Plains look for now.

Sunny skies and 75 degrees in Maytown.

Brown grass is pretty usual in September and October if all the tropical cyclones miss us, but I don't ever remember seeing it in May. It must have happened in May 1969, which had only four days with measurable rain, but I was a toddler at the time.

It is sooooo depressing when you see big CAPE building into the upper-Midwest and Great Lakes region then watch it just get destroyed and shunted to our southwest when you loop it. Very depressing

I feel like May is always our coldest non-winter month.

What is the time for Wednesday’s rain?
