We feel the same way, knowing really any day could be the last. Ours was 3 months old when we got him. Also tried the indoor route, but just no way. 10 or 11 years old in VT is pretty nice run as an outdoor cat. He kills so much stuff, its kind of shocking..ha. I find random corpses around the yard all the time.

Yea, we have that worry here too. Our cat was a barn cat and was an outside cat from the day we got him. Worst part is he loves to be out at night.

My cat is less than a year old and has easily killed 100 this summer. Its been great..lol.

Yep.

Just about 15" here last 2 months..lol. That seems like an anomaly even here in VT looking at the reports though.

What do you have past 60 days? Just peeked at Cocorahs and there are a couple stations under 1" past 60 days in MA--Yarmouth and Harwich. A Chatham observer at .46"--that's another level of Stein. Looks like they have got some this morning though.

Seeing these pics is kind of crazy, if you made the quick drive over the border up here, you would think its the Congo or something. Realize that is not the norm in NE obviously and some of it is just dumb luck. Hate to even say have almost another 1" today..lol.

Right, just took a look. Still looks warm with current soil temp at 80F in the tropics down there. Looking at the historical graph, the averages soil temp drops quickly in September based on 5 and 10 year data. He could probably wait, but still think he could drop soon. But you guys have more time down there for sure. Soil temp was 59F last year on Halloween. https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature

Its go time IMO. Like I mentioned before, it all comes down to irrigation and if you can water or your going to rely on rain alone. Thats the biggest success/fail factor.

There are a lot of cocorahs stations between 1-2" for AUG. Like you said probably just radar hallucinations and BTV radar beam. Today will put a few stations with higher end totals for AUG, prob more SVT and CVT.

Not in real time, I had to manually turn the little screws/bolts a turn or so. Trial and error like you said, but get a stratus so you can compare rain events. I would check with dendrite first before you do anything..lol. Basically below: Each counterclockwise movement of the stops by one flat of the hexagon raises the stop and hence increases the rainfall recorded by the gauge by approximately 1% (per flat). So one complete revolution of the stop would cause roughly a 6% increase in recorded rainfall. (Raising the stop – ie a movement in the +ve counterclockwise direction – decreases the weight of rain needed to cause a tip of the buckets and hence a given rainfall amount generates more bucket tips and thus a higher rainfall reading); Each of the two stops must be adjusted by an equal amount (and obviously in the same direction);

Its really not. At least with mine which is an older model.. My Davis had 3.21" today and stratus 3.23".

Some slow movers out this way, just sitting and dumping. 2.71" and pretty much a whiteout still.

1.14"

Nice, that will be a sweet surprise when you get that in the mail, you will probably forget about it by the time you get it. Mine was pretty quick, want to say 3 weeks maybe? Probably quicker and easier in a smaller state.

Also had zero clue there was any chance of storms today, then a deluge opened up while my kids were at the Manchester Rec Pool. Looks like .62" at home.

Just got back my $400 rebate check from Efficiency Vermont for the Midea ACs I bought last year. Have to give props to @mreaves for making a post about it couple months ago. I didn't even know it was thing until I saw that post! Time for another Tree House run..ha.

I was watering my plants a ton in June. I don't ever water my grass, too much time and effort and well is too shallow anyway. July and Aug have been pretty decent precip wise, so kept green for the most part the past couple months.

I've seen you post those in the other thread, would you just water the damn things Kevin...lol

Hydrangeas look pretty healthy which is kind of surprising unless you are watering them.

If you are able to water consistently, you can really start now honestly. If you are just going to rely on good old ma' nature, then maybe wait and pray for fall rains.

AUG nights in NNE...

AUG nights in NNE...

Lol. The curved back ones are the only ones remotely comfortable.

I think @powderfreakhas mentioned this in the past for Stowe, but August is just crazy busy here. Every night you need call ahead or reservations for most restaurants. In July, almost never need that during weekdays. Maybe that is just the same every where in New England, AUG is peak vaca time I guess. Nice comfy 51.8F this morning for the low.
