Its been like a decade with Lava lawn drama....its one of life's great mysteries.

Incoming..normally these weaken a bit once they hit Mt Equinox..well see

He's been nicely entrenched the past 3 weeks. .40" isn't going to cut it in 20 days when its in the 70-80s and sunny. Hope these storms materialize later today.

2ft? Jesus. I'm getting some browning in spots, don't remember that happening in May before.

Of course, enjoying the brief interlude though now before they take over in full force during daylight. Haven't seen many........yet

87.4F today. What a torch, too early for this IMO. Black flies all but done here, couple stragglers still providing a nuisance. Was away for a few days and got back this afternoon, perennial gardens just exploded last couple days. Annoying to have to water everything though..need a drink from mother nature.

Were on the back 9 of black fly season here. I noticed them pretty early, maybe a month ago or so. Was out most of the day in backyard with minimal black fly interference. I did however notice my first few baby sized deer fly, only a matter of time before they grow and become more vicious.

72F/35F with a few Cu. Yep, this will do.

Where did you pick this up? How much was a bag? I see they have a list of stores, just curious about price. Don't think its carried anywhere around here.

So true, happened on my Mom and Dad's side both when my last grandparent passed away. Kind of like you mentioned, we're not talking about life changing money either, but some relationships were irrevocably altered. Some of the shadiness from close family members was kind of shocking. Happened on my wife's Dad side also, sad.

1.71" last night and 4.42" last 6-7 days. Nice spongy feel to the ground.

Yea, you will see some along rte 9 unless it melts before you get there.

Was at the kitchen sink post dinner last night and this guy just pops up at the window.. coming back for seconds. Never been face to face like that before.

2.45" here last few days. Next week looks pretty awful too-hopefully some breaks to score a nice day or two. No snow here, just some flakes on my cam, but nothing stuck.

Euro is not exactly dry over the next week or so either.

Yea, pretty classic SVT upslope radar right here--No man lands (Glastenbury) down through Woodford just getting crushed with some decent to very good returns elsewhere. Would have been an easy 12"+ in the usual spots down here.

Yea, my backyard brook is a little more audible this morning. Pretty widespread 1.5-2" will do that.

Subcritical flow is not good normally for Stratton and Mt Snow. If its' really blocked the Taconics can trap the heavier stuff up by me and even Washington County NY can score a few inches and even block the good stuff from me on the Green's western slope. We aren't usually totally shut out even really blocked flow, but can limit maxing out on accum. Woodford normally is OK in any flow, the Taconics open up down by Bennington and the elevations are lower just to the north so the precip can bank up into there. Been a few times where Bennington itself has had more than up by me in Manchester when really blocked. I see Mitch just chimed in with some sounding stuff, so looks like it may make it to Stratton and even Mt Snow possibly.

And yes, Deerflies are the absolute f'n worst! They almost picked me up at 4k at the top of stratton last summer and flew away with me.. May try this tactic this summer..

This is already a second or third wave of black flies down here, they have been out for a few weeks. I'm same as Diane, Deet does absolutely nothing to deter blackflies from me. I can bathe in it and they attack even more it seems.

Black fly apocalypse today..cloudy with a little bit of dews and they got very hungry.

Overall, the discussion is great, it does seem to veer off at times and get a little personal/political. Personally I really appreciated the insight from WhitinsvilleWx on the vaccine stuff, that has been really interesting to me. Stock stuff too.

Certainly seem to be on borrowed time with this thread...
