I'm also getting expanding and growing brown spots every day. Lava approved.

Depends on the type of grass you have. Kentucky blue grass will just go dormant and then bounce back with rain and somewhat cooler temps. With fescue and perennial rye grass you could actually lose some if it stays dry long enough and hot enough. I dont know what you type you have, but I think most will bounce back. Now, if somehow July is a roaster and dry, then obviously higher likelihood of some grass not coming back. But I mean you would need almost no rain for another 3-4 weeks I think to lose amounts you would notice.

With no rain in sight for at least a week and temps rising toward the end of the end of next week going to let my my lawn grow a little and probably cut at the highest mower setting. Most of my lawn gets 10 hours of sun, so going to try to shade out the soil a bit.

Dropped some fert over my acre+ of lawn this evening. Solid drink as a cell just moved through to water in. We take.

Looks good. Surprised that fescue patch has survived and looks that good in what looks like deep deep shade.

Weather has been great, but 10 straight days of sun and no rain means my lawn is starting brown a bit in spots. 86-87F today and another wall to wall sunny day and a few more torch days to come still. I would guess by Friday lawn will be worse its looked since I moved to VT. Dont recall an almost 2 straight weeks with no rain here.

Headed over to the Daks today to work on the building the deck on the family lake house..absolutley glorious out and almost no bugs working near waters edge.

Like Coastal mentioned, looks like they lucked out getting the deform with upslope combo. But your right, most "normal" synoptic snow events with E/Se flow Bennington VT over into Cambrige NY struggle and normally end up with lower totals. But they do sneak in some good events with blocked flow upslope. In that big NOV 2016 upslope event Shaftsbury VT had 16-20" IIRC, I had I think 8"-9"

Damn--crushed 12" in ENY. I think ALY had 1-2" forecast there. Getting a foot when NWS call is for 1-2"--epic positive bust

Sun peeked out just long enough to squeeze in some nice shots, some squalls going through now.

4.1" total here, bottom couple inches pretty wet with some drier May fluff on top from this mornings upslope.

That area can do OK at times with NW wind as the Taconics are right to their east, but that is a big precip discrepancy in all directions. But there are 4 separate reports of 8-9" in that area, so its legit.

Yep, check out weathernet, 2 more reports of 8+ in Washington county NY

Whoa, about 15 miles southeast of here in West Arlington VT reported almost 9". That's not some weenie elevation spot near Mitch, maybe like 300-500ft and they are always near the bottom of snow totals in SVT--impressive. Most have been some type of nice banding at some point over night.

Probably close to Mod SN here now. May accum in the books with .4" on the board.

34.7F mostly snow now. Interesting that east of the spine at 2k still at 38F..waiting on cold air to ooze in I guess.

For you guys in SE MA I would check out this place. I'm not sure if they sell it in stores, but pretty sure you can buy it direct from them and pick it up in Quincy. $3.50 a bag and pretty similar to what Milorganite is. http://www.baystatefertilizer.com/

I've used it a good amount over the years, good thing is you can apply at any time of year, even mid summer which you wouldn't want to do with synthetic fert. Its a little cost prohibitive for me now with 1.5 acres of grass but if I had a smaller yard I would definitely look at as an option. Has some iron in there too to help with darkening and better grass color.

I personally would hold off on the fert if you are overseeding into an established lawn, the fert will jump start the existing grass and thicken it and make it grow more quickly out competing the young grass seedling for sunlight, moisture etc. It will also make you mow more often and greater likelyhood to trample young seedlings. Would wait a couple weeks until the new grass seed emerges and is 1 or 2 inches maybe. Grass seed doesn't need any fert to grow initially, but obviously its helpful once its tillering and getting a larger root system established.

Did a little haircut today of front lawn, not much came off, but wanted to fire up tractor. Timely fall fert app helping with green up. Shady side of lawn still waking up a bit slower.

Just going to have to watch it going into summer, especially if its DIT special with HHH throughout. I think you mentioned being on a well, so need to watch running that dry--you most likely will need to water through summer. Fall seeding is definitely a better option if you can wait, but just make sure to not let the seed dry out if your seeding now or in fall--constantly moist.

Lol...didnt realize it was that much. Thought it was in the 15-18 range. So yea, 22" works. I haven't seen that much in one event in the 5 years here in VT.

I went down to western Chester County for that one, hours and hours of 2" per hour rates. I think Philly itself sucked some exhaust from those suburb bands and ended up relatively screwed.

Late to the party, but just winding down up here this morning. Final is 18.4" Just about 50" for the month.

14.5" still coming down and should for a good portion of the night. Yep, just amazing conditions right now.
