Yea, pretty intense here as well which is normally the case in these setups. Debris everywhere in the roads, like a slalom course driving home in the dark. A 30ft weakened maple got uprooted and is leaning on the power lines at neighbors right now, power still on....for now. Advisory probably warranted, at least for the usual downslope suspects.

As Jspin and PF, its all relative. It is somewhat of snowhole considering within 10-15 miles snowfall can be much higher places east. But being near the Canadian border, average is bound to be higher. Retention is pretty poor(again relative to surrounding areas), 33" is the highest ever recorded depth at BTV (records back to 1895). Retention is bad up and down VT west of the Green Mountains as its so easy to get a torch on Sw/S winds.

I did a stop at the Grand Canyon skywalk in '09 when I drove from the west coast to east coast. Definitely pretty cool. Pictures definitely don't do the Grand Canyon justice compared to in person IMO.

Pretty sad story. Any "plane" where you can stick a selfie stick out and take a pic is a no go for me... Also, not a fan of those sightseeing planes, and helicopters--seem like you are always hearing about those going down somewhere. Im sure if you look at the data, its probably safer than driving in a car everyday, but just not for me. I guess Im risk averse..lol

I was just going to ask how long it stays green for---6 months? That is more than I would have thought for Zoysia in a northern state. I could never have that for many reasons, but seems to work for you.

4.55" in 2 hrs, not bad. 8/9/2018 11:30 AM MA-BA-12 Orleans 1.1 E 120 4.55

2.61" past 24 hours or so. Rivers and streams are raging..never seem them so high in my 4 years here. Normally this is a summer trickle

Welcome to the SVT banana belt...Nice car ride up there..and hike also. I'm sure PF appreciates your lapse rate reports of 5F per 1000ft ..think the base is around 800ft and top around 3900ft. Although I thought it would be a bit lower with more humid air, but I'm no expert.

Nasty cell coming through now....wind, low vis, hail, +RA..ridiculous thunder

I would say its coming down pretty good near Albany...lol

Money being no issue, that is the way to go I think. Will look nice under the Oak and you wont have that moonscape/desert look anymore.

Yep, saw a cocorahs report over 6" past 4-5 days in that area (West Halifax). Think we're in the 3-4" range in valley, will have to check gauge when I get back from Baltimore....trulyhere.

Hit some low stingers and get that extra roll Drove by Equinox earlier and there are swimming ponds on some fairways.

2.27" this morning. Some nice TL also. Definitely missed some of the action last night and this morning, so there are probably higher amounts around SVT somewhere.

Right, I guess I should have added that a brown discolored lawn could also be disease and or grub damage which is less likely to come back than drought dormancy. Grub damage is pretty easy to identify as the lawn will be able to be pulled up off the ground like a piece a sod.

Yes, the lawn is basically going dormant if it goes all brown. It could probably be totally brown for a month or so and still be fine and come back again with some rain and or irrigation.

Well, looks 5 days straight of 90F+ here, and think Saturday was 89F, so almost 6 straight, which is pretty impressive.(Im guessing it has happened before, but not sure) I dont have good records in my 4 years here, but we haven't hit 90F that often that I can recall, and the times we do hit 90F its normally like 91/64 type stuff. Only thing its been good for is swimming. Been hitting up local lakes and pools with the kiddos and not used to getting out and not needing a towel or feeling a chill from the normal 81/60F airmass i'm used to while swimming up here. Although Sunday was absurd with the temp/dew combo, even after swimming had to go right to the shade and still couldn't cool off.

Stratus.

Their like $30ish

definitely hard to tell, with that pattern, almost looks like it could be a disease or fungus

Dead calm for now and nice valley temp drop down to 60F. Looks like it's near or above 70F in the 2k range around here.

I think I mentioned this last year when you did the seeding, but I don't think much if any KBG came in last year. I would have to go back into the thread to see exactly, but that's not what a month old KBG lawn looks like. You had a bunch of wide bladed grass something coming up. KBG at 1 month would be very short and wispy thin and probably some bare patches in the lawn. The color is off too...I think that is mostly grassy weeds or annual grasses unfortunately. If there was any bluegrass, the weeds dominated and shaded it out and took up most soil/root space...weeds need alot less water than bluegrass to establish, that's for sure. This is a 1 month old bluegrass lawn...now, all yards and soils are different, but it should look something like this i would think. I wouldn't try another lawn unless you can figure out a water solution also honestly.

New set of clubs AND a new Davis for father's day? What's Christmas like ? I need to let my wife know to step up her game.

Not sure exactly what those are, don't look like the normal lawn weeds im used to. They look easy to pull though or easy to kill with a broadleaf weed killer.

Kentucky Bluegrass is usually the last to week up in the spring out of the cool season grass cultivars. Its also normally the darkest and shortest growing. But, you should probably be seeing more than .5" by now I would think. I dont know, you have like a moon scape up there or something, nothing really wants to grow and flourish.
