    Rain just reached Augusta.  Looks like southern Franklin gets the 7-10, with a flood advisory up near Jackman and lots of downpours to the south.  Hope there's a 2nd act behind this one (nothing on radar yet) because those light greens over the home front look like maybe a tenth or two.

    Drying up a bit as it moves NE up here, Looks like there is more upstream trying to get going so we will see if that can blossom, Its to bad we had no sun to destabilize this area more today.

    Depends on how much fell.  24 hours after the Rome defoliator of 8/30/2007, which had hail accumulation up to 4" (mostly dimes-nickels), there were still runoff-built piles 2 feet deep, though the cloudy 60s on the 31st helped.  On my drive home from work, I stopped and put a few handfuls in a small bag to show my wife.  The morning commute had featured more piles, a remaining bit of "broadcast" white, and a 2-track thru 6" of leaf salad for about a mile on Rt 27.  I still kick myself for not driving out to look at dusk the day before, when I'd first heard about what had happened just 6-8 miles from home.

    I would have bagged it up for ice use.............lol

    Was optimistic, as that "stuff to the NW" was DOA.  Saturday is looking weaker as well, though it's barely inside 100 hr.

    Ended up rather isolated, And when that happens, I see nothing here and in most cases i get 7-10'd anyways, Precip this summer has been pretty scattered and hard to come by, Glad we irrigate the garden or that would be a disaster too.

    I'm trying to spread the clover on my lawn; in fact I wish my entire lawn was clover.  Nice, hearty green that's essentially drought resistant.  It keeps the grass that's inter-mingled nice and healthy, too.  The honey bees love it as well. Win-win-win.

    Yup, I have plenty of clover, And the bee's help with pollinating my garden which i do care about.................;)

    Kevin would love my lawn. I let the clover flower and drop seed during the heat wave. Clover as far as the eye can see soon!

    Most would have a stroke if they saw my lawn but i really care little about it, I hate mowing.
