There is a farm on Rte 66 in Columbia, right near the Hebron line, which I've always thought would be a great place to storm watch from, as it has a great view to the west. But it's obviously private land and I'm not sure they'd be excited to have people pulled off the road on their property.

bottomed out at .7. Almost hit zero.

Last night's deluge brought me up to .44" for the month. Windham county stats show .47" average precip in Oct 1935 and .26" in Oct 1924, so not a record breaker, but close enough. Things are very crispy around here.

Oh boy, that sucks. At least they should be able to keep the course running with a temporary pro shop.

Yup, down to 78 here in NE CT. Might need to put on a sweatshirt until these clouds go away.

I'm on the Pomfret side of town and we didn't get a drop. But I can hear lightning firing up to the south. Hoping we get a good soak soon.

Looks like mugwort. Roots will spread quickly underground. Can cause pollen allergies like ragweed.

28.9 overnight low here. Peach blossoms are out in full force. 28 is supposedly the magic number for them, so we're hanging on by a thread. Not looking forward to Wed/Fri lows.

Yeah, I'm hoping we don't get a surprise frost from here on out. I can't go two years in a row without peaches on my trees.

I already had to reseed after Wednesday's deluge washed away my grass seed. Then Saturday washed some of that away. Saturday's rain could be the nail in the coffin, although I'm probably 70% sprouted already, so we could survive.

I'm quickly approaching 3.5" here near the pomfret line. There are some areas in the lawn where I could probably run a jet ski for 100 yards.

gauge just got over the 3 in/hr rate. wow. wind picking up a bit

heaviest rain of the day here at the moment

Goldenrod pollen does not normally cause allergic reactions. Ragweed and mugwort are usually the culprits.

Thinking of taking the kids boogie boarding at second beach in RI this week. Is there a difference in conditions between hi and low tide for waves? Preferring to be able to wade out 3-4' deep water to catch waves, versus having the kids be over their heads.. I haven't been in at least 6 or 7 years and can't remember if it stays pretty shallow at both ends of the tide or not.
