The amount of posts you've made this week about blowing children is concerning.

Easy to see how - as others have said - Freshwater flooding is going to be the most impactful (costliest, deadliest) weather event related aspect of AGW. Probably already is.

I have to imagine there's some water level rising in the area PF described. Impressive if not.

1.38" today. Praise Jah. 4.50" since 8/1 - enough for me to stop caring.

My kid got stung 14 times by em yesterday when we were fishing. Goddamn ground nest in the soft river bank of a heavily walked area. No visible opening, really. Maybe 6 inches from waters edge. There were a bunch of people walking near or over it, my kid just happened to kneel down right on top of it. They didn't swarm, only a maybe 4 or 5 attacked but they went for multiple stings.

It says he did save the data, and to send him a PM.

0.02" final. 3.12" since 8/1.

Coastal York and Cumberland counties here in Southern ME have the lowest precip totals since 8/1, ranging from 2.13" to 3.15" - now the least in NE based on CoCoRAHS obs. Maybe we turn it around in winter. Looks like I'll be installing my own NWS precip can this year as the shutdown continues. My stake could use a resetting, too, but I am less confident in tackling that solo (and I don't think GYX wants me to, either). And now what's this I hear about a colonoscopy? I shoulda stayed in bed...

Oh, we know what it's afraid of.

Bingo. Google Form with the responses routed to a Google Sheet.

0.13", up to 2.82" since 8/1. I think you've eclipsed me at this point. Not that it makes any difference other than from a pure numerical standpoint.

Hey @weatherwiz. Check out this beauty. Only about a half dollar coin size. Let's see how big she can get (orb weaver). I think she positioned herself where a light from a neighbor shines at night. Can you find her? She's pretty well hidden between the grasses and alyssum.

Birds everywhere. Can hear em chirping outside as they fly by. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-New_England-comp_radar-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined

Best rates of the season. Just dumping. https://ibb.co/y3g7BFV

That's enough to attract bugs, which will attract spiders. Heck, even an inside light left on will do that.

Do you keep outside lights on at night? Good way to attract lots of spiders (and f up migrating birds, but that's a different story)

1.13" in the Strati. No complaints. 2.68" since 8/1, but there are several CoCoRAHS stations along the coast with <2.00" in that timeframe.

With the economy great again, I'm shocked you haven't sprung for mini-splits. AC on Christmas Day, Morch - whenever. No more internal strife about uninstalling before the inevitable holiday dew rush. Sad!

Hopefully a scorned lover and no more. Don't need 'wedding shootings' becoming a thing, FFS. 47/39

All tucked in. 55/41.

Looking at the prints closer, it definitely checked the cleanout door and window area by hanging off the roof. All doors have a carabiner, and now the window does too. The coop itself has an automatic door on a timer, so all around they're safe. Hopefully it doesn't stress em too much. I'm gonna grab one of those cameras, thanks.

Yeah sorry, no scale for reference. Peak of the roof ridge is 6', and the metal panels are about 7" wide. The ground would've been wet enough last night, and there's a variety of dirt all over here - so not wet enough to make a print, but enough to get its feet dirty. There are raccoons around, and I have heard fisher here, but not in the last 2 warm seasons. Hens are safe inside the coop. I do wonder if it hung out and tried to get in, or of they stayed silent and the critter moved along. The only part that's not secure is their window. Hardware cloth under, but it's a small piece, and if nothing else they'd be freaking out and injure one another.

@dendrite Had a critter snooping on the roof of my coop overnight. Probably raccoon?

Here too, obv, but every hundred lawns or so is a bright green one. Just irrigating the hell out of it daily. Looks so gross and out of place. Entire landscape is fading color and then, boom, jarring bright green. 1.47" since 8/1. No soil sensor but I was ripping and flipping sod for before sheet mulching in the rain a few weeks ago (when we got an 1" over 3 days), and the soil directly under the grass was dusty dry. While it was raining, literally.
