Defying the odds, we’re following more flooding on the anniversaries of two major flooding events in Vermont.

Emergency Management reports that rescues are happening in the Northeast Kingdom, with the first floors of some homes underwater.

Vermont Urban Search and Rescue teams are en route to the Orleans County area. And swift-water teams are staging in Lyndonville and Stowe.

Between 4 and 5 inches of rain have fallen, with more on the way.

It’s moved back in here.

2.74”/hr rate.

2.12” and climbing.

At home, we sit between two stations.  One is at 3.32 and the other at 1.81,  Sadly a third which is even closer has been offline for a few weeks.

1.30" now, that 0.50" was short lived.  It just keeps reforming.  It's like dry a mile SE of here in RT 100/108 intersection.

Rainfall rate peaked at over 2"/hr but is back down around 1"/hr.

@klw looks like they just fired off a Flood Warning from here to your office.

There was debris washed onto the hill on Stagecoach Road this morning that wasn't there yesterday.  Probably washing over again there.

It’s always fascinating how localized convective rain is.

I live on the south side of the Stowe Country Club (say near the "C" in club)… around a half inch so far today but increasing.

North side of the golf course is over 1”.

A mile SW in center of Stowe Village is only 0.08” (that’s the Cocorahs station spot).

A half inch difference across the golf course is wild though.

We are at 1.55 here in central downtown Hyde Park.  It will pour for 5 minutes, stop, restart., stop...

Station right around the corner from my house reporting just shy of 3" between 6 am and 7:30 this morning.  Rest of area seems to be 1 to 1.5 in that time frame.

Happy 4th of July. 

 

Yeah but did they install?  What are the dews?

59 to start the day, had the windows open all night, wonderful for sleeping!  House is cooled back down. 

Showers have come through here, maybe some more later too.

Down to 72.  Humid still but summer's back is broken.

Does that say 102 by Pawtucket/Central Falls or is that a trick of the eye?

KLEB already at 90 at 10 am.  8F ahead of yesterday when they topped out at 99.

Ouch.  Your best bet may be to move the papers, dig down a few feet and drop a weed cloth, perforated pipe, and crushed stone, top with pea gravel for the entire paver area.  Run that pipe to the woods if possible. If not, get past the house and dig a wide catch basin (there's a specific plastic part to drop in that spot, I can't recall the name).  Unfortunately with standing water like that you can't do a half solution.

That is my general plan.  I believe the pipe is already in place the water can't get to it because of how solid the "soil" is above it.

Friday was a nice display of the compaction and drainage issues I mentioned recently about why I am having trouble maintaining grass in the area below.

I am both curious to know what Google search terms lead to this picture being found and at the same time afraid to know what those terms were.

Is there a reason why my neighbor would be mowing his lawn every 2 to 3 days?
He’s only 60 and retired so it could just boredom but maybe there is a good reason for mowing that frequently?  
i’m not going to ask him because I find it all a little annoying and he’ll probably detect that in my voice.

edit: this is the same person, who will spend Sunny days in late February and early March, snowblowing snow from shady sections of the yard into sunny sections to melt it quicker.

 

We used to have a neighbor that did this and he usually did it right as it was getting dark/ bed time for our kid back then.  We assumed he did it to get an hour away from his wife.

This spot looks like they had to reset their gauge early 

3.82 today after 2.05 yesterday
