A lot of grousing in this thread the last few days.

So this would be the run where the GFS transitions from summer to winter by showing a blizzard at hour 300 in every other run instead of a Cat 4+ hurricane in each run by giving us both.

Good to hear. We planted 5 plum trees right before this last dry stretch so I am thankful for the rain so I don't need to keep watering them.

Is your lawn getting a nice drink? I am picturing standing in the rain with arms out like Andy Dufresne.

Starting to hear thunder rumbling here.

"NNE- come for the snow retention, stay for the weirdly frequent severe storms"

Some yellows, a lot of browns, and a few reds thrown in- it matches the foliage!

New drought maps are out but of course they have a cutoff of Tuesday. So continued worsening is shown. We wait to see how things look next week for this storm and anything else is factored in:

Nearest weather station has 2.93 so far with another .2 on Sunday night. Our pond is back to full, the new plum trees are watered, the driveway is covered in leaves, and there is water in the basement. Yeah it is autumn!

The light of the sunset really brings out the color of his salmon t-shirt and white suit jacket (sleeves rolled up of course).

If this was a cop or spy movie, you would have to avert a huge attack and end up working through the night. You would thwart it tomorrow but realize that you still had unfinished business in your career. Yes I am binge watching Mi-5 at the moment, why would you ask that?

The rain has slacked here now but when we got up the rain was so heavy our labrador refused to go outside to go to the bathroom.

weather station on the next road over has 1.99 inches since midnight, and .83 yesterday, so 2.82 so far. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVTNORWI10 It also has the temp and dew doing 5f since 6 am.

If my math is right, KLEB is up to 2.22 inches. https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KLEB.html

2007 had a huge Grinch melt. I think it was around the 23rd. We were in Bethlehem NH at the time and had a 22" pack taken down to an inch in a two day hit. We recovered and I think there were still a few patches of snow on the ground all the way to May 1.

Niedermeyer!

PF- I keep thinking that the stones in your shots the past few days is snow. Someone in Norwich does regular drone flyovers movies, he did one for the foliage yesterday.

I just remember it as the year that Maryland got 70 inches total in 3 snows while in Peacham I got 3 inches total in 70 snows.

Is a dream a lie if it don't come true or is it something worse?

Poor man wants to be rich Rich man wants to be king A king ain't satisfied til he rules everything I want to go out tonight and find out what I got.

Those help but picture what you do when you go in. You check in a table, the person looks you up on the rolls, gives ballot. Rinse and repeat for hours for the person at the desk. And you know not everyone will be wearing masks. if it is safe, does that mean you are going to be a poll worker?

I think the biggest concern about in-person voting should not be about the voters but rather the poll volunteers. They are in that space for hours risking exposure and almost all seem to be in their retirement years.

Another story, this time with pavers. Last year we wanted to get estimates for repair/repave our driveway (110 yards long and steep). 3 companies were going to come out. 1 sent a low level employee who muttered out some loose range of numbers 20 to 30k and that they would send us a written estimate. They never did. The other two companies never showed. I am gradually doing it myself. Joys of home ownership.

We ran into many problems with consistency when we were in the St J area. People would show up once but not again. We had one guy who came and said he would be back on Tuesday to finish the project. He no showed and then called a year later to say he would be out on that upcoming Tuesday. In fairness he hadn't said the year before which Tuesday he would be back. We had another guy who was also doing a job next door. We got pretty sure he was billing us for time he was next door. We later found out (years later) from another handyman in town that he came in and helped the guy add supports in the basement when the first guy removed too much of a retaining wall and our upstairs was on the verge of collapse. We later found a vodka bottle and some emptys in a crawl space in the basement- I have no idea if the two things were connected. One day the guy billed us for 8 hours- he had put up one piece of trim around an opening. That night I rehung it properly and we let him go. I have learned to do much of the work myself as a result of these adventures.
