Newer houses maybe? Those tall trees were probably once protected from other trees around them. Newer construction diverting runoff towards the woods edge, combined with a ton of rain to begin with. A kid probably could have pushed them over if they tried hard enough....
87/75 atm...not sure how that doesn't fire something out there this afternoon. Should probably pump some water out of the already too high pool....a few weeks ago I was ready to have water delivered to top that thing off, now I am pumping it out
Brief gusts to maybe 40ish, lots of lightning and thunder....pretty run of the mill thunderstorm. Between overnight and now, this might be the most lightning and thunder I have seen around here in the past 3 years combined. Impressive
I'm at 85/66 right now....feels great compared to what it has been, a/c was off for 12 hours but has now been kicked back on for the foreseeable future
I keep watching the radar for the first batches of precip to fire south of the LI sound. Especially if the stationary band starts to develop N to S....the atmosphere seems to be primed for heavy precip wherever it develops
86/74 right now with more sun than clouds is quite stifling. Not a ton of rain over the past 3 days, but enough to green up vegetation and top off the pool. Feels like summer at least...
Glad to see our daily anti rain shield has gone up...everything just dries up as it enters the Fairfield/New Haven County region....76/73 and we can't buy a downpour
Saw that...we had a brief downpour here, but only 0.22" in the gauge this morning...air is sort of crisp, nice to get rid of the humidity for a bit. Smoke looks like it will be rolling in here though, rather have the humidity
0.88" here since May 22nd, definitely could use some heavy rain...We can jack in this area during the winter when it is above 32°, but not when it counts for the garden....
Actually feels like summer for the past 24 hrs....the low temps this month have been unreal from a gardening perspective. Low growth rates from large diurnal swings...
