  1. There are definitely things we like here but the kids aren't sure where they will wind up but since my Sean works for American and this is their headquarters odds are... He equates it to being stuck inside with heat in the winter up north, they say when it's hot like this you just stay in the AC and pool. And in his case when he wants to see snow he just hops on a flight.
  2. I'm in Texas visiting my son and daughter in law. Great times, lots of fun, as is tradition but this heat down here is just plain stupid on so many levels.
  3. Decent thunderstorm yesterday dropped .41" with hail reports out in western Orange County from a different cell that came though a little later in the evening.
  4. It’s not that simple but could start the process to get federal money. SOE’s are often declared so that the government can do whatever is needed to get things back to normal including not following their own laws including procurement policies. An example that comes to mind was in 2013 when Long Island ran low on road salt and NY declared an SOE which allowed trucks delivering road salt to travel on roads that they were normally overweight for. All that said, not sure why NJ declared one tonight. 2.04” here for the day, 4.04” for the month, ready for a glorious weekend.
  5. Off and on drizzle this morning with a storm total of .46. Noticeable change in the air mass from yesterday morning, 63/62 currently.
  6. .12 on the day here, the folks down south can have at the flooding rains thus far.
  7. I'd have to check my numbers but I know with this humidity the lows have been warm. Due to the warm lows it could be a 'sneaky' warm summer, I'm thinking that's the case. It's the lows that are really driving the above normals these days.
  8. Off the top of my head the last true drought was 2002. We have had some dry spells though in the growing season that come to a crashing, rather wet, end sooner rather that later when compared to a true drought.
  9. Yeah, I'm over thunderstorms, the ones with wind anyway. Yeah, I said it. Not much wind here yesterday thankfully but did have a house shaking bolt of lightning strike real close, only .26, not complaining about that.
  10. I'm up to five rounds of thunderstorms this week so far
  11. 1.59" this week so far, so much for the grass going dormant...
  12. You serous Clark? Be sure to turn your headlights off.
  13. Yesterdays 69 was interesting. Wait, wut? Three rounds of storms yesterday dropped a total of .69 along with some more branches, yay, but I digress. That got my July total to 3.67". The 30-year average for KMGJ (two miles or so away) in July is 3.30" so it would obviously be considered above normal. My 20-year average for July is 4.85", so its below normal in that regard. June was below normal when compared to either monthly average.
  14. I'm on the verge of my second below normal month for rainfall, depending of course on what happens the next day and a half.
  15. Agreed, the smaller the crabgrass the faster it works. I must say though, one of our gardens became infested with large mature crabgrass and I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked, just took a little longer.
  16. I've had decent success with Ortho Weed Clear Lawn Weed Killer, the one with the crabgrass killer in it, in spot treatments of the inevitable sprouts in random areas.
  17. On the drive this morning I saw my first small maple with orange leaves. #itscoming
  18. What do you guys think? Some may get an inch or two to freshen the snowpack as this low rots away?
  19. True, and its nothing like it was at its peak last year when it was low to the ground. Most people probably wont even notice, they didn't last year either until it got to ground level. But I know its there, I know its there dammit! Anyway, a delightful low of 57/55 earlier this morning.
  20. Perfect timing for the smoke to show up today and mess up the blue skies
