Violently agree, I don’t recall the last time we had that much lightning going on at once. The entire house was getting constantly lit up for a solid 20-30 minutes. Up to .52 on the day.

.46 through the tipper as the storm pulls away now

Getting nailed here right now, constant lighting and cracks of thunder.

It’s about time they replace that defective sensor, no?

Happy 4th! The soil is rock solid here. I don’t live near Narrowsburg but I just locked at the river gauges and the Delaware is running around 3.5 feet if that’s why you were asking.

A couple of years ago now I point blank asked NYSDOT in a meeting if they had a plan or funding to deal with the ash tress and they just looked at me like no one had thought of it. I asked someone in my office last month involved with a local resiliency plan if there was any talk of dealing with the ash trees and he said that it was at least mentioned now. Sadly the death will hopefully get more done. I say if NYSDOT can eventually find enough money for a third lane on 17 in Orange County they should use those funds on the local roads instead. There is no shortage of long overdue paving required, brush/tree clearing, traffic signal replacement, and bringing intersections up to the ADA standards and making them safer for pedestrians. But projects like that aren’t as politically sexy as a third lane on 17, which isn’t really needed based on the data but you didn’t hear that from me.

The amount of dead ash trees is incredible now and they will be a problem for years to come as they decide to drop...

Can save some time mowing at least now that we’ve started the deep deep drought and the grass is going dormant

47 for the low earlier, up to 50 now. KMGJ for down to 44.

Good morning Rich, Happy Fathers Day weekend to you too and everyone else! Up to 63 now.

Bootleg high of 70 at 1:53am, down to 59 now. Tis a glorious morn’

A couple house rattlers this morning. The rain looks worse on radar than in reality .09 so far

Goddamn groundhog destroyed my 15 year old perennial mums and ate most of the buds on my echinacea plants.

Was the gauge next to your kitchen sink again? Luckily the dews have not made it here yet, just checked the satellite and clearing is rapidly moving in.

60/58, 1.24 thru the tipper

That's quite the intense workout if you're reading the board while doing so

.05 total, dews back below 60 within the last hour.

I took this along the Wallkill earlier this week

The dew is finally below 60 again here in the swamps of Campbell Hall/Montgomery, whichever one prefers.

And just to my south, I was in Middletown earlier and there was a down pour there

I’ve got Blutaraky’s grade point average here for the day, no complaints from me.

I’ve had a couple…but I’m with you on the day drinking now. I’m surprised I didn’t have one last weekend after Shilelagh Law at the Irishfest…me stumbling up the street to the bar afterwards had to be a sight but the pipes showed up and the bar was going nuts with the Ranger game on. Good times.
