I can't deal with another wet weekend It's really gonna suck if it's as wet as some of the models are showing.
-
We'll be out in a few years, come and get it. Right? I was looking at the garden area today and started cleaning up but kept sinking into mildewy ickiness. I'll probably just do hanging stuff with fresh soil this year.
-
As nice as these days have been my driveway is still wet and the sides are still soggy, not to the point where water comes up around your shoes when you step on it but it still squishes. Someday my neighbors will move and I can cut the thicket down so the sun and wind can get to the ground. Until then as long as this wet regime hangs around I guess I'll just watch the moss grow and crumble the terminally soggy pavement

Not at this point it isn't. All it takes is a couple of tenths for my basement walls to start seeping again. When it rains an inch or more I suck 100s of gallons out with a shop vac over the next couple of days. We usually put a car in front of the house to make it easier to deal with the driveway but I can't because the mud is tenacious and I've been stuck several times now. The backyard is spongy and the garden is too wet to plant anything. #bringbackthedrought for a month or two

Heh, dad used to talk about 5 year old him stepping off the top step of the porch and sinking right up to his eyes.

The way the wind has been a steady roar for hours is kind of at odds with most of the stations around here (on WU), it seems that it should be higher than 6-9 with gusts to 13. The local mesonets are ~20/G30-35. Are most homeowner setups just too low to get decent measurements when it's like this? It sure is nice out of the wind in the sun

I'm so tired of saturated ground and water coming up through the basement floor and seeping through the walls.
-
Graupel and sleet mixed with mini snowballs That was fun. Now it's just flurries.

Bring the snowshoes anyway, you might need them to get through the muddy sections.

Cold without snow is a waste... My parents grew up in Far Rockaway and Belle Harbor from the mid 40's until they went to O'side in 1970 with a short stint in Brooklyn in the late 60s. They talked about the whole neighborhood spending the night on the beach many times in the 50s. My mom went to the beach or her neighbors cabana and and my dad's house was a few up from the beach so they put mattresses out on the 2nd floor porches. Those same 2nd floor porches were where they'd watch the ocean come up the street during big storms a few times a year, was probably a few times in the decade but, ya know.

.5 so far @JustinRP37 There is no good way to appreciate these raw, gloomy days. You'd think that having had so many my basement workshop rooms would be clean and organized...
-
I'm so fkn sick of mud
-
I have friends in Tahoe that have been asked to bring extra clothes when they come to work Friday so they can stay until Monday.
-
To tell ya the truth, yes I would rather have a nickel and dime 20" over the 4 shots it took to get me there this year with one of those being a foot. Isn't 10 or so small events preferable to 4? My recollection as a kid in the 70s was winter seemed to last for a while even if it wasn't significant snowfall compared to the recent cool shots between nice days.

I just said that in another thread. My yard is too soft to do a real walk around but it's a mess with sticks and branches down and all of the tall flowering weeds that I let go are down and broken. Cleanup is gonna take a while this year.
-
I had a few minutes of drizzle. I might've seen some wet flakes. It's beautiful out now and the last of my snow is going away. The yard is too soft to walk around but it's a mess.
-
I had a dense coating of translucent grey glop near a half inch thick as this moved in. It dumped for a half hour and accumulated well then melted right off.
-
Yup they finished it but then it rained before the event and it had to come down.
-
I remember waiting for the radar every 10 minutes and comparing it to what I was seeing outside. Heh, I still do that but it started back around 1980.
-
Saranac Lake had time to build the ice castle on the lake ice for their winter carnival but the day before the temps torched and it poured rain. They had to pull the castle fown and cancel a bunch of stuff.
-
I'm down to 1" on 30% of the property now. Drove past a few freezer hillsides this afternoon where it still looks good but it's just a short matter of time for them too.
-
Gonna stop at an organic stuff nursery on Monday and grab some soil. Time to start making food
-
...and there it goes... I got a bit over 3 weeks of snowpack! Blech

I wish my brain was wired differently and I did nerdy stuff like keep records, or at least informal notes, about stuff like you guys keep weather records. You'd think it would've come to me to do things like that, since I was a kid I used to like reading Thomas Jefferson and others weather accounts from back then but my lazy brain never told me to do it. The other thing that totally gets me is I didn't do more to clear the yard for better light and plant fruit trees when I moved to this property in 1996. Man I'd love to have a mixed assortment now especially considering how expensive good produce has gotten. The hindsight that comes with age is both entertaining and frustrating at the same time as the 'coulda shoulda woulda' thing gets into your head. I think they call it wisdom but I hesitate to attribute that word to me I bet that @rclab has some insight
