Not dry here. Sure it hasn't rained much this month but the ground is still wet and muddy and the Croton River and all of the reservoirs here are as high as they can be. It's wet right up through Dutchess County and NW CT.
We had already been skiing in the high country along the Divide for almost 2 months at this point. There had been a few storms that dropped a foot or more. This storm was the final push the ski area needed before opening day a few days later. The area opened to the top which almost never happens and the conditions were more like midwinter than November.
It was super light. I wouldn't even have known if I hadn't looked at the light just right and then put a piece of dark metal down to see the micro pellets bounce. I'm betting most observers would've missed it.
No thanks. Trees down means no power means no heat. How bout we keep the wind south of Sunrise Hwy, heck I'll even give you LI Sound, just don't let it cross the bridge. Thanks.
At least you saw snow today. It was all around me but failed to find my hill.
All the freeze watch stuff doesn't have my area in it, I haven't already gone below freezing (that I'm aware of).
Damn! So close and I got bupkis
Re: Garden - Mine gave up because it's just too wet and it hasn't really dried out since early September but the marigold bush is thriving and I'm still getting a cup of plump, tasty raspberries nearly every day
Yup. As stuff started giving up in mid September the ground got softer (if that was possible). Now it's just spongy.
@wdrag Heh, the reservoirs are only that low up here because they've had the gates open for weeks. My local ponds are past bankful and the creeks rage 24/7.
