    I've never called a report in. Since the turn of the century I've hoped that those that need to know follow the forums and the reports we post are seen and utilized. Is that too optimistic?

    Went from a reasonable .4 a little before 7pm to 1.7 by a little after 8pm. The wind was definitely worse than Fay delivered and it brought down some big branches and made another big mess in the garden that negated the hours I spent fixing yesterday's damage.

    That last round of storms came through in a rather dramatic fashion and dropped an inch in a pretty short time. The wind was worse than yesterday, the rain was much heavier and w lost some big tree branches in addition to more garden damage. Uggh

    Only another .4 so far today but it has been wet all day and now it's boomin' and rumblin' and raining pretty hard. #bringbackthedrought

    Stand still and sweat. Yuck.

    1.1" total. I may have saved most of the corn, I'm not totally confident but I am hopeful. We'll see. The tomatoes are probably gone but may be able to be replanted. Melons and squash are good. With the greens that are done coming out there's plenty of sunny room for root veggies so that's today's plan. I'm guessing you guys don't really care but it feels good to talk about it.

    So you're part of the problem. All that insecticide spraying is killing all of the beneficials and pollinators. Stop it!

    .85 Well that wind wreaked havoc on the garden. All of the corn is laying on the ground, lettuce too and 3 tomato plants are broken off at the base
  9. gravitylover
    It didn't take much to knock over the windward side corn plants

    Yeah I've had very little rain so that in itself isn't the problem, it's the wind and excessive rainfall rates that do garden damage that I don't want.

    I was hoping this storm would fizzle, I really don't feel like dealing with a TS at the moment but, since it looks like that won't happen it's time to get cleaned up in the yard and get some fresh gas for the generator. 3-5" of rain and a bit of wind could make things messy.

    I got .4" FKNA yeah!! Drought buster for sure Sun is coming out again Maybe the second line will hold together and come through later and I can pull a few more tenths. Friday looks interesting.

    I was on the road all day but watching the radar has been interesting. That storm cluster west of the river looks to have put down a lot of water. It pretty much sat and dumped for hours. Who got it and was it as much as it looked on a phone screen while driving?

    So it looks like todays storms will be further south and the mid Hudson Valley will be mostly dry, is that right? I need to run up to a little north of Albany and just want to know what to look forward to.
  15. gravitylover
    Nah, any higher than mid 80's is no good. 78-82 is perfect. Maybe you don't pay for the electric to run the AC or maybe you're just weird

    82/69 at the station a mile north and 85/72 a mile west. It's almost uncomfortable, few more minutes it will be for sure.

    More onshore flow More onshore flow ... I really don't feel the love for 90+ temps anymore.
  18. gravitylover
    Woohoo. I won't be directly under the cone of emptiness anymore.

    For all the storms and all the rain in the area I ended up with well under an inch for the week. It came at just the right intervals to keep the garden nicely watered though because it wasn't sunny enough for long enough to dry it out. That also means the bugs are going to town because it's been constantly damp. Hopefully the dry weekend puts them down and next week is similar. I don't need the heat like everyone else on the board. Weirdos
  20. gravitylover
    Overcast with thin clouds, temp is 85. It's muggy and uncomfortable.
  21. gravitylover
    *fizzle* It looked so good for so long. Again, I can pretty much see where it's raining as it slides by to my west. I'm getting some decent wind. Maybe it'll set the last 50 tomatoes that have been waiting out the heat and now that I've got some female flowers on the melons maybe those will pop too.

    Take a look at that storm complex headed south into Columbia and Dutchess County. That looks like the real deal. Duck...
  23. gravitylover
    Ha! The same thing happened to me. About a mile to my east was 1+ and I was in that light blue zone. All told I'm ok with it though because a couple of wet days in a row and the ground is soaked.
  24. gravitylover
    JC getting a good soaking today. Finally...
  25. gravitylover
    I'm getting some really light drizzle. It's really dark and thunder is rumbling just to my west, has been for over an hour.
