My wife has a handmade business and does craft fairs 2 or 3 weekends a month. Well, her income has been reduced by 2/3 since June. That hurts. My customers tend to do ~75% of their business on Friday and Saturday, as expected that's taken a solid hit so my income has also been fkd up. At this point it's too late to make any of that back as the outdoor season is winding down so for us at least, it's not just being disappointed.

I'm at the CT garlic fest and the garlic farmer I was talking to a little while ago said that as long as the ground is soft enough to get the bulb in there it's not too late. His best case scenario for late planting is as it starts snowing so it insulates it.

2.8 Yup, we're gonna run out of time
-
2.8 and not currently raining but the wind is up.
-
2.7 today (so far)
-
It kinda looks like this thing is moving thru now. Hopefully that means the rain tapers down soon. That would be nice.
-
Up to 2.45 for today. The roads are sketchy between the amount of water and the leaves down. Be careful when you go to get beer and Powerball tix.

Yeah all of us up here that are already over 50" for the year don't rate high enough for a thread. I get it.
-
Got a little pre-soak going on with fog so heavy it's misting. Yay
-
Yeah they're a thing and it sucks. The only things that have come into our fenced yard in the last 10 years are plants from nurseries. Now I have all sortsa horrible invasives. That's why I didn't plant much for foodstuffs this year, I was hoping for another drought year to cook the soil under black plastic. It didn't work out that way...

Fog's so thick I can't see the houses the next street downhill.
-
Another morning with super dense fog... Between all the rain and so many crazy wet mornings like this everything is soggy, mildewed and moldy with obvious rot on anything wood that's untreated. Aesthetically it sux because the colors are muted due to fungus and mold but it's given invasives a fantastic environment to overwhelm that natives. The jumping worm population is off the hook and I recently found hammerhead worms in the yard. Yesterday I found one a foot long! Fuggin YUCK

Nah, more like early September not August.
-
^ Yeah, I might have to do that on Wednesday

I thought half the county was in the process of washing into the Hudson based on the radar. Nice to hear that it isn't. Meanwhile here I'm around 3.3, as low as 3 at the Somers Mesonet station and a couple of WU stations as high as 3.7. The roads are surprisingly good but there's a lot of water pooling and running across the roads and inch or two deep. It can stop now.

@Juliancolton what's your total so far?
-
I'm over 15" for the month. Approaching 3" today. If it snows like this even once this coming winter I'll be happy. This would be over 10" per hour!

2.2 and it's pouring

1.6

Yay! No...

I've had a few quick shots of drizzle and mist. It seems that the atmosphere is now saturated and primed. Won't take much to set it off methinks.
-
Damn that has me really close to that 12" max. Fuggg

Hoping this incoming deluge moves through by early Saturday morning, my wife has a booth at the fair at the Dutchess Fairgrounds and it's rain or shine so I have to set up no matter what. The only upside is the brewery and distillery section inside one of the pavilions.

I was in Oceanside and not right on the water. I got 14" of rain here in Mahopac from Irene. I was 19 and had already earned my weather weenie badge hence the memory of the eye and how cool that was. I guess it was more significant east of western Nassau because I don't remember it being more than a windy, rainy day.
