schools close here for wet roads and slush on the grass....silly

Here they close because it's supposed to be wintery at some point in the day. 

I have all sorts of stuff still blooming, the raspberries leaves are yellow and crumbling but it's still sending new canes and flowering. I'm still getting a cup a day of nice fresh berries. 

.8

.7 Non-stop rain since 9am 

Great. Thanx

What time are we thinking for the rain to start? 

Hey all. I have an outdoor thing in Bethpage on Saturday. What's the thinking, dry until at least 2 or rain earlier?

People are really so heartbroken over rainy weekends.

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.

2.15" here.

Not sure when I'll be able to plant my garlic without it just rotting. I know GL was talking that the other day too.

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.

Nothing really, except maybe north of NYC?  Except any rains that come are during the weekend, sigh...

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?

We definitely don’t need the rain out here, unlike earlier this summer, but it’s insane places just to our west and north could reach 10-15” of rain this month, especially after the same areas got that amount in july

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
