I'm getting tired of stomping those things. I haven't seen them in my yard yet but they are just a few miles south of me. They were all over the beach at Jones Beach when I was there a few days ago. Yuck.
We finished grilling and drinking beer around 9,when I let the dogs out around 3am it was soaked and I hadn't put the grill cover on or covered the chairs. Now the chairs are a mess with squashed and soggy berries from the chokecherry tree over them
The skeeters and other assorted stinging, biting little bastids have been horrible. I gave up and mostly wear jeans, socks and shoes even when it's really warm because I hate being itchy when I'm driving and I spend a ton of time behind the wheel.
That's a pretty cool storm going on in WNY and points west and north.
Absolutely beautiful here now, ~75° with a light breeze and 50% humidity with deep blue skies.
It's black and grey with big cloud tops just to my N and W, overhead is the mixing zone and to my E it's clear and blue skies. It's been like this for about a half hour now.
I ended up with .8 total. It rained hard but nothing like a few minutes north of here. Brewster is at least a half inch higher and as Julian said it keeps going up as you go further north. My daughter said the ride home from work in Danbury was scary with trees and branches down and inches of water on the road.
