Many times the zoning outside of town limits is more agreeable to alternative housing options, a lot of times there aren't many restrictions other than meeting basic building codes depending on the size of the property.

Just hold that rain off until 11pm or so.
-
Yes we do. No it isn't. Have you seen some of the reservoirs? Did you know that NY State is about to see it's worst strawberry harvest in decades? It's really dry... I'd rather not have a wet week but sometimes it's necessary.
-
Make it hold off until at least 11pm Wednesday. Thanx.
-
Yeah but the end result was a period of non winters other than the cold, which was ultimately just annoying, but did allow ski areas and snowmakers to learn how to make snow for us to play in/on. The one or maybe two storms a year were usually a letdown. The last 30 years have been spectacular so your perspective is kinda skewed. Maybe you should hook yourself up with a nice home snowmaking setup.

I guess ya don't remember the 70s and 80s.

Well will ya look at that, this thing has multiple lives. I think we should name it Felix.

.47 for the week, the ground is dry about 1" down depending on soil type and just damp under the trees. I need at least another inch, 3 more would be even better. I'm starting to wonder what the well is gonna be looking like soon...
-
Useless, that's what it was. The soil is powder dry 2" down in the hanging baskets and about an inch on the ground. I'm glad I didn't put all the effort into the garden like the last few years and also glad that so many of the plants I do have going are native or are at least N American woodland varieties. I just got back from another 800 mile loop through the Adirondacks and North Country then down through the Berkshires and Taconics. It's dry, many creeks are dry or nearly so until you get into the high country and they're still moist from snowmelt and mt rains. The North Country agricultural areas are parched, there were dust storms along the t-storm fronts and then it barely rained when the storms got to where I was. Another observation is the huge areas of mostly standing dead trees (all around upstate). I assume they're mostly ash and pines but it seems like a few other species are very weak and hardly have any leaves. NY is seeing a bunch of different effects of the new climate regime.

.25, so .47 for the week.
-
The .4 that I've gotten over 2 days has made my plants very happy. I'd sure like to get some more but this looks like it's inching north and there's no round 2 for us.
-
.25 in the first round. I drove through some crazy heavy showers in northern Dutchess on the Taconic a while ago. Finally cleaned the bugs off my grill and bumper That big bowling ball headed towards us is pretty cool on radar.
-
.14. Meaningless. The ground is still powdery dry a half inch down and I'm sure the surface will be all powdery duff again by the end of the day. At least it rinsed the dust off some of the flowers and they look nice.

.14
-
That's almost too much.
-
Better but the AQI of ~170 here still sucks.
-
^^ I thought so too. There's also less bird activity.
-
We need one of those too. Which one do you have?
-
Yuck. This sux.
-
What are the chances that the smoke hinders the heating just enough to keep the storms down?
-
Oh boy oh boy, .01! What little I did for a garden this year looks funny (sad?) with all of the plants leaves cupped and reaching for more.
-
It's so weird, it's raining (with thunder and lightning) right now Too bad it won't wash the smoke away.
-
I drove up to Rochester today and the smoke got progressively worse. Visibility is well under 10 miles where I am now in Seneca Falls. AQI is over 150 and my eyes hurt.
-
I'm resisting flipping the switch at night but it might be necessary. It was 54 in my living room this morning. That's enough to make a body achy. Here comes the smoke again
-
Yeah 1 mile west got pummeled and ~1 mile east got almost an inch of rain in the second round. Nada for me
