All it took was a wee bit of moisture the last few days and the mosquitoes are out in force
-
I just had a 2 minute sunshower roll through. I love how the sun fires up the back of storm cells this time of day, it makes it look all black and sinister with splashes of color.
-
Starting off cool and moist 66/66. I guess I should be appreciating the fog.
-
Ya gotta love when plants are wilting because the roots are thirsty but the leaves are dripping wet and happy green.
-
.3" The ground under the trees is damp but not wet and under the bigger garden plants it's totally dry.

.3"

In public Rubber band snap theory and all that...
-
Ooh ooh it has me at .1-1.5! Yay...
-
It was dry before the sun came up.
-
It's drizzling and everything is wet! It's so weird
-
Was it clear or ...
-
The radar is lying right now. I had 37 raindrops and that was a while ago.
-
Yup for me too.
-
Today's minor wetness crossed the river then dried up as it lifted over the Highlands and west slope of the Taconics.*poof*
-
I got enough raindrops to wet some of the plant leaves in my garden. Yay.
-
The humidity is gone which is nice but if I didn't know I did it I wouldn't be able to tell that the garden got a good, deep soak yesterday while it was wet from the rain. It is awfully nice out there this morning so get outside and enjoy it.

I won't water the yards, I hesitate to call what I have lawns. I went and added it again and it was 2.3 (including today's .06) since 6/10. Of that only 2 events were over .5 and most were under .1. Those small events are as close to useless as it gets when the soil is duff 6-8" down and it doesn't get past the trees either so effectively I've had 1.6" that mattered.

It was dry but sufficiently moist to get the growing season off to a good start. Then it dried out by the middle of the second week of June and it just keeps getting worse. A few days ago I added it up from two of the closest stations to me and it's under 2" in 6+ weeks. Today looks like it's nothing more than drizzle, wind and clouds unless there's something else later. The reservoirs all seem to be holding strong but the feeder creeks and the Croton River are way down.
-
The sun popped through for about 4 minutes and the temp jumped 5°. Now the wind is up as the clouds fill back in.
-
I've had dense clouds since a little after 5:30 this morning and it's still 79/76. If you're thirsty just inhale deeply...
-
I got . 01. I'm kind of surprised it even registered as the few drops literally evaporated as they got near the ground. So it looks like we're gonna get wet soon but will it split or fall apart as it gets here like everything else this year?
-
I'm under 1.5" for the month, this says over 2.5. This outflow boundary that's moving through is pretty cool. Big wind and awesome clouds.
-
That's some crazy wind and black, bubbly clouds out there right now. Good show
-
The misting is just to cool the surfaces down, the soil doesn't usually end up more than damp but I find much happier plants when I do it on these hot days. When I'm watering deeper I only go right at the base of the plant so it dries more quickly than if I do a full soak so it needs a second shot. It uses a lot less water and keeps the leaves and soil dry so I have less disease, rot and bugs.
