Wam, bam, the soaking rains just keep coming. If we can stretch this out a day or two maybe it can be a rainout for my birthday on the 7th.
-
I'm a few hundred miles west, did it really rain and inch this morning already? Guess I didn't need to be concerned that the heat was gonna be a problem for the garden...
-
Captain Lou lived pretty close to me and was a partner at a tire shop a mile away. I used to see him often. He was quite a character
-
Yeah the bugs are a bit worse but still manageable and most things are still growing and doing ok. We are going out of town for 3 days though so it will be unattended...
-
I dunno, the 87/88 I dealt with this afternoon was pretty hot and uncomfortable. Maybe it wouldn't be quite as unpleasant if the AC in my car worked but it was hot.
-
You'd need to remove tens of billions of gallons... Ultimately any water we use on land will eventually make its way to the ocean so there would be no effect on sea levels.
-
A 3 week winter... kinda like the one we just went through, same timing too.
-
It's not too bad if you sit still in the shade. Garden came through pretty well, a few split open tomatoes, a few plants that will hopefully like living in the ground and some that had to have more stakes added. Hopefully it stays warm and dry for a few days and the mildew and blight stays manageable. Median of the stations on the hill is just over 3" for Henri and 1.8 two days before. Wet week but we got off easy compared to many.

These popcorn showers today are definitely not the kind of popcorn I like.

^^ Yup. These totally soaking showers in between sunny spots are making the air just horribly wet. The mushrooms around the yard are loving it.
-
Yep here too but I'd call it something more like - dense moderate - thoroughly soaking, medium droplet size and falling fast.
-
Up to .9 since the rain started back up early this morning and it's still on the heavy side of moderate. More wind too

Picked up another half inch since the pivot started, puts me around 2.3" total.
-
1.75 so lotsa water but less than the late week deluge last week.
-
1.5 with heavy rain for the last half hour or so. I'm betting there's some flooded roads below me on the hill, it's really coming down.
-
Oh yeah - ~.8" so far, no wind and no drama. I like the no damage thing but it hasn't been much of a storm.
-
I was wondering if that was still active, it never shows up on searches. I remember seeing historical reports and obs from there (before my time ).

I've had some moderate to very occasionally heavy rain but it's mostly been pretty light and steady most of the day. Up to ~.8 around the hill. We were out for a while earlier and there's some damage, power was out in most of the Carmel shopping district from a downed power line and there were a few rotten branches down but that's it. Of all the places a hurricane could end up in, central CT and moving WNW is not where I would have expected. Weather is a trip...
-
That would really depend on when this thing stops moving WNW and turns to the N or NE wouldn't it? I'd be ok if it just moved out or fizzled...
-
~.2 so far with an occasional breeze. Meh... Soggy

These Floyd references being thrown around are disturbing. I've seen some heavy duty rain, 11" in an afternoon in Cordova AK was pretty intense but, Floyd was 14+ in just a few hours. I don't need to see that again. Irene devastated the Catskills and you can still see the scars in VT. We don't need any of that either. Guess I need to go fill some gas cans in the morning, this is looking like a power going out kind of storm. Yay.
-
Ahh, thanx for asking I spent an hour or so staking and tying the tomato plants up a little better because a bunch of them had flopped over. I should know if the kinks in the stems and stalks affect things but as of now they look pretty good. I did manage to pull a half dozen nice ones today so that's good. The peppers are mostly ok but one shed all of it's blooms and the small peppers that had already set I think the melons are in love with all the water and the warmth, the bees are totally enjoying it! Strawberries are happy (and tasty) and the raspberries set another whole round of berries Looks like I hit 2", highest total in a few months.
-
Average of the stations on my hill is 1.9" since midnight.
-
Flooding - check Tornado warned - check 1.5" so far, gutters overflowed, street was a river that completely overwhelmed the storm drains and ran over into the downhill side yards. I'm afraid to look at the garden...
-
Lol. It was dry for the one we went to do maybe I'll break your streak by being at this show.
