Once that last shower went thru around 2 it cleared up, dried out and got kinda nice.

It has been in and out drizzle all day here, the last shower went through around 2.

So hot on the beach at Misquamicut yesterday and it's melty warm in Westerly today. Sea breeze? Meh...

Hey @wdrag I know you have some New England experience so... Do you think this makes it to the RI coast as strong as it could be here? We have a two day outdoor festival that we've paid for the booth space and it's rain or shine so I need to know how to prepare. Thanks -
My potatoes were doing better than I've ever had and then the wet... I can't even dig them up to try and save them, it's so wet the skins will just rip. I'm so bummed. So far the tomatoes are ok but my expectations for that to continue are pretty low. Lettuce is gone, peppers are pretty much useless and not producing, beans are slooow and brassiccas are also on their way out prematurely. I hope we get a chance at a second season.

I stayed in the low to mid 70s. It's 71 now.

Soggy...

Just start the winter cancel thread around Halloween and save the frustration.
-
Yeah I'll send you some 4 legged critters that like tomatoes if you feel like you have too many. You can keep them when they're done so they can help you next time too.

Man oh man, we were already having one of the most lush and heavy growth years in I can't even remember how long with plants growing that I've never seen around here and some that are going through a flower and seed cycle that haven't in 20 years or more. This recent wet cycle has put everything into overdrive! This may actually be a bad thing as the deer have unlimited food right now and they're stronger and healthier looking than they've been in quite some time. I've also seen way more babies than I have in a long time, bears too. I already have a few friends needing new cars due to them...

That's our thing now too. I need to make it sale ready because we've pretty much had it with living here. 2 years and the kid should be graduating from grad school so we need to maintain this place to keep the in state rates until at least then. Her twin will hopefully start grad school in January so that puts us at 2.5 years until we can leave. I'd rather not have to do all of this stuff under duress though as old systems fail, I kind of want to make things nice rather than just fixed. FlexSeal works pretty good in chimney leaks. Looks like 1.6" will about do it for this morning wetness, we'll see what happens with that back edge line rolling eastward if it stays together and gets us wet this afternoon. The wells ought to be refreshed now so #bringbackthedrought

Yeah the last year and a half has put this old house through the wringer. 4 of us here almost all the time have overused every system in the house. I've had hvac, electrical and plumbing issues, we had to replace the septic tank and pipe from the house a few weeks ago, the washer and dryer are worn out, the tub rusted out around the drain closer thing and 2 more trees have come down wrecking the fence in the yard. That's the second tank replacement in just a few years. We got rooked by a lying, thieving, slimeball of a septic guy who did shitty work then lied to us and made it worse over the ensuing time. Don't ever use Evan's Septic for anything, Charlie is a waste of oxygen. The gutter is overflowing because the wood behind the fascia is rotting so it's sagging a little. Old... damn.

Over an inch since about 5am. The water is winning Found a (new) leak in the roof and there's water about to start coming up through the basement floor from overflowing gutters on the downhill side. Blech, old houses...

Pouring again

Another super heavy cell just slid by to my east. Nice light show but only a little bit of rain. Stations around the hill are still between .2 and .35.
-
We were in Carmel at the supermarket when the storm rolled in, it absolutely fkn POURED between there and home. Here at the homestead it looks like ~.2 to maybe .25 but 3 miles north it's 1.2 and 4 miles north it's 1.9! What a difference in a really short distance. Woof. @Juliancolton that sux. Sorry dude. Want me to bring some cold beer tomorrow if things aren't too terrible for traveling?
-
7"!! Damn... My yard is gonna be in the street
-
Months? That's encouraging I agree, it will be a disaster. But still shy of Floyd in 1999, 14+ inches along the Taconics in Putnam and southern Dutchess and 15-16 in eastern Patterson and Pawling.
-
I had really heavy rain for a minute or 3. Just enough that the slugs will come back out to play in the garden. Is your power still out?
-
That's why I didn't plant corn this year. I lost almost all of it close to harvest time and it frustrated the isht out of me. Thankfully this one didn't hurt but it's so wet the bugs are back in force. I drowned a couple dozen this morning.
-
.4 it rained hard but not for very long. Every time it rains it brings the bugs. My garden was a mess this morning, filled with Japanese Beetles and slugs just munching away and shutting on and sliming everything. I literally drowned over 2 dozen beetles in a few minutes.

Holy poop dudes! If you're in Westchester County get outside and watch this front roll over you. Do it now! Turning and twisting and lifting and falling and a constant low grumble you feel in your belly. Do it

Those storms to the NW gonna make it down here? They look like they're drying up as they get closer but since I have car work to do in the driveway they're bound to make it here soon aren't they?
