  1. Yup I'm gonna ask for a point forecast... Friday afternoon/evening at Citi Field looks ok doesn't it? Dry and warm, right? Thanx
  2. The heat over the weekend seems to have kicked things into high gear here. Tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, beans and melons are going crazy. The herbs that haven't gone to flower are very happy and the flowers are incredible all over the yard. Once I got some water into stuff they all got happy.
  3. Sorry all, I've been hiding on the beach on Fire Island. I gave the garden a good soaked before sunrise Friday morning hoping my kids would water this morning or it would rain today. Apparently it rained last night?
  4. I really don't have any way to know what's up with the well until it's too late. The depth it goes to though is about where the local reservoirs are at and they're bankfull so my hope is always that I'm tapping that resource. I'm probably wrong... I haven't even had a quarter inch combined for the month. I've had to water just about every day.
  5. #2- The garden needed to be watered this morning.
  6. Post volume increaser #1 as per JC's request - It's hot outside.
  7. It got to about 90 earlier while I was out and about but now a pretty thick cloud deck moved in and it's back to the mid 80s but it's stuffy, muggy and unpleasant. The .04" this morning was about useless for the garden.
  8. .04 so far this am and another line is about to pass through. Very unpleasant with 70/69 - 98%RH right now. edit: The second line was a dude, just a bit of drizzle that didn't register. Good thing those few hundredths soaked things, the garden looks very happy but, it's unpleasantly muggy now.
  9. 75, overcast and breezy after a wet and foggy night. I like it.
  10. I had a couple of hundredths this morning, ground was dry by 9. There have been a couple of periods of very light drizzle that didn't even wet the ground. It has been just enough moisture to make it really muggy.
  11. Will that move away for the weekend? We have an outdoor event on Fire Island that we've already paid for.
  12. Thin clouds ruined it last night, tonight looks like a fail too.
  13. Stellar day. Tonight looks dry and clear, perfect for some celestial viewing. I know Saturn is in Capricorn in the southern sky somewhere and Jupiter is a few degrees up and to the east. What's up with the meteor shower(s)? Perseids should be building but what about that other one from last week, is it still happening too?
  14. I've seen 3 and hear fewer than usual for this time of year. Brood X has been a non issue here.
  15. This hasn't been severe or even stormy but it is the most rain I've gotten in one event in a long time. Approaching .7 and it looks like it might even get heavier before it moves through.
  16. Is that what stunted the melon vine growth? They were going gangbusters gaining up to a foot a day and completely stopped yesterday. In two days cabbage worms just about devastated the brassiccas that survived the early season onslaught. I'm going to have to pull all of it and bag it. Sad
  17. I didn't even manage to hit .2 for the two days. The NNW side of my hill is around 1.25", over an inch difference! Soil moisture is very low in my yard.
  18. It tried to clear over me but the really thin clouds were to my east. The light under and across that part of the cloud deck turned yellow/green for a few minutes and some storms fired up and moved off to the NE quickly. It's rumbling and breezy with the occasional windblown raindrop and very muggy. My garden beds are dry 2" down and parched at 4" (again). One the upside I pulled over 5 pounds of potatoes today Gonna plant more now.
