I got that shower for you.
-
That bit of sun with now wind was nice this morning. Too bad it couldn't last...
-
You don't have mud season because you live on a fkn sandbar! Some of us don't Please stop with the weather mod bullshit.
-
No you wouldn't. Yeah, I'm thinking popcorn type stuff tomorrow.
-
Meh, I just did a garden walk and drank a cup of coffee wearing nothing more than sweats and a fleece bathrobe.
-
.9 for the 2 days. Yup, plenty of mud.
-
Yeah the couple of sunny days were pretty good. If the new growth doesn't drown, on the next 75° day you'll probably be able to see stuff growing!
-
Speaking of gardens, everything is starting sooo slow. I dunno, maybe I'm just impatient but... I want fresh veggies!
-
.35 today and it's pouring now.

There's a property somewhere in Arizona just waiting for you...

.75 since yesterday afternoon but 3.8" since 5/2. I could definitely see a quick inch causing some flash flooding issues, the water doesn't really have anywhere to go now so it's just going to run off. -
Total since the beginning of the wet period is 4" now, .74 since yesterday afternoon. It was dry on Wednesday but nothing really dried out so it's just soggy now.
-
Yeah the difference over the last 2 weeks is pretty amazing. These last few days finally got it wet below 10" down, I still had crumbly soil a foot down when I put in some bushes last week.
-
Radar kinda looks like another long slug is gonna move S to N through the city/western LI and up east of the River.
-
2.33 so far
-
Ooh ooh, the .2 so far is about useless to help the deep soil moisture problem.
-
Well that was fun. I got caught in the torrential downpour in Danbury and drove through it most of the way home as it pivoted and slid into a SW>NE line that set up just south and east of me. I got to watch it slide by, rumbling and grumbling while backlit by bright sun. Unfortunately I only got .12, not much help for the low soil moisture situation.
-
Heavy rain and big thunder overnight. .4 in just a few minutes. The town hwy dept garage 1.5 miles away recorded .78!
-
FWIW, the ticks are terrible this year, absolutely terrible. We have an expert here that might be able to give us more details, maybe @JustinRP37 has some good data for us.
-
Seeing it laid out like that is interesting. I move around a lot and some areas seem to handle low soil moisture better than others. N and W are so much more heavily forested that it makes more of a difference.
-
Meant to say less than 70% so down 30. I looked recently and Q1 was down about 4", so not met winter but close. You also got quite a bit more frozen precip than I did.
-
So your unofficial definition is more important than reality and you continue to defend it? That's pretty arrogant. Go 6-8" down and the soil is holding less than 30% of the moisture it should be and as that gets sucked dry by all the foliage doing it's thing everything dries out from the bottom up if it doesn't rain every few days. It's going to look green but it's constant stress on those plants. It's at least 8-9" down since September and only had about 30% of the normal winter precip. My unofficial definition of drought apparently syncs up with that of NOAA because their map shows D1.
