    Funny how just a bit of rain and it goes from dusty to soggy. I like how slowly this happened, the soil opened up and went from hardpan to soft and absorbent and now everything in the garden looks happy again. I was thinking that I miss Julian around here, he hasn't been around since what, the end of the winter? What happened to that guy? I hope he's ok.

    Finally a nice steady rain, totals jumped from ~.05 to .15 pretty quickly.

    5.5 hours of dense fog with drizzle and occasional light rain has the surface thoroughly soaked now. Prepped and ready for more For real though, if we get decent rain the next few days it won't just run off the hardpan.

    Drizzle overnight and dense fog since about 5am. Surfaces are finally soaked and the plants are loving it.

    2" centered over me. I hope it starts slow so the ground softens before the heavy stuff or the runoff will be painful.

    Doh, ended up with 47 seconds of drizzle. Just enough to splatter the dust on the cars and make them look shitty.

    Fake news. it looks like it's raining here but... no

    This is the first time in 15 months my front yard has gone brown. One more mow to chop up the leaves and that's it

    ^^ Pretty much all non-native species.

    That's what I alluded to when I said the wrong types of grass. My lawn, such as it is, is lush and vibrant summer green. I've never used store bought seeds or fertilizer and never ever water it. I do the no-mow thing in the spring in the backyard then strip thousands and thousands of seeds and spread them in the front. Are they all natives? Probably not but they're strong and self sufficient.

    I dunno, yeah it hasn't rained in a bit but the dew has been thick on the clear mornings and the rest have been foggy. It's crazy dense again this morning, so much so that it sounds like rain falling off the trees. The only stuff in my garden that's needed watering is the hanging plants in coir baskets, that stuff gets parched in just a few hours of sun. After 95+ inches of rain in ~14 months the soil moisture is still good a few inches down. If your lawn is browned out you have the wrong mix of grasses.

    The disparity between the haves and have nots over the last 15 months is huge. I move around a lot and the differences are so noticable, from parched to lush and back in a couple of hours.

    Can you post a link to that when it's done? I'm interested...

    I've always thought of September as a dry month if we don't have a tropical storm of some sort.

    So far... Kinda like calling winter over on Feb 15 then we get two blockbusters after that.

    47° for the low here

    Can we please have today's weather on Saturday
  18. gravitylover
    So where's Julian? It looked like his backyard got rocked today while the rest of us stayed dry.
  19. gravitylover
    Yeah they shut the Dutchess County Fair early as the storm crushed the fairgrounds. It slid by to my east.

    It's amazing just how much water fell in such a small area in so little time.

    That cell near Mahopac in the screenshot missed me to the east by maybe a mile. I watched the rain shield slide by and all I got was a few wind driven drops.
  22. gravitylover
    ^^ I think it's a cold pool aloft. Yes.
  23. gravitylover
    The ground is warm and the wind never died so the temp stayed up. The radar looks wintry with popcorn cells moving south. The air upstairs must be pretty cold.

    I grabbed the hoodie for my 51° morning garden walk. Some things you just have to do
  25. gravitylover
    51° low here
