    Dry and warm here.

    That was my first winter with a drivers license. I used to borrow dads car after dropping him at the train station. At least once a week I'd leave from there to go skiing rather than to school. I'd drive up to Hunter and ski all day then get back in time to pick him up. I almost missed a few times It was a good winter on LI but only in relation to the times, it was an average (which meant pretty good) winter in the Catskills. Sorry all for the thread drift...

    Dude that fall was brutal. HS senior year at OHS started out horribly uncomfortable.

    Yup. I'm getting worried that they're going to start making a home in the ground or somewhere less than obvious and I won't see it until it's too late. Three and a half day away with not maintenance and the garden took a beating. Mildew completely took over all 8 melon vines and the weight of tomatoes brought most of those plants down but where they aren't overrun with blight they're still flowering and producing nicely while existing fruit is still ripening slowly. Peppers are doing nicely but the beans are done. Looks like plenty more rain incoming.

    The maple in front has been dropping slowly for 2 weeks and is starting to show some color, the pos chokecherry in the back is dumping blighted leaves into the garden for a month and the sheer volume of berries coming down is insane. It's easily 2-3" deep under the tree and that's after thousands, millions?!, are rotting and drawing tons of wasps.

    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.
  13. gravitylover
    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.
  15. gravitylover
    ^^ Yup. These totally soaking showers in between sunny spots are making the air just horribly wet. The mushrooms around the yard are loving it.
  16. gravitylover
    Yep here too but I'd call it something more like - dense moderate - thoroughly soaking, medium droplet size and falling fast.
  17. gravitylover
    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
  18. gravitylover
    Picked up another half inch since the pivot started, puts me around 2.3" total.
  19. gravitylover
    1.75 so lotsa water but less than the late week deluge last week.
  20. gravitylover
    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.
  21. gravitylover
    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.
  22. gravitylover
    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 ).
  23. gravitylover
    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...
  24. gravitylover
    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...
  25. gravitylover
    ~.2 so far with an occasional breeze. Meh... Soggy
