0.00 on the stein gauge. 

When the planes are taking off over my house we know stein has arrived.

Wonder if these storms hold together to hit Fenway.

South shore stein inevitable. Tumbleweeds and burnt lawns for the 4th.

Business trip in ft Lauderdale. Entire sky lit up. I'm weening out and customers are like this is every night all summer . Once maybe twice a summer we get a coastal light show.

84 for the high with a seabreeze.

We’ve had some heavy rain events, but we seem to be lacking in storms recently. Lots of WAR type summers keeping the shortwaves to our northwest. Though his town had a heck of a storm about a year ago lol. 

lots of rain in the spring but nothing like the hailers or microbursts of yore. 

I can't tell you how many times we got caught on boats as kids.  No phones no radar, fishing offshore and by the time you saw cloud tops it was too late.  

 SW CT and the New Haven area have mostly non profit water companies with dirt cheap water. I run my irrigation every day and it adds maybe $40 to my bill. I think a CCF which is like 750 gallons cost me like $2. 
 

My water bill for the summer running my irrigation 3 days a week will be $3k on town water.

They've jacked water rates sky high to discourage irrigation. New well is $12-$15k. I can't get the minister of finance to approve this for a green lawn.

General observation while in SW connecticut this weekend.   Son had a lacrosse tournament in Darien/New Canaan area.  Barring the extreme wealth and nearly every home probably having a well, overall its just much greener than Eastern mass.  We never get thunderstorms anymore.  Tuesdays threat looks like it stops in Worcester as does most threats.  Every summer we start off strong in the spring and then it turns into a dust bowl in EMA.   Lawns are complete toast here already.

This post by you amarshall, is by far one of the finest and most classiest I have ever read on any forum, anywhere, in the past 20 years. It's on my new phpBB3 SciWx Forum and on my new MediaWiki wiki. I have to move 20 years worth of memories from SciWx 1 because Invision Power Boards has visions of grandeur; they will be charging 100 dollars a MONTH for IPB boards like AmWx. IPB executives have Mediterranean and Cancun yachts that you and I will pay for. I am doing a lifewide review of everything in the past 60 years that I can remember experiencing and this post of yours is most assuredly top shelf. SNE/NNE Posters have got some of the most incredible stories of all time and I am archiving many of what I think are THE BEST in the past 20 years. Especially in the Skiing Thread here.

Thank you. *Blushing*

Love the new updated SE mass drought.  I can tell you there's standing water everywhere.  Mosquitos are going to be the size of birds.  This drought map is nonsense 

 

 

 

My Davis must’ve gotten oak dongs in it . I’m directly under the 7.13

5.45 Duxbury.  Most of state of massachusetts shellfish beds shut down . Luckily we harvested yesterday for mem day weekend business. 

wind train in my hood

Media had family members whipped up into a frenzy.  Instead of cold windy day, 6pm news last night WAS BREAKING WEATHER ALERT 

.49" Duxbury and rising fast.  

Left foggy Duxbury for Cape cod and its 60 and sunny. Bizarro world. 

Morning run musings. At the end of no mow may is some poor sap husband or landscaper who gets stuck with a check he cant cash. 

You want no mow may, mow it yourself.

Who do you use?

Lawns by Fran

I use a fertilizer service. They came yesterday to put down Dimension.   They're the best on the South Shore, waiting list to get on as a customer.  I can't believe how late they put down preemergent every year but it works.  I know a lot of other people put it down almost a month earlier. 

The backdoor of consequence rarely comes lubed. 

in the backyard in a loin cloth about to grill, and it dropped 20 degrees.
