.21" this event. .56" August and September

Bring on the rain. First picture was June 16th.

Scott, to make it worse June was very dry after the rain on June 6/7th. 1.76" June after the good rain the first week of the month.

.04" overnight .34" August 1.43" July

No flowers this season. I actually have an older Chestnut tree down in our lower field that I planted about 2 years earlier than these. It is supposed to be blight resistant too. It didn't flower this season, but is about 4 feet taller than the one I pictured.

Brian, do you remember? We got these Chestnut tree saplings when they were like 10" tall. How many years ago was that? I have several growing, but I should have planted them closer for pollination when they get bigger.

We scored big. First we got .09" this morning and with a shower last hour another .21". I don't know how far that would get into the soil but now I have the sprinklers on. Maybe with a bit of moisture in the topsoil this will help a bit more. By the way 2 of those chestnut seedlings we planted several years ago are doing great.

I have a question about grass dormancy. I have never had the SW part of my lawn burn out like this. Just crunchy brown grass. Large areas of 0% green. If we don't get any substantial rain soon with little time for green up this season, will my lawn come back next year? If it is 100% brown? I guess I can have it overseeded, it's a large area.

So far in August I have had .007" of rain. In July I had 1.43" but it was all nickels and dimes with no one shower bringing more than .25". For June, I had a bit more than 3" but half of that was in the first week of the month. Our grass is brown and shrubs are wilting. Even lilacs. Lots of early leaf drop too. I'm glad we went into the summer with the water table being okay but the surface is amazingly dry. I think about farmers back in the day without deep wells and no way to irrigate crops. It must have been so scary back then, worrying about having enough food to last the winter.

My July rainfall was 1.43". On August 1 I received .01". Scored big time this morning with .06".

Vis is better but still lots of smoke. I can see the sunrays from the Cu. We had a brief popup shower just west of air but otherwise dry, dry, dry. (Tell Lisa I said hi)

Good day view and this morning but not a cloud to be found

Since buying this house in Central NH in 1989 I can say that this is definitely a new phenomenon over the past several years.

Hey Brian... The cell went between us. I got only around .25". I checked on our Newfound Lake Facebook page since there are quite a few people from Hill to Danbury. No reports of hail but I sure saw the signature on weather scope. How much rain did you get? We definitely need it for the gardens. Getting dry, at least on the surface. Oh, my Chestnut seedlings we got are now 10 foot high trees!

66/64 stratus 250 feet overhead. Only around .10" over the past many days. Can anyone spare an 1"?
