About .15" from the past storm brings me up to about the same as you. 4.09" since 8/1

Enjoyed my .13" last night. Just windy and raw. Streams are basically dry. Drought continues on and on....

I agree. A couple of days ago I had to drive down to PA. I went west and down I 91. Very little color. Franconia Notch had some good color the weekend before this past one. Meanwhile, your heading to the Outer Banks this weekend. GFS now has a 988mb low sitting just off the coast. Could be some tough going down there with flooding. More houses into the ocean?

83.2F today! Foliage update: We had pretty good color coming on before our big rain event the other day. Now for whatever reason the colors are very muted. We drove up to Franconia Notch and there was not much color until we got into the Lincoln/ North Woodstock area. Once in the notch, it seemed to be around peak. Not vibrant colors but definitely pretty darn good. There was very little traffic and the parking lots at Cannon did have cars but not near full. It was a spectacular day. Of course, by Columbus Day weekend when the crowds arrive there will mostly just be sticks. Here is a picture from my phone without any post-processing.

Another beautiful day. The foliage is weird or maybe it's just me being weird. The colors were coming on strong just before the rain 2 days ago. We did have some leaf fall during the storm but not very much. Now the tree leaves seem more green. I don't think that is possible but perhaps it's just what was turning colors did fall off the trees.

Looks like things are about over here. I'll double check tomorrow but I believe we're at 2.78 in. That's more rain than has fallen in the last 3 months. I wonder if they'll be time for the brown grass to Green up a little bit before the heavy Frosts set in

Rainstorm is over. .08" That brings me to .28" for September after .35" in August. I wonder if I got 1" on Thursday, if that would even get any flow going in the streams?

.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.
