Still a lot of them here, but mostly sub 40ft trees under the pine/oak/hemlock canopy. I've been noticing the first BLD in them this year. There's still a lot of sickly, spindly, tall elms down by the "stream" too.
The stream in our back woods is bone dry…not even a puddle or wet spot. I’ve never seen it like that. The ferns out there are brown. Most trees that are 10-20ft or smaller are wilting. The lawn crunches when walking on it. Hopefully we get a little tonight to moisten up the surface so it can all soak in Sat.
I think we'll do more than a quarter inch through the weekend. Probably widespread 0.50-1.00" with the chance for 1"+ in spots. NNE is probably favored, but any rain helps. Gotta start somewhere.
Concord got an inch last week. I was down there Saturday and you could tell…the lawns greened back up and there were puddles. But in town here looks like Arizona. I’m afraid to water my potted trees with how slow the well is to refill. Hopefully Fri/Sat delivers something substantial.
