Since it feels amazingly like fall out this morning....what are my fall lawn care tips?

make sure you water your lawn. 

it seems like I haven't seen the sky this blue in months. it's gorgeous out-we take

It's insane to think that even 3-months ago everyone was crying drought...now look at us. 

by everyone, you mean only DIT, right?

Here's a better look.  Some portion of what's come so far should be added to this.

 

maybe wishful thinking, but that seems to be pretty high on the north side. I thought things were trending sort of south. 3" at MHT is nothing to shake a stick at

Damage of a different kind here in Southbury....

DIT just popped a woody

this is the one time in my life that i hope the Tolland mastiff is the jackpot, with a sharp north cut-off.

Cherry pick one day?

ok let's cherry pick one month. July-didn't you have around 18" of rain (I had 15"). my monthly avg temp was ~2 degrees BN. what was your July avg temp compared to normal?

Yup. Best summer of all our lives. Folks have enjoyed this immensely. No cold no Coc k . Just heat, dews and storms 

Yup. nothing screams enjoyable hot summer like a high temp of 57 degrees on July 3. best ever.

Quarries are still very popular here. There’s one by my house that you need to be invited to join through a current member. Otherwise, they kick you out.  There are a bunch around here though. 

i used to frequent a quarry in Rockport, it had a big crane hanging out over it. I crawled out on it to jump in the water one time, but i chickened out. It was seriously high.

i am really disappointed in my lawn this year, thanks to all the rain. red thread is running wild, and there are about 300 different species of mushrooms growing. Usually I aerate and overseed in the early fall, but going to skip it this year. it's just too wet to mess around with.

summer started out pretty dry with 3" May, 1.5" June. Since then, 15.5" July, 5.25" August, notso dry.

.25" sunday, 1" Monday (mostly after 6pm), 1.8" deluge overnight, all of which fell between 2 and 3:30am. 2.9" storm total. Up to just over 5" on the month. soggy times.

He right there on the graphic says Tropical storms. Thats my hometown,  ground zero for 38 and 54 hurricanes and worst damage in RI from Sandy 

look at the header of the graphic. It clearly says "Two Hurricane Paths".

Wow, I've only had 1.5" total since yesterday.   S of Pike storm.

just over 0.25" up here lol

Yeah we all want the big storm, but without having to live through the after effects lol.   Days/weeks w/o no power is brutal.

according to @weatherwiz, losing power is just an inconvenience

I would much rather lose power for a week then have flooding problems. Losing power is merely just an inconvenience. Flooding...well that can be just devastating 

no that is not true. Losing power over a long period of time can be way more than an inconvenience for most. possible to lose all frozen and refrigerated foods, people on wells have no water, etc.

Meanwhile, gotta love this Bermuda Blue…

what's that structure? looks like an abandoned radar site in Chernobyl

Looks like a possible hot stretch at some point this weekend into next week..perhaps just more next week...and then back likely broken based on what I see. And no, not because of climo....I mean the pattern. 

i could have sworn that we were told HHH due to WAR right through Labor day?
