Damage In Tolland

Stein getting absolutely wasted . Just ripping thru cheese , charcuterie boards and glasses of wine

He’s in Fairfield

Nice ! You love to see it . Looked just like that here until this week . Stein is trapped within your fences

Multiple?

I added to my post . Dude had melted doo flowing into his pool from all the rain and high humidity

We most certainly did not It was the most humid month in SNE history with 14” of rain from daily HHH and tstorms . There was no cold fronts with days of dry cocks

Dew

You are up near or over 6”

Brown back up as we head into met fall

You use Steins name enough .. he lets you get out of the shed to breathe from time to time before pulling you back in. Just ask Tbliss. Dudes at like 6” MTD

Seems like yesterday I was running in sunshine at 4:55 AM. Now it’s just running in warm darkness all fall and winter

Today was the first run in total darkness of the season. Even Monday was a bit light by the time I got home. Now that does suck

Our leaf blowing done by Helloween with high and drunk pumpkins smiling and winking . Fully leafed trees at Stowe with green sober pumpkins

Tonight a great example. Much of VT will probably get 1”+. While most of SNE gets under .2.. some get none . But then some storm on Labor Day drops 2” in a narrow area in SNE

I bet the peak seasonal foliage maps are reversed this year . SNE peak early Oct while Freaks area peaks early Nov

You get rains almost daily . Ours has come in short intervals . I went 15-16 days of nothing . Big big difference. You aren’t comparing apples to apples

I’m not sure why you keep saying Tolland County other than to illicit a responsible SNE from me .. which you’ve achieved. Our area has been far from a jackpot . That blue dot map is horrific btw. Why not post SB actual qpf anomaly map ? As an example in July Stafford to my north had 4-5”.. I had 2.82 . That awful map also has Scooters area and just south as a Jack and they’ve been close one of the driest. I mean lol

How will Reggie work out?

I can’t understand why they took your county out of full on Stein . Maybe because of south of you getting hit with heavy rains

The dry ground certainly feeds back. It’s over a wide area too from ENY Hudson Valley where there’s fires burning tonight right to the E shore of MA https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/hudson-valley/news/2022/08/30/massive-wildfire-burns-in-minnewaska-state-park-preserve

The craziest thing to me is you have been drier overall since May.. but he really crushed us here from about July 20- Aug 25. That period was insanely dry with just about everything missing plus minus a few days either side . That coincides with the hottest portion of the summer , high sun angle and everything just freaking died . My guess is if there’s little rain the next 15 days as modeled.. we’ll see a slower progression of what just happened . Lower sun angle, longer nights should mitigate to some degree.. but things will slowly go back to death and Stein . Especially with low dew days . Those really hurt . That storm we had on Friday took down all the remaining leaves that hadn’t already dropped. This pic below is from a few hours before it hit. Had a black birch drop all its leaves in one day fully green

Really eccentric treescape this late summer. All the black birch , yellow maples and much of the underbrush died and are completely bare . There are a few other Oaks that went brown interspersed. Everything else mainly green . So we almost get 2 fall foliage seasons. We had the one the last couple weeks of brown and yellow. The next should be brown , yellow and maybe some orange. With the dry next 15 days.. that should really Stein the landscape back up . Below was foliage season 1 last week followed by a pic this evening . You can really see how the canopy thinned out from Stein part 1

Post pics !

It is burned out most areas. The rain last week did start to green up protected, shady areas to be sure

Furnace!
