Yeah, it’s not nearly as bad as it could be, but we could really use a good soak. The grass is slowly dying out.
It certainly is compared to 9”. We’re in the midst of a wet pattern and swaths of LI find a way to see below normal precip.
It’s mid summer and temps have been above normal, aside from like two bursts of heavy rain, July was bone dry. Grass is largely brown and trees are shedding leaves. It’s not a full on drought, but it’s a stark contrast between here and much of NJ/NYC.
