Ginx snewx Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Taking pride in your home and lawn is a horrible thing Lol who said that? Big difference between obsession and upkeep. Small lawns are easy to keep green. Worrying that a patch of lawn on a 2 acre plot will go dormant and the neighbors might see it does strike me as obsessed. Yuppified nation.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I imagine the chances of this happening to Kevin are much higher than the general public seeing as he spends so much time on his lawn. http://www.wxii12.com/news/local-news/piedmont/elderly-man-hit-killed-while-riding-lawn-mower/-/10703612/19960144/-/8ud4sd/-/index.html?utm_source=hootsuite&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=wxii%2B12%2Bnews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 please explain the implications. This. I still have yet to see anyone make a good case of how this situation is at all dire...water tables are totally fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 It's funny how we've had so many wet months over the years, yet Joe is piggybacking Kevin about 2 dry months. He likes to say NBD when we get a below normal temp month in a sea of warmth so it would only be prudent to call a couple of dry months in a sea of wet as NBD. The trolling and weenieism in this forum are getting a little excessive. It's difficult to talk science because of a select few lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trolling and weenieism in this forum are getting a little excessive. It's difficult to talk science because of a select few lately. It really goes back to what Ryan and I were discussing the other day...the 1960s had the worst droughts on record in New England, and they weren't very dire. We've been so used to wet recently the past decade that a couple of dry months might seem like a lot more than it really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been so used to wet recently the past decade that a couple of dry months might seem like a lot more than it really is. I recall a drought while living in my parent house in Bayside Queens during the spring/summer of 1985. My parent's had a pool and I remember that there where water restrictions regarding the filling of pool's and watering lawns. Other than that, I can't recall any really long term drought here in the Northeast since then. A 3" rain deficit going into early May means nothing really, I'd be more concerned if it lasted into the summer and then only for farming interest's like you mentioned earlier as crop irrigation around here is un-common.

Mr Torchey Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 please explain the implications. Please explain the 5 weeks in March and early April discussing how miserable spring in sne is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Torchey Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 IMHO this blows away the last two springs, this is classic, dead on nuts normal spring.........its simply does not get any better than this, the process has been a pleasure, a true spring not leaf out in early April. Just incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 If the dryness continues into June/July on fairly extreme levels, then it could affect the corn crop and some others in New England. The water table/reservoirs will probably not get into dire circumstances though until we are parched for over a year...or we literally get almost no rain for the next 60 days. The lawn and gardeners will be affected. As long as we can water our lawns with our private wells while the public water supplies have strict limits implemented. You know, the private wells that bring water from that magical place in the ground that does not effect anyone else's water table/ reservoirs?

No he probably left because the forum has (esp in the down times) turned into nothing but a bunch of people spiking footballs, saying AWT before forecasts verify, and the lack of science in a lot of posts. Its fine for a banter thread, but it had been getting into all threads and it needs to stop.

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 57 degrees, almost getting to uncomfortable temps for sleeping.
