dendrite Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 lol The doe is injured...I'm guessing a broken leg. I've seen her limping around a few times with the fawns now. She gets around OK now, but I can't see her surviving a normal to bad winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She gets around OK now, but I can't see her surviving a normal to bad winter. Probably shouldn't be too pessimistic, as deer are amazingly adaptable. When my wildlife-biologist co-orker was manning the Kittery check station, he saw several three-legged deer come thru, and they all had been otherwise healthy. I saw a sizable deer one February that limped when it walked, putting no wieght on its right front leg, but it looked normal when it ran. Cloudy, muggy, and foggy morning, one for slower driving as most schools opened today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Most of the meso-scale models have some good boomers later...or at least some heavy rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Its 3:30pm and the early convection missed again to the south. Really hope the meso's are right and we get something later or overnight. Surface soil is very dry but deeper down Im sure we are fine with the big heavy rain events last month. Watering the lawns like crazy to keep them green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Very heavy rain now...good thunder too. Up the road is already over an inch. MVL has put up 0.43" in 13 minutes at the ASOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Getting very wet... 0.78" at MVL now in 27 minutes. Edit... 0.91" in 34 minutes and still going. I'll check my stratus gage when it stops but looks like some moderate rain will stick around for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Probably around 1.25-1.5" so far...hard to tell because the gauge is over-flowing now that we are easily over 1". Still raining moderately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApacheTrout Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Beautiful thunderstorms here for the better part of an hour last evening between 8 and 9 pm. Lots of rumbling, some strikes nearby, but nothing cracking right on top of the house. 1.15 inches total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Well September is off to a wet start locally. I saw Stowe Village CoCoRAHS come in with 1.42" so was expecting around there but found a whopping 1.72" in my gauge. I'm only 1-2 miles as the crow flies away from that station. North of here Hyde Park had 1.65" and southwest of here Richmond took home the prize with 2.15"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a few in there as well, Walmart sells a combo bottle brush on one end and a sponge head on the other for around 4 bucks, Its in the same area as the bird feeders are as i use it to clean the humming bird feeder as well, It works really good.. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Dual-Bird-Feeder-Brush/20703036 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Looks like bong resin in there. Bong cleaner might actually be what's needed. I'm sure there's some product to remove grime at the bottom of the rain gauge. May have to stop by the "Stash 'N Stowe" store later haha. It's closer than Walmart for the brush. I'll tell the guy it's for cleaning my rain gauge and he'll say "yeah sure it is, that's what they all say." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Had my area warned during the wee hours thias morning, got 0.12" while points west reported 1/2'-2/3". The night before it was places south and east of my gauge that got the rain. Once again, I'm glad it's toward the end of the gardening season so the dry spell doesn't really matter (and my cherry tomatos are splitting anyway - weird.) Edit: probably shouldn't admit it, but PF's inside tube looks pristine compared to my Japanese beetle killer. Time to do the paper towel on wooden spoon handle action.

That line last night just slowed to a crawl as it crossed the mountains. yeah, that red zone of 1.0 to 1.5 inches should have extended down into southern Addison County and northwestern Rutland County, as I had 1.15 in Orwell and another in Poultney had 1.25.
