Damage In Tolland Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'm just trying to keep track of who the "we" is since it's certainly not you. I saw other posts from Ginx that he was not down that much. I know it's been drier in SE MA, but it's certainly not in the realm of being down 5-6" around here. I'm between 3-4 below the last 90 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Well then I guess NERFC..a Gov't agency is lying then. I'm sorry I posted false gov't information Weird, I'm quoting NWS COOP numbers. Must be lies. The NERFC says right there, "nearly" 5 inches below normal not 5-6". And it's 90 days from 9/12, which leaves out a very dry first two weeks of June for other parts of the region. That map might look completely different if it was 6/1 through 9/12, or 6/1 through 8/31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Well then I guess NERFC..a Gov't agency is lying then. I'm sorry I posted false gov't informationIf you want real drought go to TX or the SW/Cali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 What's really hurting areas around here as far as the top soil goes, is the virtual nothingness here since July 4th. Having little rain at the time of year when the sun is baking things is bad for plants and grass etc. June was dry, but we got drinks here and there and then luckily a good soaking on July 4th. Since then, not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Nice late summer day on tap. Sun with some fair-weather clouds. 48.4/43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 How does an enthusiast like you not have just a standard rain gauge sitting outside? I literally have nowhere to put it without being effected by a tree somewhere. I would have to mount a random pole in my front yard which would look completely dumb. I might just get an old fashioned gauge and stuck it in the ground there, but any windy storm may blow water off the trees into it. I may take down a tree in the next few years which will help. I'm going to get a Davis sometime in the next year or so hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HimoorWx Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 0.09 in Randolph. Brings me up to 0.10 for the month! If it wasn't for the August storm (a little over an inch), I think we'd less than an inch since July 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pretty good idea anyways plus the dual polar precip estimate is really good. I have a thermometer that would give Dendrite a stroke if he saw where it's located, but all I care about really, are the temps in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
