downeastnc Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Got to go out and finally mow my squishy yard between working 6 days a week and constant rain its been tough and probably 2 weeks since its been mowed so I left mowers tracks all over with tons of clumped up grass.....rained off and on all night with lots of close thunder and lightning for the 3rd straight night....overall we have had a exceptionally wet 3-5 year period with the 3 yrs from 2014-2016 being better than 60" heck both 15/16 were within 1" of the all time wettest year and remarkably the difference between the two years at PGV was only .87"...PGV has received basically a extra years worth of rain since 2014. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I figure at sunset storms will fade and die with loss of heating. This year it gets darkand I'm expecting storms at any minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started last summer and has continued ever since. It was looking "crispy" in Monroe today. A client of mine who lives just west of downtown Monroe lost an established dogwood tree in a wooded section of their property due to the ongoing dry weather there. Other dogwoods along the street in their neighborhood are drooping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowed my wet yard yesterday too. I can attest to the clumps of cut grass everywhere. Got finished just before it rained again. Weeds have over-taken my garden. It's been too wet to get out in it and weed. Maybe the drier weather this week will allow me to get some work done in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
