IrishRob17 Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 I just checked NOWData for KMGJ and don't see any heat waves in that data either so maybe I'm over thinking my station and location, I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Couldn't ask for a nicer day. Today was another top 10 for the year. I wish I could've gotten out and done something fun... Digital thermometers have taken all the fun out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxEngine Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Somers golf club should be bulldozed and literally anything else should be put there. Place is just rude.

I could have come and played with you and showed you how to really screw it up. That's what I'm the best at. Ooh, ooh, I got enough rain today to wet the ground!

gravitylover Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 It's so dry here now, that inch last week didn't do squat to alleviate the long term dryness. I poked a hole about 10" deep yesterday and it was sandy and dry all the way down. I guess my joking around about bring back the drought was taken a little too seriously My well isn't doing too well, the pressure is inconsistent now and we are really having to be conservative which is tough with 4 people always home. While I don't really want the huge rains that come with a tropical system I really need it, I just hope it doesn't all come at once causing it to run off rather than getting a chance to soak in and do some good. Damn, 60* and dry felt good this morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would think that forest fire danger is creeping up there now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The fire danger is insane right now but it's spotty, disguising just how bad it is. There is a surprising amount of water in places that are usually dry when it gets like this, creeks are still flowing that typically go dry by this time of year but many small ponds and marshes have completely dried up.

gravitylover Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Well, lets see if the little bit of rain I got this morning opens the soil up so it accepts the rain later rather than rejecting it and causing it to run off (at least initially).

gravitylover Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Yeah I really have no need for severe weather but do need multiple days with significant rain. The pressure coming out of our well is pretty inconsistent, that's when pumps get damaged and to replace ours is well over $3k because of how deep it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No water yet. I hope mine holds out, it’s over 500’ deep already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
