Bubbler86 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Radar looks great and both HRRR and 3K have it raining on and off for about 20 hours from mid-morning through early AM tomorrow. A true soaker if it plays out. 1/2-1" totals on both for many areas of southern PA. A balmy 66 this AM. On the surprise factor scale, this would be like getting a 4-8" snowstorm 3 days after the forecast said today would be sunny and 60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of that, I dropped in #12 last though I only did about 1/2 the yard. The only mows going forward will be leaf chopping which I do not count. Only 12 mows over 6 months of mowing season. Kind of crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry folks, but if you don't do a short mow the day before the first progged snow, regardless of the month, you'll have to return to detention at Weenie High. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is bad for the grass to cut too far below 2.5" so those of us struggling to grow a yard usually let it roll a bit higher. I appreciate what you other guys do though.

ChescoWx Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Early sun today will fade quickly behind clouds with showers arriving during the 2pm hour across much of Chester County. The latest NAM shows a general 3/4 inch of rain...other models less than a 1/2 inch. If this was winter it could be the difference between 4" of snow to 8"...in late summer we just enjoy the needed rain! Records for today: High 93 (1898) / Low 35 (1990) / Rain 3.90" (1945) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taking the other side and saying I am cool with your side too. LOL. This rain is now settling in here to a rainy Sunday. Hard to remember the last time we had a nice, soaking rainy day. No fretting over dBZ's and your hood, no worry about under the trees....just a good soak. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
