If that 18z Icon run went past hr 120 some would of easily seen over 10 inches that run

That GFS run is like 6 days where there’s rain somewhere in the region on every 6-hour QPF panel.

The good news for flooding is this is all spread out quite a bit over days and days.

Late summer 2023 redux

High of 58F today...good day to get in some yard projects. Hoping to squeeze in some more tomorrow before the murk settles in. Actually a little too cool this evening. Now 49 with a chilly breeze.

South of pike FTW the next 3 days 

[SouthCoastMA]

Definitely a somewhat mild weekend south and east, and looks mostly dry. Barely a half inch of precip through Tuesday AM on most models, here..before it all slides east. 

[Damage In Tolland]

Summer FTW. The first cut is the deepest. First mowing of season . Close to ecstasy for me .

Ball busting aside, that looks like Augusta in the spring.  You’ve got that yard dialed.

Thanks man. Nothing like a beautiful landscape to look out upon . Weed free , green , leaves on trees . The small things in life mean a lot to me . It’s a lot of work each week .. already pruning shrubs etc.  but it’s worth it

Looks like the neighbor’s dog took a leak in one spot.

I gave up a long time ago with a dog.  After a while, you just sort of accept that you won’t walk them off-property every time they go outside (for their entire life, ha).

I respect it though, my dad makes us take the dog across the street to the woods when we visit.  If only a couple days, you can keep a dog off a lawn.  But long term never going to happen.

Mowed for the third time already today

 I have a bit of zoysia and it does that. It’s as dead looking as can be mid fall to mid spring. I regret planting it now though.

Drove through the Tolland triangle on I-84 today. survived.

I gave up too, years ago, I've had 4 females, and they always burn spots. I lost my dog of 15 years a few weeks ago but adopted an awesome puppy last week. I wish I could post the pic but having troubles.

Edit: did it

I’ve come to fully accept cold season QPF deficits followed by QPF bull’s-eye for warm season.  
I guess  I won’t do any planting this week because seeds will be washed away and roots will rot.

Sorry for the loss of your long time companion, but that dude also looks like he’s ready for a good life.

Thanks, I always miss the ones I lose but then I rescue another, she's from Mississippi, 12 weeks old, house broken, very trainable and just a sweet girl.

@weatherwiz might like the 3k NAM for Saturday

[DavisStraight]

Looks like the rain is later Saturday, I have a dumpster to clean the house out to get ready for sale and don't want rain Saturday morning or early afternoon.

GFS likes Saturday afternoon
