Yeah even less here, just under .2" Suns bursting out, should outperform the mid 60s forecast for today. And should dry out a bit for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Fontaine Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 This May seems to have been the coolest, cloudiest, and wettest I can remember of late. I live a little over a mile as the crow flies from the Rhode Island shore so I expect a cool spring. But this May my solar panel power production is significantly lower than the past four Mays. It's 28% lower than my previous high in 2023, and 15% lower than my previous low in 2021. There's almost 8-inches of rain in my rain guage. If flowers are any indication, based on last years photos, my wife's perennial gardens are behind last May. Here's hoping June breaks the spell. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 15 hours ago, kdxken said: Locusts might be fun. "Compared to previous infestations in the region, the 1874 plague was significantly more damaging. The invasion coincided with a record drought in the Midwest and Great Plains, which induced the grasshoppers (estimated at 120 billion to 12.5 trillion) to not only thrive but also to swarm when local vegetation was decimated. The arriving locusts would pile up to over a foot high and ate crops, trees, leaves, grass, wool off sheep, harnesses on horses, paint from wagons, and pitchfork handles. Early 1980s when we lived in Fort Kent, there was an outbreak of forest tent caterpillars, aka army worms. They fully defoliated all trees of the Populus genus - aspens, balsam poplar - and moved onto other hardwoods. Their squashed bodies stalled a train north of HUL, and a neighbor in FK had so many piled against his Bilco door (worms couldn't pass the metal flange atop the foundation) that he used a snow shovel to transport them by the thousands to his burn barrel. People would open their door and see hundreds heading over the threshold, sometimes resulting in those folks temporarily moving elsewhere. Only 4/10" by 9:30 and not much since, with the last decent band now overhead. Maybe reaches 2/3", probably less, but even dz at mid 50s is nasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
