Wasn’t expecting more than drops here so no…not invested 

 There were calls for 6-12", won't necro-bump but they were around

Kill em all.

We need my fantasy week of no snow  cover and high temperatures in the single digits.

Couldn’t even break 70 today. Let’s skip ahead to Christmas morning, enough of this chilly bullcrap.

Hopefully a summery and  dry September into October.  It's the busiest months of the year around these parts for various events.

Hello,

Long-time member, rare poster except obs and such. Voracious reader of all of your expertise, however!

I must say in this thread: Hurricane Erin has the making of an epic wave-producer for all my New England brothers and sisters who will hit it as it pulls away. National Weather Service Coastal Marine Forecast below (posted as plain text so hope it doesn't run off the screen to the right).

NHC track:

Very reminiscent of Erin on 9/11, when I was out three different time around Narragansett, Rhode Island area. I'll miss this one. I am visiting family and friends in Boston for my birthday til Thursday, then back to Brattleboro, Vermont. Argh. 

Seriously, if you are not extremely skilled, do not try to play the hero. You'll most likely drown.

Oh yeah, very nice seasonable weather of late, finally, in Brattleboro! I do full-time landscaping, and the 100 heat indexes and 90-plus and very humid for like six weeks kinda hurt.

I like that but a few rain events mixed in would be great to keep the dust clouds at bay and the trees from getting too droopy. It’s been a rough stretch these last few weeks in the water department.

A nice soaking rain.   I prefer dry but this will help the farmers and foliage.
