Yup, we are reduced to waiting for the weekly drought monitor for weather excitement. Should see an expansion of the red area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbenedet Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Never had this many days of significant radiational cooling in a row since I’ve moved here in 2015. The conditions have also been so suitable to radiate that we hit the dewpoint before midnight and continue slowly dropping to sunrise. Overnight radiational fog has been a regularity right at the surface. It’s a common desert phenomenon that sustains vegetation; it’s doing wonders for my young grass and grass seed. The vegetation around here generally doesn’t reflect the severe lack of rain thanks to this; it looks more mild to moderate… 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vegetation around here generally doesn’t reflect the severe lack of rain thanks to this; it looks more mild to moderate… It’s not doing a whole lot…yeah there’s a little surface condensation, but it barely gets into the ground. On dense fog nights where we saturate early, at best I get a 0.01” tip of the black rain gauge. Maybe it helps your seed on the surface germinate, but that’s about it. You had some decent rains recently too so you’re in a different boat than me. The 6” soil moisture here is back to the 90-100cb range after “moistening” up to 70-80cb a week ago. I’ll probably start hitting unchartered territory in the next week or two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a large section east of the MS that is under drought conditions. There’s a large scale pattern that has to change…it hasn’t just been bad luck. But yeah, it’s only September.

My extended family down the road in Tupper just get nailed from early November into mid April. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking about moving north.. it wouldn't be for atleast a few years though. I was thinking the Jackman Maine area or far northern NH.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
