Not many when you work during the only hours where it's light. That's why we summer.

The cacti won’t do well with that much water though.

Adding more to the fall foliage info, from NPR today.

https://www.npr.org/2025/09/22/nx-s1-5550033/fall-leaves-peak-map-2025

Excerpt:

New England is currently experiencing drought conditions — despite a wet spring and early summer — which is causing leaves in some places to turn brown and shrivel up. But in other cases, Kosiba says, minor drought can actually make some leaves turn an even deeper red.

 

Kosiba says parts of New England, like where she is in Vermont, are seeing the onset of fall foliage about a week earlier than expected. But the region's varied topography and rainfall patterns make it hard to paint with a broad brush.

"So we'll see in some places, where the soil is very shallow and rocky, that we are seeing early leaf drop," she says. "And then on the other side of a hill very close to that location, we might see an area that's really green and hasn't even started the fall foliage process."

If you're worried about missing peak Northeast foliage, or planning a last-minute leaf-peeping trip, Kosiba's advice is "just keep driving south." Southern New England and parts of the Mid-Atlantic may not see their colors peak until late October or even November.

"My thought personally, because I love the fall foliage season, is that it's always good somewhere," she says. "So if it seems a little brown where you are, go a little bit to a different location."

Yikes. Wasn’t @Chrisrotary12asking about this place in the golf thread a while back?

Yes. I live 1 mile from there. Was a slightly eerie 2 hours when they thought there was a 2nd shooter on the run.

You love to see it.

36 to 69 here, total sun thru 3:30 with some high clouds sifting in since then.

Sandy flow is down to 42 cfs, probably about 5th percentile as the record low (in 1939) is 33 and 25th is 78.

Seems like a fairly widespread rain..obviously some winners and losers...but between tomorrow and Friday many areas get wet.

Umm... Not sure what you're looking at, but what I see doesn't show anything 3" to 6" in anywhere in the entire Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

Probably by the 3rd or 4th beer I could see 3-6” on that map.

The squirrels are picking up and eating every single acorn this year. Overall it’s a small yield year as many of them are already done dropping their acorns. Squirrels super annoying this year chewing limbs and leaves off and littering lawn but very few acorns left in lawn . No worries like we had last year

We got all the way to 77F today!

A nice 40-ish diurnal swing.

Dew points up to 55F, and it’s funny you can kind of feel a bit more moisture in the air.  Crazy how fast the body acclimates to those things… a couple days of dews in the 20s and 30s, and all the sudden 55F feels slightly heavier air.

You know, you gave me a big X on my comment about where did you see 3"-6". Am I missing something? Even if it's more CNE / NNE The highest I saw I was 3". Hey, maybe I'm missing something. Instead of giving the big X, help me understand what I'm missing

They did a number on my dogwood a couple of weeks ago.  Not sure what they were eating.  Plenty of acorns to get fat on.
