FPizz Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 9 hours ago, winterwx21 said: Only 0.13" here. But the ground is still moist from Saturday's big rains, so it's not a big deal that we mostly missed today. Yes, was actually pretty happy not to get the bigger rains after Saturday. 4.35" for the month is pretty nice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANDA Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Total for yesterday 3.10". Two rounds. Early morning 1.72" in about 45 minutes. Second round with tornado warned storm early afternoon dropped 1.37" in about 15 minutes. Finished with .01" during the evening in a quick moving light shower. I'm good with rain for a while. Need some time for the ground to dry out. No need to water here anytime soon. Everything is as green as it could possibly be. @bluewave posted above the next big ridge looks to be centered more west over the western plains or Rockies. Watch for weak downstream trof over the east. Depending on placement that could signal another round of wet weather. A trof axis over the Ohio Valley or along the Appalachians would make for a wetter go around here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm at 9.74" for the month making it the second wettest July for me, only topped by 2023 with 13.95". My average is 4.85". Interesting to note that I had .08" more in the Stratus than in the Davis which had to be due to splash out from the Davis in the 12.52" per hour rate for five minutes followed by a 11.76" rate for five minutes around 9:30pm last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have any information on rainfall rates here. My period of record here is just about 9 years. Will have to go back and look to see what my wettest month was. Good question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sorta reminds me of when I was a kid in the early 50’s and we used to play tag with, what we called, sun showers. I guess the convection strength was either very isolated or that the ASOS cover foliage in Central Park soaked up a lot of what was falling. I like your screen name.

Looks great. 3 hours ago, BobbyHolikWillFindYou said: Ticks are going to love this too. Ugh. I have a shiptload of them up here. We got five in the last week just from being out on the deck. I've found them crawling across the deck rails and even the deck chairs, and one up the wall of our kitchen! We don't even butt up to the woods, so they must be from the copious amounts of deer wandering through the yard. I just sprayed the hell out of the deck, deck planters, and surrounding lawn with pet safe spray so I'm hoping that does the trick. Ticks in general are really getting out of control and tick borne illness, some serious, continue to rise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evie3 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 My understanding is that ironically it is white footed field mice rather than deer that spread ticks the most, including the type commonly known as "deer ticks." Foxes eat the mice, and communities with active fox populations have a significantly reduced incidence of tick-borne diseases. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxes eat the mice, and communities with active fox populations have a significantly reduced incidence of tick-borne diseases. My background is in ticks, and you are right that the white-footed mice spread them the most along with chipmunks. This is why you NEVER want to sit on a rock wall in or near the woods. The mice nest in them, and they are loaded with larval ticks, which molt into nymphs. The nymphs, because of their size, are the ones most likely to transmit Lyme. The deer are the singles bar for the ticks. The adult females feed on them, and the male ticks move from female to female to mate (gigitty gigitty as Quagmire would say). The males don't really even care about a blood meal, just mating. Such is life. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
