Low expectations from early looks at winter seasonal outlooks means we don't have high expectations. I like it better this way, than the drama of disappointment due to those high expectations. It can only get bette!
To me this is ideal. A nice soaking rain in the middle of summer and wind gusts that don’t get too bad and start harming the garden and the fruit. Who needs a tropical storm with Highwinds and flooding rains in mid summer? That’s crazy save that for September
10 minute shower with Sun and now nothing. Radar unimpressive. This is getting weird. All the while my wunderground forecast says 2.86 inches of rain with tstorms. Lol
I will believe nothing, not even radar echoes, until I see the ground getting wet and drops pouring from the sky. We mist our chickens btw, and at first they run away, but then they like it and stop breathing heavily.
it keeps missing. GYX was forecast a moderate rainfall and then it just fizzled. We had chances for showers and storms all week and missed every one. When this happens it tends to keep repeating, so I think we need a pattern change for any rain. Now they're pimping Saturday but I kinda don't believe that yet...
I hope that late season snowcover doesn't push the backdoors down here. But at least we can think about planting next week. I always like to sneak in an early cucumber, tomato and bit of corn. Might try that early next week and cover them if needed. Black plastic already down in some of the beds to heat up the soil. It was good to read the optimism for possibly AN next week in the GYX discussion.
