dendrite

This went west to east and I had a few drops. lol

He is moving in mysterious ways now. 5 drops.

The misses today were very strategic. It took a certain set of hands to be able to control it with such precision.

0.54” will likely be it for the month

I’m broken. Going to finish with a trace with no rain in sight.

Firing now…NH/ME border and MHT. Last shot here is probably those showers near EEN.

I have the shades half closed. It’ll probably start blowing up once it gets east of the MRV.

Just looked at radar and it’s looking like Spahn, Sain, and Stein.

I was afraid wxfella or tamarack were going to have to save me on that one.

So many mesos today restrengthen the storms along the front like 5 miles east of here. I’m getting angry just thinking about it.

I prefer native species and would rather not have any invasives here. Some of them you can catch early and stop the spread. Others catch on like wildfire and it quickly reaches a point where there’s no stopping them anymore. ALB isn’t in NH yet, but they probably will be eventually and yeah, I will feel the same way. Unless there’s some kind of legit plan to reduce their population (like sterilized males) then I don’t think there’s a lot you can do. The habitat around them has to evolve and adapt to them. It’s like trying to stop a field of japanese knotweed. You could throw a nuke on it and it would still try to resprout.

Except the gypsies?

Stomping is a waste of time and who wants bug guts all over your shoes? They will wreck havoc for a couple of years and then calm down whether you stomp them or not. There’s so many invasive plants, insects, and diseases that it’s not worth fighting it anymore. It’s a global habitat now because of humans. All of the continents would come back together in another 250M years anyway. One good thing about them is they love the invasive Tree of Heaven. So they can wipe that out while other animals learn to eat the lantern flies.

Min 49.8° Spahn pitched Wednesday…Sain yesterday.

HRRR and 3k don't fire up the line tomorrow until it's just barely east of here. I may start breeding lantern flies and dumping them off at members' homes if I don't get some decent rain soon.

I reported you to Governor Healey for your excessive use of ground pesticides.

It’s a waste of time killing them. They’re here now. It’s like the gypsies. I have to laugh at the public service announcements they’re putting out south of here to smash them all. The predatory insects and birds will realize they’re lunch soon.

Yes! They’re coming. Show it love. They usually cause an infestation for a couple of years and then their numbers wane.

Yeah I’m torn between viewing and trolling versus giving him the views and clicks. It’s a strange timeline that we live in.

Markymark trying to take the last remaining scraps of Scoot’s degree away from him

One of mine has bad blight at the base. I need to mudpack it or cut it down. I posted some pics in this thread. Have you had flowers yet?

It’s weird how they do it with the COOPs. The daily data gets entered in for the day at the time it’s reported…so 12z. So all of those COOP highs temps from the hot day on 6/24 get listed as occurring on 6/25. I know they want consistency, but I hate it.

Gotta subtract out that 7/31 data. Belchertown had 1.91” and Amherst 1.42”.

Disaster month north of CON into the Lakes Region % of normal

0.54” here MTD. 0.50” of that was 1 day.
