That really is amazing.the teen complains all winter and jacks snows .. complains all summer and will be near or over 4” MTD after tonight’s 1.5” +. Unreal in TAN
Good question and something I was thinking about tonight. I just snapped these two before it gets dark. Not much green came back yet. I’m thinking if we get Scooter’s storms tomorrow, you’ll start to see some areas begin solid green up again . Especially out of full sun.. but let’s say his storms miss tomorrow.. well you’ve got sunny and hot straight thru Saturday .. so any short term soil moisture near the ground totally evaporated by Wednesday and you’re back where we were this morning. Shorter days and less intense sun start to help protected areas first and then more exposed areas as you get past about Sept 10
Long way to go to get out of Steinshed.. flora , trees have taken a whipping . This is looking off the deck into the woods this even. . Hard to imagine it’s Aug 22 with all the brown and yellows Today was a nice break from the beatings. Nice to see a bit of rain .
I am very happy . Don’t recall saying I wasn’t anywhere here. Just would have liked more than a dust wetter when so many nearby had double or triple the amounts . Maybe Scooters storms tomorrow materialize . I’ll hope
Easy for someone sitting in Stowe , VT to backyard QB when they’ve had supple rains , green grass, no watering needs and daily and nocturnal summer storms all summer . Gotta love this place
And still nowhere near the 2” flooder you had .Barely over an inch for the whole month here Almost 2.5” inches in the last 7 -10 days and you pull this nonsense earlier today
Don’t forget most of them had plentiful rains last two weeks with storms that we missed. Maybe Hoth’s area over to coastal SW CT didn’t .. but most of them did
Vernon had over 2” just west of here.. Just east and SE had 1.25. Not close to what I needed , but I will take it and start fighting to get out of Steins woodshed once again tomorrow as a new dry spell begins
Yeah had a nice downpour last hour . Picked up a quick .30 in short order. It stopped and then a big shower formed on top of the mountain here . Considering this area missed every storm since mid July.. we were due for a little happy ending.
.40 on the day as it ended a few minutes ago. More in all towns east and west . Enough to wet the dust down and that’s it ..seeing all those big totals in S Wey, Taunton, the Cape and even SE CT.. we sure got relatively Steined. Beggars can’t be choosers I suppose
.81 MTD
It’s been mainly light with a few short bursts of moderate . It’s already over in HFD. Maybe he’s thinking it intensifies on the last gasp here in next 30 minutes?
