Finished with .86”. Soaked. 72/71. Gonna be a sticky one today.

Really coming down. .61” in the last 20 minutes.

Where is it you work?

There’s no way to do this surreptitiously. It’s right by a significant roadway intersection.

Not exactly a planned subdivision. The old dam downstream on my property is from the 1700s. The big dam further downstream that made the lake was built in the 1800’s to supply water to the croton train station for the steam locomotives.

I’d have to agree, although this particular area is completely within my neighbors property. They own the land on both sides of the stream, as do I just downstream from there. This area didn’t just fill in with silt, there were some major flooding events that did the majority of the filling in, especially Floyd (I think that was the one). Tons of rock and gravel were deposited in there from the gravel road which runs by the stream. I’d think the carting away and disposal of the mud would be the most significant part of the cost. You can see the erstwhile swimming hole in this google map image circled in black. When the stream floods, all the gravel from the road circled in blue gets carried into the pond.

Interesting. My neighbor upstream had a swimming hole that was allowed to fill in with silt such that it is now mostly marsh and swamp. I've always wondered what it would cost to dredge something like that. I would think it would take an excavator a couple few days to dig plus whatever to haul and dump the mud. Is that 10k, 100k, 500k? the big dam on the pond/lake abutting my property was recently rebuilt with concrete and that thing isnt going anywhere. great fishing in there if anyones interested. can't swim in it because of snapping turtles.

The Brooke that runs through my property is at normal level for this time of year.

‘Nothing here but the wife got caught in a torrential downpour in white plains.

Ended with .38”. That’ll do.

.32” already.

57/56. I like.

Oh, almost forgot. 69/60 here.

Good luck. Couldn’t be nicer weather. That’s a good sign.

Enjoy. We rarely do the beach thing but went to Long Beach a couple weekends ago and it was great. heading up to the berkshires Saturday. 64/64 here now.

.06” here. Giant game in rain delay. 70/67. Windows open.

I want to be able to open up the windows and cool the house off.

agreed. last summer was worse but if I'm remembering correctly it was late august september into october that were remarkably humid.

not down by me. I definitely havent seen it been below 65. Tomorrow should be good.

.62” here. 69/69. Can’t remember the last decent dp.

Hoping for something interesting this evening as I'm really starting to get tired of the humidity. definitely the dog days now.

That's Nelson, BC.

Had a quick thunderstorm about an hour ago. .18”. Sun out now and 79/73.

Just drove from dobbs ferry to croton. Quite the light show especially on 9 going up along the Hudson. 1.36” here and counting. Much needed.

Getting skunked here. .05”
