OSUmetstud Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 They could "spin off" OT as a new board with unique URL... People from here could still go there... But hey the "powers that be" will never agree to that because their goal is apparently to have almost pure wx chat on this side so they need to keep pushing other subjects OT. Problem is ...OT is too much of a cess pool and none of us want to go there with regularity. DBM is already a spin off OT board. Randy created it after the Marcus fat fingers incident way back on eastern in like 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 right. and OT has been quite tame since people were suspended anyway. Nearly everyone who contributes in OT also contributes on the weather side. It's not some weird area of the board where evil is being created. Evil creation is reserved from Politics...where a bunch of people have joined to freak out and be nasty before the election who wouldn't know a CB from their own ***hole. OT has def been more civil, but I do miss some of the people who are gone from there. Pinned regional OT-side banter threads? Open to all AmWx members? Can you pin an OT thread?

HIPPYVALLEY Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Damn its pouring here .47 rain rate, .2 in the bucket. Kev how much rain for today? Go ahead, rub it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 There is an independence of GW and precip. its not a normal 1-1 correlation Of course, but precip has been below normal since....November? I do know it is rather complex, but it eventually happens (wells going dry...) Been a long time since my hydro classes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Go ahead, rub it in. Sorry, up to .24. Yesterday i finally turned on our extensive outside irrigation system here at work, figures. Its expensive to run but we needed it. Had a problem with potentiometers but all better. Ground was.......parched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more the small farms and csa's that can't afford widespread irrigation that are taking a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinch1989 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hb Deep GW is a long term process, check out the yearly departures. I just checked reservoirs in CT, all full too Yikes I'm right in the middle of the -4 to -8. The .11 in the bucket so far today isn't going to be much help.

Allenson Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The lag is pretty long for deep wells, shallow hand dugs are a different animal. We have a dug well--12' deep or so. It's in a great spot but I've been concerned this summer that we might finally run it dry. The 1.25" we had on Tuesday evening was huge. Most important rain all summer, by far. When we first moved to our current house back in '06, I would 'stick' the well once a week or so and there's no doubt that that puppy showed very quick recovery after a nice hefty rain and then slowly drop as recharge rates went down before the next rainfall. I did the same sort of thing at the house we had before now (also a dug well--they're quite common around here) and it acted very much the same. Point here is that there's nowhere near the lag that deep drilled wells see. But, we're much more reliant on consistent rainfall throughout the year. When that doesn't happen...

Ginx snewx Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 interesting paper During wet periods (positive anomalies) groundwater levels follow closely with streamflow and precipitation, however an asymmetric response of the water levels occurs during drought periods. We propose that aquifers respond differently to floods and droughts (Eltahir and Yeh, 1999), which results in an amplification of dry (more negative) anomalies and a dissipation of wet (more positive) anomalies in the groundwater levels (Figure 3A). During drought periods a lag is observed from the climate variables to the groundwater levels that are not seen during wet periods. This observation can be attributed to the fact that during wet anomalies the water table is already high and as groundwater levels continue to rise they intersect with more stream networks. During dry periods, the opposite occurs, less intersection of stream networks occur as water level becomes more and more disconnected from surface water features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough, but at least it's something. yea, I was up in Oswego for orientation and everything in the area was all brown, and the grass was very dry and crunchy when you stepped on it. Is it that bad over by you? It was in the mid to upper 90's every day, it was disgusting weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
