Damage In Tolland Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 A little off on the striping of the lawn... Tough to keep it totally straight with the hills on the tractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Late August..typically when the lawn is at it's worst..not this year...Humidity and numerous t storms FTW..WOW What happened to the deadly drought? It's probably the lack of high heat recently too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Late August is usually when yard improve. Weaker sun and more rain. July is the crappy time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August typically is when folks that don't take proper care of their lawns have the crabgrass take over,,and you either have that or just a burned out, brown lawn if you don't water/fertilize. It usually takes the very late August rains if they come and rans and cooler wx in Sept. to get things back to looking decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 I had 48 again today. Then a beautiful day until 90 minutes when showers moved in. Some cool light rain and 67 here here now. I hiked up to 3524' on Windham High Peak today and an autumnal type hike with 60's mostly. I was afraid this could be a hot and muggy hike, but not the case. oved in. Another beautiful mroning out there today. Not getting Rick's 40's, but 51 ain't too shabby for the Pit this time of year. Sucks that it's Monday, but I've got a short week in store. Heading to Falmouth Thursday afternoon. Hopefully the weekend will be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Late August..typically when the lawn is at it's worst..not this year...Humidity and numerous t storms FTW..WOW Looks good, Kevin. No august is always the worst for lawns. Usually don't improve till mid Sept Nope. July's the toughtest. Once you hit August--unless there's a drought--the corner's turned and the grass springs again. Interesting how cool it stayed here today--topped out at 72.4. Had anticipated warmer.

Logan11 Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 The place looks great. I like the wall.... I kept an old stone wall in front of this place and have attempted to rebuild it a bit. I don't think I could ever have a lawn like that because all the field and wild grass stuff blows in and infiltrates, like during that dry period.

You can see a good example of why the suburbs have higher dews too,,all the deep forest and grass helps raise the dews a few notches in places where folks live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Back from Banff. The last day we had snow on the peaks around town. I was in Banff Summer 2000...it snowed on the Columbia Icefield when I was there. I was also in Glacier National Park area working all of Summer 2010...it snowed heavily, down to town level on 6/16. The flakes had a coating on 7/1, which is remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I know this is OT but I thought someone here might be interested in a Davis WX station I saw on Craigslist in Griswold, CT for $45 - http://hartford.crai...8222278.html I have no connection to the seller and don't know anything about it but it sounds like a fair deal.

powderfreak Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Signs, signs, everywhere are signs. OKX sounding, winter like jet Yeah dude... I'm getting the itch for snow bad now. All other worries melt away when it starts snowing on the mountain; at work all we've been talking about is winter and skiing. It gets brutal this time of year though because in June/July you're blocking the urge for snow out, enjoying summer and the season, but by mid/late August, it could and may snow within 2 months. It is possible that it even snows within one month (at least at the summit, as happens once in a while in September). Its getting close and summer has been played out. Time to let go of summer and torture myself thinking about winter all the time... Also what's with the Sultan? You'll always be Ginx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty funny day, I got 6 in Oct but felt screwed but felt great we had power, after the Irene disaster it was fine with me. First time ever I was relieved we did not get toasted with snow. First time ever it was snowing hard in Griswold but pouring at my house. By the way Will, Mek,Ryan and Scooter nailed that portion of the forecast.
