moneypitmike Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 My parents have a heater in theirs. 80-85F all summer. I had strict insturctions not to let ours get below 75*. Dead River gas bill, ftl. Looks like the Pit may have hit tickled 60* on Friday, hit 69.7 yesterday. Torch. Spent the weekend at the Boston Yacht Club. Cool day cruising off Manchester yesterday, but pretty warm on land though. 57.4/55 off a low of 54.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Cool temps doesn't do anything to grass Does hot weather? Well, I guess cool weather may not DO anything, but it fails to do what heat does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Does hot weather? Well, I guess cool weather may not DO anything, but it fails to do what heat does.then there is morning dew on cool mornings which is a nice source of moisture. Sun angle now slipping away burned lawns becomes less of an issue. What a great day yesterday and today. Wonder how the top four climo sites are doing.

Damage In Tolland Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Does hot weather? Well, I guess cool weather may not DO anything, but it fails to do what heat does. It could burn in 60 degree sun and dry or 90 degree sun and dry. And dew in the morning doesn't do anything lol ..It just sprinkles the grass blades and evaporates off by 9:00am. Water needs to get down into the roots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I could care less for mby. We've had plenty of rain throughout the summer coupled with no heat at all, most days in the 70's For met summer to date at the Pit: Total days over 80*: 15 High for met summer: 86* Number of days 83 or higher: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have stayed awake for your Gen ed classes while getting your business degree You both are making valid points. Any water will help; but its really water that gets the roots that will feed the lawn. It makes no sense at all though that low heat dry will burn a lawn to the degree that high heat dry will.

Xerophytic regions grasses are an example where dew is a source of moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know it alls know it allso it's not a source of moisture, cool days lower sun angle have the same effect on grass growth, good to know. I DEW hope you have a great day.

Mikehobbyst Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 We seem to be done with the 90's for this year, very high probability based on models. More concerned that we may be dealing with a TC strike next month, with pattern maybe becoming favorable with some Atlantic blocking and "WAR" ridge re-positioning. If we get 500 mb heights to 588-590 in Atlantic Canada and New Foundland, something could be curved right into the LI and New England area, if there is indeed something to track later on. I would sense about a 12-15 percent chance of a direct impact TC strike this September for a Cat 1 cane. This summer does reminds me so much of 1985 which had a hot SE and a much cooler NE. We had Gloria that Sept. I bet the summer pattern is a bit similar too. Hope we avoid any TC's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Worrying about the grass is fruitless. The grass burns and then greens with rain. The climate here doesn't support green although a lot of help from hoses. Look at wilderness areas and meadows. But people obsess over appearance of the lawn vs utility...I don't get it.
