Cold Rain Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 .42" yesterday. Hope things dry out enough to finish mowing today. I'd hate to have to raise the mower deck up a notch just to knock the grass down to a level it can mowed at it's normal height These once a week monsoons have kept me and the mower busy lately. My mower is almost broken. It's smoking a lot, which has gotten worse through the summer. Unfortunately, going to have to pay someone to come and fix it, which would be fine except for the fact that they charge $100 just to come out (which doesn't include the coat of the repair).

You can get a decent new one for around 180$!Unless u have a riding mower? I got a craftsman push mower about 10 years ago new for 175$, still going strong with no maintenance !

Man, I've never had to pay for the coat of the repair guy. I think you're getting scammed or something. These past few days have featured quite the moist atmosphere around here. I've received rainfall each of the past five days, including today. The current five-day total rainfall is 2.98 inches IMBY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Right now it's 81/73 in Myrtle Beach with the moon shining on the ocean Put some pants on!! In other news, the sun is actually shining here. Thus ends a several day period of weather that, except for the temps, reminded me of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Pretty nasty out 88 over 73 kinda surprised there are not more storms and showers around the eastern part of the state, we have been 50% chance for the period since yesterday and so far it hasn't panned out, they have us with a 50% overnight as well...maybe the stuff out west will make it in here, decent little cluster/line forming east of the Triad.

Solak Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 If you want to know if it's going to rain, use this. So far accurate as hell for me. Yesterday morning it said rain for several hours and we got lots of rain. Today it said no rain expected even though we had a 90% chance of thunderstorms today and we got nothing. It probably takes into account healing skies. http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/44231-hey-guys-ive-made-a-rain-prediction-website-i-was-hoping-you-could-take-a-look-at-it/#entry3026415 We'll see Right now it says: Clayton, North CarolinaRain in 85 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Nice severe storms and flooding . Have large branches down and prob 4"+ of rain. Really looks to be trying to train a bit as well, I suspect the Crabtree Creek going to show some huge jumps in water levels here in the next hr. The leading edge is going poof though so my hopes of this making it east is starting to also go poof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
