I could hear the rain pouring over the fan noise; now just steady dripping from the trees as I nurse my morning coffee. Yeah, pretty good drink. .50" here so probably similar in your hood. I'm glad we're are getting all of our precipitation out of the way in the summer rather than dealing with that pesky winter qpf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w1pf Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 .93' here, almost all between 11:20 and 11:40. With the gutters off (in the middle of paint/re-roof/re-gutter) and no sod (in the middle of a major re-landscape) a fair chunk of my yard headed downhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The loss of daylight is sad to me. I'm good with warm wx into late October. By November I'm ready to flip the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The word drought is thrown around too often. A dry period with ample water reserves and aoa qpf ytd is not a drought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's like it goes in one ear and out the other...lol...yesterday was a dog day of August...classic summer heat/humidity. We were saying that it looks like we're done with that now. Pretty hard to get 91/71 in September...though not impossible. Nobody is saying we can't have an above average autumn though. I'll be cheering for 68F and sunny in mid-October when Kevin is hoping for 47F and drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I have never would have thought a total accumulation rainfall map would be more impressive than any snow map I have ever seen. Then the 12z GFS rolls in for S TX and proves me wrong. My God. Hope it does not verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxBlue Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Finally made it back to New Hampshire at 1 am and witnessed awesome lightning storms over Manchester.

dryslot Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 just purchased and planted two Patriot blueberry bushes. Do we really need to water daily until ground freezes? No, 1-2" per week, Did you mulch them? I used 4-6" of pine mulch, They will retain the moisture in the soil longer, I have those as well as Chandlers, Elliot's and Blue/Gold.

Not sure it's pine.The peat moss was good, Eh, That black mulch is not very good, Go to Home Cheapo or Lowes and get pine mulch, It will acidify the soil when it breaks down, The black mulch may try to make it more alkaline which blueberries and Rhodies don't like.

dendrite Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Cover it with pine or other evergreen needles. My parents have many different varieties of low bush wild blueberries growing through their pine grove...lots of lady slippers too. Half of their property is wild blueberries so I've been stealing a rooting bush every time I go down and plant them at my place under the white pines and my blue spruce trees.
