It's great if the most interesting weather to you is the passage of dry, windy cold fronts and gale- force winds under bright, sunny skies. Actually, its decent in winter in keeping snow. But, it is dry, dry, and dry during the summer. Absolute dearth of t - storms out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronTy Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Drought has started falling from the sky pretty heavily down here. With all this drought we should have a pretty good leaf season this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Amazing, heard thunder again for about 30-45 minutes, not a drop here. I'm starting to think someone picked up my county and moved it out west to NM or AZ somewhere.... day 22 with a total of 40-50 raindrops max, 0.33 in last 30. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 2 hours ago, MN Transplant said: The carve-out for NPZ's yard. It's truly remarkable. Exemplified by yesterday evening's storms, it's a completely different world just a mile or 2 to my east and southeast. Storms hit - and miss - the same spots over and over again. My grass was burned up by the end of May. Neighbors' gardens fried. They eventually just gave up, as have I, trying to water. It's hopeless. My pumpkins were mostly duds thanks to the lack of rain and my corn never made it. I only continue to water the maples I planted last year and the landscaping I've added since. Too much invested there to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I have 0" for the month of Aug. Since the 1.1" that fell on July 10 (I believe), I have received .3". Good thing I was flooded with 3" over the 9 weeks previous to that to get me through the dry spell. Loved driving through puddles for 30 miles home the past 2 days to see them disappear instantly when I get 1/2 mile from my driveway. Thats almost as pleasurable as driving through the green pastures and see them turn into cinder-grass (yes, I just coined that term) just as quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
