gravitylover Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Heheh, those things are pretty cool right? I borrowed one and did the same, took everything down that I could reach. Unfortunately the vines growing across the driveway are up about 25-30 feet and the neighbor won't let me go at it from his side he says it's not his problem and I should just pay someone. I say fk that it's his crap that's growing over and he should at the very least let me cut it down because it's like a roof over my driveway and the sun never gets to the ground and the moss was 3" thick before I scraped it off on my hands and knees in July, in the winter it stays a sheet of ice for weeks at a time. Unfortunately he hasn't gone on vacation in over 10 years so I haven't been able to sneak on and take care of since then. I think there's going to be a little brush fire this winter sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just sneak over the line early one morning and snip the biggest vines with a pair of loppers. Quick five-minute job. It's not a compete fix but at least the canopy will stop expanding and start dying back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 I think that after the leaves go down and I can figure out what to cut he's gonna lose a bunch of shit but the stuff facing their driveway will stay intact. The brush fire idea is more appealing though. Looks like another storm is going to be less wet for us up here. Hopefully this pattern where the heavier precip is from the city south doesn't hold after mid December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The wild card is Tuesday morning, when some models are increasingly suggestive of enhanced forcing from the advancing shortwave. If there's enough tropical moisture hanging around by then, we could still verify that Upton map and perhaps even do a bit better in northern areas.

gravitylover Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Two day total under a half inch. I was hoping that tropical season would give the drought a kick and do our wells some good but that didn't happen, doesn't look like there's much chance of a 10" slow deluge ahead either. It could be a long winter waiting for those proverbial April showers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of this week looks rather wet right now with a number of other events possible over the next couple of weeks. You eat an elephant one bite at a time.

There's always the hope(?) for something like what Islip experienced in 2014, 13.5" in 24 hours. That said, after seeing the flood damage caused by that same amount over the course of a whole week in October 2005, I think I'd rather replenish the wells in manageable increments. Not sure how my rubber band and bubblegum dam would fare against a tropical torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 2005 was anything but a slow deluge to me but I suppose its up for interpretation. 10/8/05-10/14/05 I had 14.81" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
