I saw that it was a 5.1 near Sparta, if that’s the case that’s a strong quake for around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah one of the strongest since 1916. Very impressive and we may get some minor earthquakes in the coming days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 It was pretty strong here. Lasted maybe 10 seconds. Actually had a picture come off the wall. Headed back to the coast today to prepare for the locust. I read on Facebook that they mated with the murder hornets so....... I'll be back in mid September. Ya'll take care of the mountains the best you can. No telling what you might run in to this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been dry the last two days but I'd say we had rain for about 8 of the 10 days prior. Several roadways flooded with the last storm. I just hope we don't get a tropical system this fall, or we're really going to see some issues. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be interesting starting soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We planted a couple of Japanese Red Maples yesterday. Good to get them in the ground ahead of the rain! Looks like an early season cold front arrives Sunday night/Monday morning. We could flirt with morning lows well into the lower/mid 50's next week. Yeah heavy storms early fall then probably more heat. Typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Apparently the FF guidance is low there. WPC has flood risk. On the bright side somewhat fall-ish weather is on deck after the front. Watching the Perseid(s) the other night (only one, lol) I noticed Orion coming up in the East. Orion is of course a staple of the winter evening sky. He's like, hold on, fall and winter are on the way! Hopefully more snow will grace the Mountains this winter, though it'll be a chore with La Nina. Ski areas need our support more than ever. I'd say if not bar hopping at night, it's safe to ski/ride bundled up with face coverings anyway. Get take-out to support restaurants. Never too early to think ahead, lol! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out on the back forty about 4 am Wednesday morning and saw over 20 meteors which was nice; sorry you missed the show. I plan to hit the slopes this winter; per usual I try to go at the least crowded times possible (early and late season) so social distancing should not be much of a problem. Always nice to think about skiing instead of how hot it has been at times. Looking forward to some cooler weather Yes Met1985, a rainy day; just started pouring at the house while I was writing this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Starting to get a little concerned about flooding from tropical systems the next few weeks. Looks like a general 1 to 3 inches by the weekend from an upper low before any potential tropical trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
