NorthShoreWx Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 April was wet enough here (5.03"), but May (2.40") and June (0.92" so far) have been dry. The last rainfall was June 12 (0.16"). The other 3/4 inch that fell this month was spread over a 4-day period from 6/4 - 6/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not seen one in weeks and we were inundated during spring. Expand Haven't spent much time with the ticks in recent weeks, though I got one within a few yards of our lawn earlier this month. Mosquitos ae abundant, worse than average, but the next generation should be much reduced - current swarms grew up in snowmelt puddles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it couldn't happen but that would be pretty far down on the list of worries. Expand It's typically pretty hard to get long term drought conditions around here. Even this one is a short term drought thanks to the last month and a half. Otherwise we were running normal precip. If you are wiping out groundwater for multiple seasons then maybe your trees could get crispy. That's why it's typically surface fuels that burn and not whole forests.
