Average those NNE values and the SNE values. You’ve had twice as much rain at .61” as J.Spin, myself and Phin . Tolland is all extreme all the time.

PhineasC Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Dry September is fine by me. When it precipitates in September, things turn into a muddy, mushy mess. Wet, dead leaves pasted on everything and turning into a soup. Dry, clear, cool air is what I want. Later in October the windy rainstorms can start up, sure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We re-windowed with Andersen, price was competitive and they're working well, though only 4 years - so much better, unsurprisingly, than the 1975 originals (brand unknown.) Low of 40 this morning - actually well before sunrise as we had a breeze by then. Yesterday's 60/31 brought the month average back to a bit BN, will be very close to my average after tomorrow, then a 3-4 day dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t bothered me in the least, in fact it’s been great as every time we want to go hiking or work outside there’s been nothing to stop us. Even October... let the precip start in November. Unfortunately Ma Nature is in charge and what we want is useless, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driest at the Farmington co-op is 0.53" in 1948. (Driest I've experienced was October 1963. NYC had 0.14" with 0.10" coming on the 31st, keeping that month from tying June 1949 for their driest since records began in 1869. We had maybe a bit less in NNJ and the NJ governor totally closed the woods - even fishing from a boat was prohibited, sad because I knew the 80F temps would mean lots of action.)

Wonder if there is enough smoke that will circle the poleward regions to influence temperatures to a slight degree. Don't know if it would be a net gain or departure. Smoke lowers daytime temps as the sun is now lowering in angle but must increase nightime temperatures too? Okay, gotta ask. What is with all the Dave Epstein jokes? Many years ago I was invited to go to the movies with some friends and he was there. I'll reserve judgement on the experience but needless to say I remember it all these years later.

Less than 3.50" since July 1st. I'll be 8.50" below normal on precip for the 3 months and 10.6" below normal for the year. This may be the driest year since TAN ASOS went operational in 1997. I'm tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kinda caught on after seeing stein being mentioned in the activity feed a lot.

dendrite Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yeah Dave Epstein is an avid gardener and has an above average affinity for precip and drought conditions. If it's somewhat dry you usually hear about it from his Twitter first. That's where DIT's joking all started. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
