I'll let ya buy me a beer at the long overdue NW burbs gtg. Definitely some tight gradients with this week's precip. The same areas seem to be favored day after day Central Hudson? I was looking at their map last night over there and you must be one of the couple of outages that they still had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Over an inch since about 5am. The water is winning Found a (new) leak in the roof and there's water about to start coming up through the basement floor from overflowing gutters on the downhill side.

gravitylover Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yeah the last year and a half has put this old house through the wringer. 4 of us here almost all the time have overused every system in the house. I've had hvac, electrical and plumbing issues, we had to replace the septic tank and pipe from the house a few weeks ago, the washer and dryer are worn out, the tub rusted out around the drain closer thing and 2 more trees have come down wrecking the fence in the yard. That's the second tank replacement in just a few years. We got rooked by a lying, thieving, slimeball of a septic guy who did shitty work then lied to us and made it worse over the ensuing time. Don't ever use Evan's Septic for anything, Charlie is a waste of oxygen. The gutter is overflowing because the wood behind the fascia is rotting so it's sagging a little. Old... damn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Up to 1.5” here. just had contractor in for estimate on replacing windows, sliding glass doors and siding on back of my old house. 40+ years old and has to be done. Chimney which is over a 100 years old leaks in heavy rain. We’ve tried to repair twice before to no avail. #fookinghouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a tree on the wires two doors down and for whatever reason, no work was being attempted on it until late yesterday. I'm sure they had a good reason... leaving a tree across a county road for two days is probably frowned upon unless it's absolutely crucial that it not be moved until they're totally ready. As soon as crews got on-site it was just a matter of a couple hours. 1 hour ago, IrishRob17 said: That all sucks. I have a love/hate relationship with old houses these days.

gravitylover Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 That's our thing now too. I need to make it sale ready because we've pretty much had it with living here. 2 years and the kid should be graduating from grad school so we need to maintain this place to keep the in state rates until at least then. Her twin will hopefully start grad school in January so that puts us at 2.5 years until we can leave. I'd rather not have to do all of this stuff under duress though as old systems fail, I kind of want to make things nice rather than just fixed. FlexSeal works pretty good in chimney leaks. Looks like 1.6" will about do it for this morning wetness, we'll see what happens with that back edge line rolling eastward if it stays together and gets us wet this afternoon. The wells ought to be refreshed now so #bringbackthedrought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool and pond alike are overflowing... maximum soppage. +1.75" since this measurement. So up to 7.87" for the month. Wonder if I can pick up another inch this evening for good measure. On the plus side, it's sunny and beautiful for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone? Can we make it 4 days in a row? Mesoscale Discussion 1215 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0335 PM CDT Fri Jul 09 2021 Areas affected...portions of southeast New York into eastern Pennsylvania...far northeast Maryland...western New Jersey Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 092035Z - 092230Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...The severe threat continues to increase across portions of the Mid Atlantic this afternoon. Damaging gusts remain the primary threat with the stronger, longer-lived storms. Conditions will continue to be monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Multicellular clusters, evident via MRMS mosaic radar imagery, have demonstrated small, bow-type structures over the past hour or so, with some damaging gusts reported. These storms are progressing in an environment characterized by widespread, poor mid-level lapse rates, but with 7+ C/km 0-3km lapse rates (evident via 20Z mesoanalysis and 19Z RAP forecast soundings). The aforementioned low-level lapse rates atop upper 60s to 70 F surface dewpoints are contributing to 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE amid 40+ kt effective bulk shear. These bulk shear vectors are oriented roughly perpendicular to the smaller linear segments. As such, storms are expected to continue supporting damaging gust potential through the remainder of the diurnal heating cycle. It is unclear how widespread the damaging gust threat will be through the remainder of the afternoon. Conditions will continue to be monitored for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance should it become evident that more widespread damaging gusts will become likely. ..Squitieri/Bunting.. 07/09/2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Man oh man, we were already having one of the most lush and heavy growth years in I can't even remember how long with plants growing that I've never seen around here and some that are going through a flower and seed cycle that haven't in 20 years or more. This recent wet cycle has put everything into overdrive! This may actually be a bad thing as the deer have unlimited food right now and they're stronger and healthier looking than they've been in quite some time. I've also seen way more babies than I have in a long time, bears too. I already have a few friends needing new cars due to them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Yeah I'll send you some 4 legged critters that like tomatoes if you feel like you have too many. You can keep them when they're done so they can help you next time too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etudiant Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Deer are probably the best reason to be driving a full sized F-150 truck or similar in the NE suburbs. Iirc, deer collisions are the most common cause of death or injury from wildlife. Bringing back wolves and cougars would be a life saving measure, as well as ecologically very desirable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been so bummed about the first half of summer since 2006. Maybe someone with more long-range skill can comment, but I don't see any big change through the end of the month.

My potatoes were doing better than I've ever had and then the wet... I can't even dig them up to try and save them, it's so wet the skins will just rip. I'm so bummed. So far the tomatoes are ok but my expectations for that to continue are pretty low. Lettuce is gone, peppers are pretty much useless and not producing, beans are slooow and brassiccas are also on their way out prematurely. I hope we get a chance at a second season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a real gardener, but I'd thought that raised beds were developed just for these kind of conditions. Admittedly, not that easy to put up raised beds and there are probably downsides I don't know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
