I have a lilac Bush that need water - it’s browned on the tips. I agree that we could use some rain, but I don’t think that it’s time to worry yet about drought conditions.

We are down a decent amount and it looks like a very dry for summer ahead. Just something to watch and a reason to wish for rain when it’s around.

TheDreamTraveler Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I hope this year isn't dry. The lack of thunderstorms was depressing last year. After may we had barely anything. I remember reading last year was the least amount of lightning ever recorded in the US in history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading through this thread makes me think that the next Dust Bowl is coming! All it takes is a week of no rain for the lush grass to go dormant. And people growing flowers just need a few dry days before they need to add watering to their daily activities. Still think some in the lsv see rain today.

Reading through this thread makes me think that the next Dust Bowl is coming! It’s dry. I’ve thrown out more water than I ever have this early in the last 13 years I’ve been superintendent. Farmers are saying same thing, plowing fields and nothing but dust. I wouldn’t call it a drought but I don’t like the look going into June. You can’t judge by looking at your yard lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this side of the mountain we have had a LOT more rain the first half of May vs. last year. But the plants are wilting now and the Pond at Red Run is quickly shrinking again.

If we don't get rain today things will really be drying out this coming week. With a potential heatwave looming...not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My simple way to explain the whole situation is if a store says shoes and shirt required, you are expected to wear shoes and a shirt. Same for a mask. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, as someone who is fully vaccinated, I am ready to lose mine forever. However, many businesses are and will continue requiring them and I have every intention of respecting their decision and will continue to wear mine where I need to.

It has rained here for hours but so slow it does not make the street wet. Better than nothing but not helping with the dry much. Cold though. 58. If the radar is to be believed, York and Adams are getting something more substantial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
