WxUSAF Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 AC repair man visit #3 is sometime today. I need to slash his tires or otherwise figure out a way to keep him here long enough to actually confirm he’s fixed it. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rvarookie Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Found a quick window to cut grass earlier (while still little wet) and finished just in time before all hell broke loose. I had to cut it before heading to beach or would came back to a jungle. Perfect timing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't cut the grass since 9 days ago...the clover is so thick, my lawn (front and back) look more white than green. Tomorrow, providing I get A window to mow, is NOT going to be pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly how mine looks, and last time I cut it was Memorial day. But I have decided to let it grow longer anyway, in an attempt to get it to survive the next several weeks. I will cut it later tomorrow or Sunday, but only to around a 4" height. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow) The certain direction the wind was driving rain somehow felt quasi-tropical! As it stormed I sat down and played a stormy Beethoven I'll typically play a storm-themed piece on rainy days...usually either Beethoven's "Tempest" or Chopin's "Raindrop" prelude...nice afternoon! That sounds fun Seems like there's quite a lot of music about/inspired by weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting that you mention that 4" height -- I read today that, to help combat the prevalence of clover in a lawn, that it's recommended to set the mower deck slightly higher to keep a lawn level of 3" or greater. Apparently clover won't thrive in grass left to grow slightly higher, as it's a more shallow weed. #LearnSomethingNewEachDay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will mow less because the grass will grow slower. You will have more moisture retained in the soil. And weed growth, including clover, will be greatly diminished. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have that much grass. I welcome the moss too, wherever it wants to grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest way to find a slug or two at night is to walk outside barefoot! It's pretty gross stepping on one especially when it's under your toes! And mowing, everyone mows too damn short! By August their lawns are brown and burned up. 3.5" to 4" works well and the grass thrives in all but the worst of drought which we haven't experienced in over a decade (here at least). And keep those blades properly sharpened as well. A dull blade tears off the (grass) blade rather than cutting clean which is bad too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlwx Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Just got back from my work department's annual fishing outing. Captain took us wayyyy north and we ended up right around Shell Point in the Bay. Only two striped bass for almost 3 hours. And then a brief flurry of activity once we got some distance from the traffic jam of boats up there. Got our limit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, this looks like a landspout and not a major tornado by the way he is flying. Like small waterspouts, they can have lighter winds. From Landspout - Wikipedia Landspouts are a type of tornado that forms during the growth stage of a cumulus congestus cloud by stretching boundary layer vorticity upward and into the cumulus congestus's updraft. These generally are smaller and weaker than supercell tornadoes and do not form from a mesocyclone or pre-existing rotation in the cloud. Because of this, landspouts are rarely detected by Doppler weather radar.[3] Landspouts share a strong resemblance and development process to that of waterspouts, usually taking the form of a translucent and highly laminar helical tube. "They are typically narrow, rope-like condensation funnels that form while the thunderstorm cloud is still growing and there is no rotating updraft", according to the National Weather Service.[4] Landspouts are considered tornadoes since a rapidly rotating column of air is in contact with both the surface and a cumuliform cloud. Not all landspouts are visible, and many are first sighted as debris swirling at the surface before eventually filling in with condensation and dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea.. cold air funnels, I would think, would happen in winter. Maybe it is any time that there is enough contrast in temps that it would occur.
