The second half of the weekend should be peaceful, the first half not so much. Finally returning to Mount Snow for a guys weekend at their Brewfest tomorrow, heading up in about hour. So the next 48-52 hours won’t peaceful necessarily but certainly enjoyable! Thank you Rob. It’s that 48-52 that will keep you young and the missus happy when you return.

Juliancolton Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I think tomorrow would have been POU's 66th consecutive 80+ day if it hadn't topped out at 79 on 8/22. Annoys me to no end, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishRob17 Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 On the way back from Brewfest I snapped this at the old Dutchess Mall in Fishkill. Looks like we finally get a decent soaking but it’s too late for these trees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we finally get a decent soaking but it’s too late for these trees Good afternoon Rob. What a sad sight after a wonderful 48-52. We can only hope that those trees have gone dormant. That, unfortunately, will not guarantee their return or cold season survival. Stay well, as always …. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like we finally get a decent soaking but it’s too late for these trees This drought was likely the final blow for much of the forest there after several years of ash borer and hemlock adelgid havoc. Plenty of fuel for the next time a train's brakes get a bit too hot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Epic drenching on the GFS. We take, but we lament that mowing will resume in earnest before winter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 ^^Hey neighbor. Yup nothing here too. I just got back from another run across the state and the difference between the dry eastern half and WNY is dramatic. Around I81 it starts to green up and west of I390 it's almost normal. There are whole hillsides of bare trees and big brown sections where the trees didn't even bother dropping their leaves before dying or going dormant. IMO the fire danger is being badly underrated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Look at the boundary right now. I know it's supposed to drop but I'm not gonna hold my breath. Thankfully it looks like the places that grow food are getting a nice soaking today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 It actually did rain pretty hard for 4 minutes, I timed it. The high spot in the street is already drying after steaming for a few minutes. Yeah, I see some crazy numbers and I'm sorta hoping it's not like that. So much is hardpan and it will run off pretty fast, the savior might be how slowly it's starting. This little initial burst may moisten the surface just enough to help avert disaster but if the streams and piles of debris in my yard from one shower mean anything there's a lot of shit that will move right away. I still think this will be a Dutchess/Columbia/Berkshire Counties jackpot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
