I mowed Friday after work and I should have mowed yesterday. We are still not super dry from the rains earlier in the month but if I did not water the plants in pots and the ground, daily, they would be gone in 2-3 days. 9 days without rain now. By far the longest stretch here since last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drought map is not just recent rains vs. soil moisture and stream flows over a long period of time. Your area has still not recovered from the dry summer though, as you alluded to, this is the weakest of all drought classification to be in.

Itstrainingtime Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I can't recall the last time that I didn't HAVE to mow in November. I don't think I've mowed after Thanksgiving save for my "snow mows". Having said that, right now I'm mowing about every 5-6 days. Until the last 7 days I've gotten just enough rain timed that I've had to keep mowing with some consistency. But, things are rapidly drying out in my area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of these differences could depend on amount of sun re: all of our veggies get a lot. If it does not rain ever 2-3 days, it is watering time. Going double digit days with no rain has only happened once in the last 4 years (until now) when I went a good 20+ days with no rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 i don't remember what year, but Christmas eve was pretty warm. We were in the "eggnog" early, so i broke out my John Deere and mowed, shorts/t-shirt. People were driving by laughing I did it just to say i did Later that evening i went to the family Christmas party wearing my swim trunks and Hawaiian Leis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my garden is full sun. And your timing is right, last week after it rained I didn't need to water the following day, but the day after that it was drying out quickly. I've watered every day since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubbler86 Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 While looking for the year of the Sauss Hawaiian Christmas party, I noticed the MDT Christmas High Record of 66 set in 1889. Turns out that is the oldest record in their books. I find it interesting that the Christmas MDT High Temp record is the oldest record the station has. It also hit 66 on Dec 26th, 1889 which is also a record. Wonder if those wankers were complaining about global warming over the 1889 Christmas table? Note the period of record for MDT is: 1888-07-01 to 2022-09-19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I evacuated Bradenton for Irma in 2017, changed course at the last moment, and the water in Tampa Bay pulled back into/toward the Gulf. People were walking in the bay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
