powderfreak Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 18 minutes ago, Damage In Tolland said: Why does that start in Oct? Why not Jan-Dec? What is that number? The official water year runs October 1st to September 30. It's the officially recognized dates for tracking yearly water totals. USDA, USGS, and most folks use it for planning purposes, reservoirs, and agriculture. The warm season ends the water year, "calendar" flips as vegetation starts to go dormant. CoCoRAHS has this: While the definition may vary regionally, a common definition of "water year" is October 1 through September 30th. In the cool months, evaporation rates are very low, snow accumulates in cold regions, storms tend to be widespread, and most areas see accumulation of moisture in the soil. Then comes spring with it's accompanying snow melt and high runoff from mountainous regions and higher latitudes. The summer months bring high evaporation rates. Precipitation (much from thunderstorms) becomes much more localized. Soil moisture may be gradually depleted during summer as vegetation uses large volumes of water. Streams run slower and clearer. https://www.cocorahs.org/wateryearsummary/ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 BOSTON has had over 40 inches of precip in 2023. You all are definitely in for a very very snowy winter. It WILL eclipse 2014-2015. Nino will load you up with moisture then dump it as extremely deep snow. You better get your Jebman Shovels NOW! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Got some bad news on our little dog today. She’s been having swelling and drainage from her jaw. Vet thinks it’s a mass, most likely cancer. Going to treat the infection with a follow up in a week to see if they can get a better look and run some more testing to confirm. Hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst, unfortunately 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Kind of a weird question. I had a pinhole leak in my rear tire (was losing like 8-10 psi every 10 days or so) and I finally took it to have it looked at. It was a tiny piece of metal wire stuck into the tire. They plugged the tiny hole, and sent me on my way. Is there any reason this won’t last? I know if the whole is bigger, they recommend a plug and patch, but it was tiny. I drive a ton, and don’t feel like having my tire explode or go flat on the highway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have been more clear, they did have to enlarge it a bit to get the plug situated, but the actual damage to the tire was so minimal in the first place because the hole was so small. The guy actually had trouble finding where it was leaking from. I called my father and he said when he was growing up, there was no “patch and plug” it was always just a plug and always worked fine if the hole was from a nail or something like that. As long as the tire wasn’t gashed open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
