gravitylover Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I'm so tired of saturated ground and water coming up through the basement floor and seeping through the walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossbowftw3 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Some heathy gusts this morning. Hopefully, this will be the last big wind event until next fall—barring any tropical systems that come our way. And with the exceptionally active season predicted there will be at least one bound to head our way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 The way the wind has been a steady roar for hours is kind of at odds with most of the stations around here (on WU), it seems that it should be higher than 6-9 with gusts to 13. The local mesonets are ~20/G30-35. Are most homeowner setups just too low to get decent measurements when it's like this? It sure is nice out of the wind in the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is nice out of the wind in the sun Most are too low right out of the gate and then questionable installation locations. Throw in there trees/bushes, other buildings and it’s tough to get decent wind readings from a PWS. I have my anemometer mounted about 10 feet higher up a pole that the station itself but it’s still well below 30’ and while it’s in an open spot in the yard it’s a lower spot overall and there are still plenty of trees around. Had a couple gusts to 29mph here this morning which is right up there with some of the highest I’ve recorded here. KMGJ had a few gusts to 47mph this morning, still into the 30s and 40s now this afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only able to visit and couldn’t get help. I would request a password reset, put in my address and screen name and one or the other wouldn’t be recognized. My daughter, heaven bless her, asked me how the forum was doing, hearing my situation and not being able to contact Admins for help, she said she would get an account so that I could use it to contact the Administrators for help with mine. Today the reset request worked. This whole mess had to be something I did. My problem now is trying to figure out what it was so I don’t do it again. Im happy to be back. Firum withdrawal symptoms at my age are distinctly unpleasant. Thank you for asking ….. and …. As always 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 As nice as these days have been my driveway is still wet and the sides are still soggy, not to the point where water comes up around your shoes when you step on it but it still squishes. Someday my neighbors will move and I can cut the thicket down so the sun and wind can get to the ground. Until then as long as this wet regime hangs around I guess I'll just watch the moss grow and crumble the terminally soggy pavement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have close to zero motivation to grow anything at this point Right? I was looking at the garden area today and started cleaning up but kept sinking into mildewy ickiness. I'll probably just do hanging stuff with fresh soil this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I can't deal with another wet weekend It's really gonna suck if it's as wet as some of the models are showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishcast_hater Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I can't deal with another wet weekend It's really gonna suck if it's as wet as some of the models are showing. I’m tired of these record rains we have been having. I just replaced my sump pump and installed a silent check valve in my basement, so I guess this will be the chance to test it. Hopefully it works out. Unfortunately I have to work Friday night into Saturday at the wastewater treatment plant and rain especially the amount being forecast means a rough night for all of us, hopefully the heavy stuff comes after 7 am. .

Hitman Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 I went up to vt to catch the snow. On the way back this evening along the taconic from Chatham down almost to Jackson corners rd was totally glazed with ice. Everything encased. Quite magnificent in the light from the sun going down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Are any of you folks chasing the eclipse? I have a few days carved out on either side so I can travel just about wherever it's clear along the centerline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylover Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I'm going to point it towards the clearest area within 8-10 hours. I'll leave here the night before and drive overnight so I get wherever by sunrise to avoid the worst traffic and find a place to park. As long as there's cold beer and a bathroom I'm good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
