Typhoon Tip Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 yeah not a good sign for rain-wanters when the nam corrects s-e inside of 42 hours. particularly in the winter, that model's typically nw of all others ... then corrects s-e when in short terms - usually laughing at the storm wieners when it takes the rug and runs away. this thing looks like it's matching that corrective behavior regardless of it being 75 -80 f 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not hot and humid enough for the beach, it’s too rainy at Winni, it’s too dry for the lawn, winter sucks… 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Someone who cares about their yard and plants and tries to have it look good and trying to reseed, this is terrible and frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 In all seriousness, I’m worried about the health of my trees. The watering I’m trying to do isn’t enough to get deep into the ground. They’re all turning brown and dropping leaves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowedin Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 5 hours ago, WinterSnow said: It feels better today than it has the past many days. So glad we're finally seeing a bit of a cooldown. It feels slightly summer-ish here today with the dews coming back up. Of course it always seems to coincide with clouds and fog but we’ll take it for now. Any moisture would be a godsend at this point. The trees and grass just look awful right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The watering I’m trying to do isn’t enough to get deep into the ground. They’re all turning brown and dropping leaves. Unless they are newly planted trees, this year, I wouldn't worry... They may drop leaves a bit early but will be fine if they have become established over the past year or so. If they are recently planted, say this past spring, here is neat trick a landscaper friend showed me years ago. Buy lengths of 2 inch PVC conduit. Cut them into 2 or 3 foot sections and drill multiple quarter to half inch holes in the lower half of one side. Pound 2 or 3 pieces into the ground about 12 inches from the trunk; spaced out around trunk. Slide hose into the PVC and allow a slow but steady stream on water into the tube. I found it is best to get a 2 inch round pole like piece of wood or a metal pipe and use that to form the hole for the PVC. I've used this technique for years when needed; even for new shrubs 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got so frustrated with the rain this summer impacting so many outdoor plans, that I just cannot bring myself to then flip flop and complain about it being dry. It’s been one helluva run of weather if you love being outdoors. Hopefully you’ve got plenty of water for the sprinklers. Assuming you’re on municipal water supply? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By dropping the leaves early they save energy. Takes some mighty big stress to kill a tree. End of one season won't do it. 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just closing up shop early… try again next year type of thing. I mean we’ve had some real dry stretches in recent years… I don’t have any actual data to compare but this might be worse in an acute short time frame? But New England vegetation is very hardy… I feel like it would take a lot to actually kill mature native trees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted September is easier on the trees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

512high Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Well my problem in the short term is this..... I own an irrigation company (started in 1987), this time of the year we start to close systems down for the year. We normally start around September 12-13th like clock work, we began Monday (9/16) 45 percent of our clients are asking mid October , its been so dry and these upper 80s we have been having in Southern NH is not helping me! Based on our client list, and compressors we run, we cannot possibly get everyone done in a timely manner, so I have to tell them certain dates are booked solid, and I the owner, will work now 7 days a week into November, we are usually done this process by November 8 or 10th. Last season so much rain , they were begging us to close. I just can't remember a dry spell like this in a long time, espically a September. So in short yes I would welcome rain, and if I can't get that drop the temps very soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
