It's coming , here, and not much stopping things now..MUD season. We hit 50 today ,the puddles are deep and runoff heavy.
I know its wishful thinking but hopefully a slow melt without any rain and I can get 4 more weeks on the ice before the workload begins. She's already saying a poured sidewalk in in order.

5.6 inches a couple of days ago here.

We are very close to our first 24 hour period in 13 days without rain. Mostly heavy.
It's the usual hot and 80% humidity so I'm not thinking it wont stick as more rain predicted foreseeable future.
Our trout and tributaries are over the banks into mild flooding. The mighty muddy Hudson is at capacity.

Pretty much writing my vegetables off this season as their very leafy but few blossoms.
The garlic is drying not to my liking with the humidity even with fans on them.
Pigs are a mess and with first dry spell to enter the pen, their in the freezer at 240-50.

Yeah its floodin here in upstate NY

Well we just got 2 inches of rain in about 1/2 hour............

Just got a hurricane emergency on my phone- Here in Ct so near the coast it says we are gonna clobbered.

Usually there is a big scare report then a different reality-- NOT now- we are dead center of the path bout 6 to 8 miles in from the sound in northern New Haven County.

Things changed while I slept- its now a tropical storm and not hitting me directly but the center has moved more towards the Ct   RI border in the Westerly  RI area.
Still gonna be a big rain and wind event here for a day or so.

Now its back in central Ct and getting weak  over my Youngest sons house right now bout 40 miles East.
I mean radar shows RIGHT OVER his house.
Then it takes a hard East turn and off to Boston area.

They have shut down oneida lake it is 3 plus foot higher than it was a week ago. Good news no real rain on weekend, maybe some today

I saw a report about an hour ago saying Binghamton got 14" of snow.  Old man winter doesn't want to go quietly.
 

Honest... the jokes over. Should I just scrap the garden plans and build an ark? If I see squirrels, raccoons and bunnies lining up in my driveway, by 2s, I'll let yinz know.

lol....give it a whirl, what'd got to lose?   just keep flagging...maybe admins will finally ban "alice".....but, "she" isn't talkin' politics so probably all good.....

Ct Governor declared an official drought statewide

Need it here as well.....my garden and flower beds are fine....but my pool, my poor pool....I don't want to have to feed it water but it's getting close!  Lawn....well, having to cut the grass less is an unintended blessing...

Good luck to all you   in landers--guess its supposed to be mainly a rain event and then cold here along the coast
 
ended up with a very little rain and a moderate wind for a bit==pretty much over now.
Wayyy overhyped around here
