Hot Here in NE USA
Just read a weather guy who wrote this hot dry spell may cause more damage than a hurricane. I look about my place and notice no color on treesıs just a sort of malaise. Been watering by hand on things that get my attention. My small home made pond has been needing water more often. But and here is a something I've not seen before. I have two possums coming to the pond in daylight. One got caught in my leaf protection fiber fence. I freed him and with out a snarl he wandered away like drunken animal. I was thinking Rabid as I have never seen a possum here before 8:oo PM. Must be tough on our wildlife!

It finally rained early this morning, for the first time in weeks, my weather station registered .65". We need so much more! A huge catalpa tree down the street is all wilted, I've never seen anything like it. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

I thought I was going to drown getting out of the rink Saturday night. The puddles were ankle deep and on 93, the nuts were hydroplaning by me at stupid speeds. Yea, it rained like hell up in Lebanon, Maine, too. It's been plenty wet up at that house, but not down here. We ended up with .65" yesterday and another dribble of .07" today. It's supposed to rain off and on all week, but what we really need is a good daylong soaking. We're down over 5" still. I'd better go check the stuff I just moved and make sure they didn't lose all their soil.

Cheryl- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - We finally had rain here also....just not where we wanted it! The shower mixer/distributor "rained" in my wall about a week ago, and of course it ran down onto the carpet & under the vinyl...ugh!!! We did have a bit of the other "rain" on Saturday night also... |

The cold fronts used to be center of USA or slightly off center to the east when I was growing up watching the weather on TV. Now, they seem to have gone westward. The whitetail deer in the last drought here were so skinny due to lack of food. Ribs showing etc. A couple of native live oaks were killed, by what, I do not know. The buzzards like to hang out on them sometimes. The drought was 3 years long. The recovery this year has been spectacular. Can't see any long term damage other than possibly those 2 live oaks. Hope this will be the case for your region of the country in the future. Dave |

NOAA says 100% chance of rain tonight. my weather station says clear... hmmm. lee |

Oh, OK, we'll let the rain hold off for you! :o) we had a total of .75" here. NOAA says 100% chance of rain tonight. my weather station says clear... hmmm. ..80 so far this week. It's drizzling. I hope your loggers are finished soon, I was out back digging in the new part of the garden (harvesting New England Potatoes, average 40 to 50 lbs each) and it's still very dry past 6" or so. This isn't doing the trees any good at all, yet. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

my weather station says clear I forgot to ask - what kind of station do you have? Mine's a Davis Vantage Pro 2, it is fun and works well, but I still need to mount the anemometer. -- Ann, gardening in Zone 6a South of Boston, Massachusetts e-mail address is not checked ****************************** |

: Well, it poured here last night! it started raining shortly after i posted last night, but we only got .20". it was raining at .38"/hour for a while then slowed down to .13"/hour... can you tell i just got a new weather station? ;) total rainfall since Saturday is .98". i actually prefer this sort of slow rain because it doesn't cause runoff. it's slow enough to soak in. i cleaned out the shade garden area last week & put the 2 hostas, 2 of the astilbe & the 4 hellebores in. they look pretty happy. boy, were they rootbound (except the hostas because i cut the pieces out for you & a friend in WI). Boo planted one of the astilbes near the kitchen door. the soil there is really sandy, but it's shady & the daylillies didn't like it there. i ripped out the day lillies trying to take over the doorstep there & put the lady's mantle in there. i still will be pulling the lillies out between the stone steps for a while. i'm sure i missed a lot of the tubers. at least lady's mantle is lower growing & not so messy with dead flower stalks... however, it appears the slugs like it. never noticed that on my other one. lee Barnes & Noble, around 9:15 tomorrow morning? -- Question with boldness even the existence of god; because if there be one, he must more approve the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. - Thomas Jefferson |

Oregon Scientific WMR968. i need to get the cover for the temperature & humidity sensor. the heavy dews we've had lately are messing up the humidity readings. everything is solar powered with battery backup. i downloaded the software to post to Weather Underground, but i need to get a long enough USB cable to reach my desktop from the computer. the one i have has an 18" cable, which just about reaches from the USB port on the front of the computer to the top of the case. i'm not really happy with the location of my anemometer. i think i'd like to move everything up to the roof. lee |
