Message: [QUOTE="ClifSpliffy, post: 4374993, member: 9260"] 3/3/22 [I]'last week, that big low pressure rolling in our direction was fun to track. typically in olden days late feb, one of those would run off the coast (a noreaster), or slightly west of there. this one was 86skidoo'n north by the time it hit New York state. the hot Atlantic Ocean continues to push the cold line, Serah Williams to ne, further nw each passing winter. what would it bring where i live?'[/I] followed by many musings on how dry it is. 8/27/22 [URL="https://www.audacy.com/wtic/news/local/new-london-and-windham-counties-named"]Two Connecticut Counties labeled primary natural disaster areas[/URL] mmkay. aboot 10 days or so ago, i was pointing to the sky, to my neighbor fishboy. 'ya see that? that's a Deep River hail cloud pattern. odd, since it's most common in spring. it's why folks around here, when noticing a car pock-marked with hail dings, say 'must be from Deep River.' unlike many others in Connecticut that day, we had a 1 or 2 inch downpour. then, a few days back, same pattern in the sky. again, unlike many others in Connecticut that day, couple inches crashed down. awesome, cuz the produce was just hanging on, but clearly showing signs that, if real rain comes, it was ready to [I]explode [/I]in round two of production. it did. irrigation ain't rain. nothing replaces rain. cuke flowers, pepper flowers, baby lopes and melons and flowers, all of it. it didn't change my opinion of, broadly, no rain for at least a few more weeks, but it did remind me that, at times, precip can be a highly localized event in our state. mebbe the pattern, here, at my house, was changing? need to see more. couple of days ago, the tv was full of 'doom, decay, and destruction!' with their nonsense on the power of the storm coming Friday. massive winds! tornado watches! epic downpours! didn't feel right to me, as neither the humidity nor the northwest wind said anything aboot my Friday or today plans, other than 'no need to cancel anything.' clouds showed no Deep River hail pattern, either yesterday or today. no rain. after the large amount of initial bottom rot on the beefsteaks, they're all coming in lovely now, albeit small. green peppers aren't making it to thick walled this season. i thought that i was some kind of watermelon genius with the amount (like everything, smaller in size) and [I]taste [/I]of them, but it has nothing to do with me, and everything to do with the weather this season, as, [I]universally, [/I]everyone sez 'dang, the watermelon is tasty this year.' regular, run of the mill store wattys, and peaches, taste [I]outstanding.[/I] everything can't be all bad, except for the prices they're getting for the wattys. [I]expensive. [/I]regardless, eat it, it's good for you. i really really like fresh, in season, local wattys, peaches, and lopes. oh well, 2 out of three ain't bad. [/QUOTE]
