The weather's gotten so bad lately that I'm finding a half inch of rain to be nothing much, really, even when dumped in half an hour.

At least we get sunny on Friday and stay that way for a while, with almost-normal (but still warm) temperatures...

At least there's more due overnight and into tomorrow, so you get a second chance at it.

Regrettably, only our Northeastern friends have a chance with this storm.

0.75" of rain with it mostly over, or not exactly a deluge. Not that we needed it, I checked the soil yesterday and it was still pretty damp, but it won't do any harm. At least it watered in my Milorganite.

Or, close to 8" of rain so far for September, almost twice normal for the whole month.

Lucky you...five days post Lee, I slipped in mud in one part of the yard. It's where the uphill water drains down and it'll be wet for at least another week now.

Just post the storm, the entire lawn felt unstable. All the soil had turned to mud and the only thing holding it together was its own weight and the grass roots.

That is one advantage. My irrigation system has had minimal use this year, and doesn't look like it'll need use more than once in September if the weather is correct and we now get a two week dry period.

While I'm glad I'm not renovating this year--the rain was ridiculous through that period--it's not a horrible year to do so. Stinking hot and dry presents plenty of challenges, and that's what I dealt with.

Tell me about it. At least the forecast has the weather changing to a more-normal September pattern for the next few weeks, at least. If a bit warm, but that's workable.

You folks have lawns starving for water, ours are drowning in it (literally). Some years you just can't win.

Typical in summer--except for a good wide rainfall, I almost always disagree with the airport. Sometimes by quite a lot!
