North Georgia (Macon northward) always prays that the hurricanes hit Florida, because one third of our rain fall comes from the rains that come after the hurricane has hit Florida, and the rain bands continue north.
Of course, we get bits and pieces of Floridians coming down with the rain, but that is mostly just fertilizer. |

We used to enjoy the remnants of hurricanes that blew us warm wet weather in the fall. No Floridians left in those stormy dregs. But once you've had landfall at hurricane force, it's never the same. Humberto will be passing south of us this evening, we'll see about Jerry next week.
Nice and warm here this evening I must say! This garden friend seemed to enjoy it. |

I can't imagine that.

If it would have been snow it would have been around 35 feet.

It's raining up here now, north Texas area. Not real hard, but it seems to be in "wave" form, and the thunder is growling lot. The thunder is the very low, deep tones, feel-it-in-your-bones sort and Ms Piggy is sticking close so she must not like it a lot.
I'm almost cold in the 70's here!!

And it's dry as a bone here and the weatherman said tonight no rain in sight. Scott's right; falls are dry here except when the occasional hurricane comes up through the Florida panhandle and cries over us a bit. Maybe Jerry will cooperate.

several days of warm weather here are doing the trick for the tomatoes encouraging them to ripen up. temps have been in the 70s, warm for us in the latter part of september. fall colors are beginning to show. getting some rain, but not too bad.

Pretty nice here, little too dry the last couple months. It was good for tomatoes, great flavor from most. Too hot the last few days. I put a good watering to everything the other day before the heat came back and I'm thinking another good round of okra is on the way for next week.
42 inches. I can't imagine that. I don't see how it could possibly happen here, but I didn't think we could get 6" in just a couple hours, either. |

I'm a Dfc destined to become a Dfb and then a Cfb. What does any of that mean?

Still no rain. Dry as a bone here and no end in sight. Looks bad for fall. We had a few days where it cooled down but that is now over and mid to upper 90s forecast as far into the future as they will predict and it is no rain and continuing high temps.
I am almost ready to throw in the towel. This having to water almost every spare minute that it isn't above 90 is getting very old and very expensive just for some bell peppers, a few tomatoes and some fall cucumbers. The beds that need preparing are so dry that I will need a rain or lots of watering to get the soil moist and soft enough to work it up. I have to dig each bed out both spring and fall due to tree roots. If I skip one season the digging is too much for an old guy with arthritis. The peanut farmers around here are having to stop plowing them up because the ground is so dry and hard. Bill |

Mid 90's in the long range forecast and occasional showers here and there.
For some reason I dont think we will have a kill back winter this year but I will probably eat my words. Not because it is so hot now it is because we have had kill back winters for the past few years. We are due for a non kill back winter big time. |

I was at the farm on the weekend, harvesting potatoes, peas and oats. There's corn in the field, some squash, sunflowers just recently in bloom, tons of beets. Everything is late because of the cold season, but S. told me she didn't turn the water on all summer. The tomatoes and cukes in the greenhouse got watered from rain barrels and a watering can - everything else has been aok on rain alone. A wet year even by local standards.
Just now we are expecting a 30 hour rain event to start this evening, supplied in part by moisture from Jerry although he won't be close enough to drive the wind. Along with last night's rain and today's showers, we may end up with a total of about 40 mm for the two days. That is no more than a nice soaking. |
