Edmo Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 All the rain has made the bushes and flowers look real nice. Getting tired of cutting the grass every 4th or 5th day though. The boy sprained his ankle bad so I have to do it myself...D'oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 weekend was really nice until late day yesterday but this weeks weather sucks balls. although hopefully all the new plantings we put in will sprout, I ended up installing a new micro sprayer irrigation pipe with 5 heads yesterday to a spot where we have had issues with bush's not getting enough water as the lawn sprinklers don't cover the area and my drip system never came down that side of the house. Last years water ban after July 4 pretty much put an end to 2 of the 6 bushes down that side and 2 are on life support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 We had a wacky moment of weather even for an area known for extreme swings due to the "Big Lake" In about 20 minutes mid day, we dropped from high 70's to low 50's. I was outside and couldn't freaking believe it. I think the weather officially said we went from 80 to 52 from 2;55 to 3.15 in the afternoon. Wow.

Wow. we have that happen a lot where I live, I'm just about a mile from the ocean so there is days we will see that swing but drive 10 minutes inland and it's still 80. Good sometimes and sucks at others to have the water right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good sometimes and sucks at others to have the water right there. It's always like that here. I live "up on the hill" from the lake so temps are hotter in the summer and colder in the winter. But we can get in a car all summer and it be 80, then get a few miles toward the lake and it can be in the 50's or 60's. It still boggles my mind. We used to have a jeep, and after a long winter, it was great to jump in and head out for a drive, once you topped the hill and the lake was in sight, temps could drop into the 40's easily. Too funny. It was enough to turn us back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost always cool in the summer when the rest of the northeast roasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the exact opposite of what we've been having. The extended forecast is calling for a warming trend for the end of the week/wknd. It would just be nice to have a few days in a row with some sun. I've been getting withdrawals from not being able to fly my drone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
