Weekend Rain

Take cover, stay safe

 

The rains brought the level up considerably, the Pemi has had 50% of the river bed dry over the last week or two. When we came down Sunday it was flowing from bank to bank with no exposed river bed. The Ammonusuc has been real low and slow, and that flow picked up quite a bit. all the brooks coming down off the presidentials were roaring, you could hear them a ways a way. I didn't go down thru Crawford Notch, but I would say it's a safe bet that the Saco came up quite a bit as well.

 

Been raining an hour, chit about to hit the in a while

 

Surprised about the rivers up there running so well. Even after the rain we got the rivers, streams and swamps are still really low. Good for the north country anyway

 

It poured for parts of the weekend up by Mt. Washington, even the camp road itself was like a small river.

 

I got 4+" Saturday late afternoon into the night and the swamp next door swallowed it all up and didn't leave a bit of water to be seen above ground by Sunday morning. The culvert it drains to for crossing the road isn't moving anything either.

 

I'll bet it got soaked right up, I sure could use something like 4" of rain. The positive side of the drought, hardly any skeeters.

 

Rains have finally been returning here too. Since the cold front started moving in last Thursday, its rained overnight every night, with some daytime cloud bursts 2 or 3 of those days. Had some decent rain this morning and it's been drizzling all day.

I'll take it - my trees needed it bad. I had 5 or 6 younger 'volunteer' red pines succumb this year to a combination of the drought, and beetles, I think. Quite a few leaves falling a little on the early side too.

 

It's been raining since before I made the C8H10N4O2, nothing hard just a very soft rain.

We'll see what the rain gauge says at 4, this afternoon and tonight the heavy rains move in. I think they had forecast 1.5 inches of rain (the high end) for today.

 

Got about 2 1/2" not raining now, suppose to get some more .
Grass looks better

We bought this rain gauge today (Mrs. Backwoods Savage you better get yours out) so we missed about 6 hours of rain, since 11 this afternoon we received just over 0.25 inches of rain.
Shop AcuRite Rain Gauge at Lowes.com

It's starting to rain harder so we'll see how much we get overnight.

 

It's not bad but for just under 13, I won't expect much.

 

We are getting a real soaking today. Off and on. Good down pour with some wind right now.
