The "D" word.

Re: The \"D\" word.

Quite a few folks in this area have been cutting their second (and final) cutting of hay in the past two weeks, but it's very poor quality hay because of the lack of rain.

Re: The \"D\" word.

In the San Francisco Bay area (a relatively dry place to begin with), the current rainfall totals are especially low. I heard the weather guy on the radio the other day saying that San Jose is at 15% of normal for this year (rainfall year runs June-June). This in a place that only gets about 13" in a good year. Needless to say, things are very dry.

NE Connecticut is very dry, most of the ponds and rivers are way down. Some people in my town who have dug wells are having problems. On the upside blowing the leaves into the woods is a piece of cake.

Yep, GlueGuy --

Just heard the "D" word on the Bay Area news this afternoon. If it ain't one thing, it's another. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

And here I wanted to test my culverts. /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

I think we have been getting all your share of rain over here in the Highlands of Scotland. There have only been a few dry days all year /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif. We have been up here for seven years now and it has been the wettest so far. Still, got to keep all those lochs topped up.

Andyfr,

Please send some of the moisture our way. Be more than happy to take it from you. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Scotland? Wow! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif This board has quite a reach.

I realize you've been with us for a while, Andy, but I seem to have overlooked where you are. Love to hear more from you. And of course pictures would be a bonus. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Maybe you could take some snapshots of what you plan to work on with your tractor when you get it. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Re: The \"D\" word.

I have recently bought a scanner - no digital camera yet as I am waiting for the quality/price ratio to even out a bit - so I will post some photos sometime soon when I get the time to scan them in. I may even have a photo somewhere of Loch Ness which is not far from where we live. You will see where all the rain ends up /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.
