Record broken...

A new record here in Charlotte, the old record of 40 days without rain back in the late 1800's has been broken. It's been 41 day's and not a drop of rain, now the mountians are burning and the leaf fall is not helping. Here is a photo of Charlotte taken TODAY, the smoke from the mountians is so thick here it looks like a rainy, overcast day!

Well they are changing the photo, it's not quite that dark turing the day.

 

Looks like midnight in that picture. How are the lawns holding up?

 

All mine have gone dormant.Its mostly leaves
now.Everything is hardened off.Mabe cold winter.

 

Dry as a bone here also. Doing leaf removal is one dusty job. A little rain would be nice.

 

Well, just after posting this my wife called on the NExtel and said it was raining. We had a little drizzle so we'll see what happens. The lawns that have been watered or have irrigation are doing ok, the others...well...crunch crunch.
