HEAT!!!

[RobertBrown]

Welcome to my nightmare, I have been seeing triple digit temperatures for 12 weeks. If not for tropical storm Debbie, we would be in dyer straights here again.....7 out of the last 10 years with below average rainfall. 4 years ago we had unprecedented drought conditions.
Loosing your grass is hard to deal with but if it gets bad you will see trees start to go as the water table drops. It begins to get stressful when the lack of rain kills trees that have been standing for over a hundred years. Soon you will have wildfires popping up.
We have had very little rain since the storm so it's not unlikely for the drought to continue and this is the rainy season.
Todays high is 92, tomorrows is 97.

I can't help but feel for you folks that aren't accustomed to the heat and drought.

But after 70 years of it I've decided just to quit bitchen about the 102° to 112° day after day with no rain and wait for October, my favorite month of the year. :thumbsup:

Here in central NY its the same problim. Its been in the 90's without any rain and all the lawns are brown. The only thing that is growing in my lawn is the weeds.

Same with me! Our "grass" is one of the greenest because the weeds are still flourishing, and we have tons of them!!

If the weather has been that way for 70 years......it's not a drought, it's summer time, part of the climate, if you will.
If you don't like that weather you should move.

Why in the world would I want to move when I live in the best place in the USA. As far as the lawn goes when its brown I don't hve to mow it and one thing for sure it will be green in a few weeks when it rains.

And plus there are not many more places to go to avoid droughts when you already live in the north!
