It's overflowed 4 times this year, we've had to set up a permanent pump to keep it down so it doesn't chew out one of the walls. The coming drought will suuuccccckkkkkkk (or this is new normal, who knows)

There's a smoldering wildfire about 40 miles from me that isn't contained at all, and I'm trying not to think about what's going to happen with two more dry, hot weeks.

I waited so long for the soil to warm up to germination temperature that I didn't think there was enough growing season left. Environment Canada has downgraded their prediction for the east coast of the island from 60% chance of showers on Monday to 40%. I'm going to assume that's actually 0% at this point. If we do get rain it will probably be another of those "leave circular marks in the dust" events.

That's 40% of the forecast area predicted to get rained on, not that you individually have a 4-in-10 chance of receiving rain

Rain chances are point probabilities, it has zero to do with aerial coverage. A 40% chance of rain does in fact mean, if you had ten setups with similar conditions it would rain in four of them.

Failson, if you can’t be sincere in the weather thread I’m not sure you could be sincere anywhere And yeah the bottom line is I want it to start raining again so we can watch everyone realize they’ve forgotten how to drive in rain over the summer

I waited so long for the soil to warm up to germination temperature that I didn't think there was enough growing season left. theres a field of corn ive driven past every week for months and not a single ear on any of the stalks. they're drying out now so im guessing the whole field was a loss and they've stopped watering it
