I've been watching the line of rain slowly die off before reaching Austin. Mother nature is gonna have to no lube rape that force shield for it to reach Austin.

    I got my boy out from La Junta. As far as I can tell the whole camp got to high ground well in advance of the bad stuff and watched the camp get obliterated. My son is 8 and they took the younger kids

It's never going to rain again.  Like, for real.  Haven't had measurable rain in over 30 days in Austin.  Shit is crispy.

If it weren't for the July floods which was shitty in so many ways, imagine how bad the lakes would be right now. Every field which isn't watered is basically a light tan field of dirt with dead shit poking out of the diminishing soil.

Since July 15th we have had a total of 1.49 inches.

1.49 inches of rain in 3 months

 

and no measurable rain in 35 days

My sister lives near the airport (within city limits). I went to her house last week, it rained super hard for 90 seconds then stopped, the sun came back out and it was like it never rained aside from the puddles that remained in the potholes. Kind of crazy that blast of rain didn’t count as measurable rain.

My front yard looks like Mars.

Yeah, I'm going to have to resod in the spring.  I've put off getting a sprinkler system since it's never been much of an issue but this drought has killed off my Bermuda turf.  It's not even brown, it's blown away and it's just a dirt field.  

My sprinkler system is as fried as my "lawn".  I'm in resod mode myself, although I'll probably do winter rye first.

I dunno, man.  I prefer my bitches to have a maintained and well-trimmed lawn.

It'll be so dry you won't even need a tent.  Unless you camp way east of here. Then you'll get poured on while the rest of us continue watching our grass die.

I'm going to my first F1.  It is going to pour buckets on SE Austin.

With no rain it's easy to find leaks in my sprinkler system.

Maybe this hoodoo jinx will work, we can hope.

I'll be there too.  I've been to all of them since 2012, and we've only had rain at a couple.  2015 featured torrential downpours for most of the weekend.  Other than that, it's usually cool in the morning, cloudless and toasty in the afternoon.

 

ETA: If you have any questions or want any pointers on how to handle F1 at COTA, there's some discussion in the Other Sports forum on the F1 thread, and also some tips and talk on the COTA seems like it sucks thread.

All this talk about rain is like talking about chemtrails.

Its not real.

So… is this the week? I’m loving the cold front, if however short lived, but we really need a deluge…

We haven’t had more than a half inch in one day in over 3 months and zero measurable rain in 41 days. Yay.

But no mosquitoes,  so yay?

The fucking hell of it is, we've actually had some around our house.  No fucking idea where they are coming from.  We have a seasonal creek behind our house, and parts of it are spring fed.  I have to assume that's the source.

You all may have heard the same, but on Friday morning a guy on KUT said that so far this is the second hottest October of record, and that we've never entered October in Austin with less/fewer rain.

See, depressing shit like this is why I'm looking at ditching KUT and renewing my Sirius subscription so I can listen to that super fun "Kelly Clarkson Connection."

Hey, it's not just all bad weather on KUT, so don't quit on them.  They also cover how the Trump administration is trampling our democracy on a daily basis.

I mean, I can't even listen to Marketplace in the evening without them spending the whole broadcast trying to find diplomatic ways to say "WTF?"  Sigh.  Seriously, I should definitely listen to nothing but bubble gum pop and such, it could only help my state of mind as Texas burns, the country descends into a fascist hellscape, etc.  And don't you DARE suggest sports radio where I have to hear about Longhorn football.  That's just cruel.

Yeah, same for us… I have plenty in my backyard thanks to a good amount of standing water in portions of Waller Creek.

I think we get f'd by this particular window of weather.  (1) We had a wet enough summer that there's still water standing in the creeks, being fed very slowly by springs, etc., and (2) because it hasn't rained, that water isn't flowing, it's just standing.  Which is perfect skeeter habitat.  Some rain to move the water would help.  But more likely.....continued drought will dry up the pools eventually.

Are you repudiating free content from our friends at the Lowey Law Firm and Duck Camp?

I thought I was getting hit by a shower early Sunday morning when I was leaving my neighborhood. Nope someone was watering the street.

Haven't seen a 90% rain prediction stay at 90% throughout the week in a long time. I can haz rain? 

 

Also loving the temps at the tail end of the 10 day
