September 24Sep 24 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. Edited September 24Sep 24 by crash_davis

October 14Oct 14 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.

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.

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.
October 14Oct 14 My sprinkler system is as fried as my "lawn". I'm in resod mode myself, although I'll probably do winter rye first.

October 15Oct 15 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'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.

October 20Oct 20 So… is this the week? I’m loving the cold front, if however short lived, but we really need a deluge…
October 20Oct 20 We haven’t had more than a half inch in one day in over 3 months and zero measurable rain in 41 days. Yay.

October 20Oct 20 Author 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.

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.

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.

October 20Oct 20 I thought I was getting hit by a shower early Sunday morning when I was leaving my neighborhood. Nope someone was watering the street.
October 22Oct 22 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
