Never heard of Marlow.
But welcome to the site anyways. I have learned alot from this site and love it.
ya like someone else said it has been raining since april......
And the rain is about to end Weather pattern that's been plaguing us for forever now is starting to break down and move out and much of the upcoming week should be sunny and dry! Quick cold front passage sometime Monday or Tues with a shower or two but mostly nice for most all of the northeast from Sunday through most all of next week. Let's hope this pattern shift holds! Finally may have some good wood drying weather.

Got almost 3 inches in less than 90 minutes , here yesterday.
I haven't been able to cut the lawn.
If it doesn't dry up this weekend , I've got weeds in the front lawn I'll have to cut down and up for firewood.
I was watering the peach trees in June worrying about the dry conditions and the tiny peaches from a similar drought last year.
I'm surprised they haven't blown up like balloons. My tomatoes have.

My lawn has been verry green and lush this year!normally it would brown sometime in july into August.Hopefully there is a break in the pattern!but i hope its around in the winter!I do love a real winter with lots of cold and snow.
Finally, a bright sunny morning in Mass! Looks like we might get a few days of good weather. Good thing, I just had 2 cords of seasoned hardwood dumped in the driveway (and it really is seasoned! - i was worried about that). Time to get stacking.
The European long range weather models are calling for about normal temps and rainfall through the fall in the Northeast, then snowier than normal Jan and Feb in the northeast. After last winter here in NH with Concord NH missing it's all time snow record by 2", it would be unusual to have a second snowier than normal winter. NOAA long range forecasts predict warmer than normal in the northeast through mid winter, then normal temps second half of winter; continued above avg precip through Nov in northeast, then normal precip. Who do you believe? What's your guess? After all, you're guess is statistically almost as good as the long range forecasts!!stanleyjohn said:

My lawn goes snap crackle and pop when you walk on it. The only green patch is over the septic field. Supposed to reach the mid-90's today. Quite a contrast to a couple months ago, but I'll take it. Finally the tomatoes are starting to ripen.
If my track record is any indication it will be a balmy New England winter. Buy a snow blower, no snow. get an air conditioner, no heat. Spend over 4 grand on a stove, prepare 4 cords of wood, no winter.
Prometheus- first, from all of us- thanks for the fire, and sorry about the liver.
Second- I hear what you're saying, but even in a mild winter you'll get plenty of enjoyment out of a new stove!

My pleasure. Glad to help. And yeah, that liver thing. It only hurts when I laugh, which happens more often since I started hanging around this place!
While we're on the subject, was it an eagle, or a vulture? Seems to have always been different theories on that one.

Everyone knows Marlow....home of PC Connection and Mac Connection (i think)....
I thought it was a rabbit who stole fire from the weasels. That's what the people who kidnapped me from the wagon train and raised me in the wilderness taught the assembled young ones around the campfires. They called me "Small Wood". Never really understood why. Only after I was rescued and returned to white Anglo-Saxon civilization by the Cavalry did I become Rick, as I am still known today. Sometimes I miss the campfires. The wise ones were very kind to me, and taught me much. Rick
