A Little ... Very Little Rain

We could sure use some rain in New York City. So far this month we've only seen about one-third of an inch of rain. We should have had around two inches so far in August, so we are running low. Today most of the rain passes to the South and East of the city. In New York City we will be lucky to get a quarter-of-an inch.

So far this dry weather is starting to push the trees towards Fall a little early. During abnormally dry periods (like we have seen this summer) the trees will push their sap down early and attempt to go dormant as a means of survival. So this year, don't be surprised to see the colors come early to the Northeast. Also, the peak colors will not last as long this year as the leaf drop usually occurs rather quickly.

Personal note... I am leaving for vacation this afternoon and will be back in a week. Joe Punday will be running the blog all alone. :(
