Pass. Drought this mother ****** up again.
Give me a moderate drought over excess moisture every GD year.
I like green lawns. Get me enough water for that and I’m good.
I like a dead brown lawn in August, because I don't have to mow it.
Winner. Only crappy thing is I had to wait till right before the first frost to plant native grasses. Otherwise I could care less if the grass goes dormant. It will come back. Has for millions of years.
I feel they overlap with the "bad at math" group on the Venn diagram.
I don't think moderate droughts make a pond lose 1' of water in one summer.
I am all for it being dry but when my ponds start to lose water like it did last summer I don't like it.
Getting out of the house once a week won’t kill you
I spend my summer free time mountain biking, road biking, kayaking, hiking, grilling, etc. I'm hardly ever in the house that time of year, I just like not having the obligation of needing to get the lawn mowed.
And we have a Joe Blow's even on CF. Just look back to earlier in this thread with the Jan storm. Several people declaring it a dud after the initial morning wave only gave a dusting and then it walloped us over night. If they had bothered to actually read they would have saw that was exactly what was predicted.
I look forward to mowing the lawn. It's 1 hour a week of me time and outside.
Snow won’t do all that much to replenish a pond. I do wonder what type of pattern we will see this spring. This winter has been weird with the snow events. We’ve pretty much just had 2 snow events all winter. Most winters you at least see those small clippers intermixed and other small systems, but not this year.
