Too cold to use the pool over the last week or so.

Also looking into getting rain gutters this summer before el nino really brings it.

Why didn't your house have gutters?

Yup. They're being encouraged now to capture the roof runoff in sealed rain barrels to water plants. I think it's a pretty good idea.

I've already replaced all of my grass with desert xeriscape and it looks pretty great. Almost no watering and super easy to take care of.

The previous owner of my house has landscape fabric under a bunch of lava rock. Kansas weeds rough ridin' love it and it seems to super charge their ability to make me hate them.

i don't think it stands up to the test of good growing conditions. but most of the year is too dry to get any weeds going anyways. they do probably have spray every so often as well.

Does any body else have trouble with grasshoppers this year. They gnawed my maters to the stem. Maybe something to this climate change - first beserk skeeters who are part alligator, and now these bastards.

Frankenklein · « **Reply #1436 on:** July 18, 2015, 04:27:58 PM »

Thats sounds more like a common old plague of hoppers...nothing to do with global warming

Interesting. Funny coincidence my BIL just moved from SF to Eagle Rock and is doing the rain barrels today. Small world

that was actually quite interesting.

It's been talked about for years and walks hand in hand with poor siting of weather stations.

they modeled the effect based on % impermeable land, they weren't describing the effect as a new discovery. good grief, dax.

I never claimed it was a new discovery. Good gawd sys :facepalm.

Thus the sarcasm on WUWT.

Open the door and windows and let the ac out. Make mountains of ice cube. The sky is falling according to the climate chickinshifitzers. Obama says are health will go to hell. Australia scientists say it causes transgenders in species. A US Congresswoman from CA said it will cause women to become whores. And Al, Butrock, and Bill the Thrill get rich pushing crock science.

The wonders of modern technology edn.

The UHE and mitigating and/or amplifying factors of various surfaces in urban settings have long been pointed out by those who studied weather station siting. The fact that NASA is doing what amounts to 7th grade science projects is what is being lampooned.
