The science behind why rain has that pungent smell at times ...
"Several inches of rain could fall in the next week."
"About half of New York state is inching toward a drought, according to today's U.S. Drought Monitor weekly report. About 45 percent of the state is "abnormally dry," the category before "moderate drought." Just over 4 million people live in that area. Most of Upstate New York will likely get an inch of rain through next Tuesday, according to the Weather Prediction Center."
With only three weekends left to Memorial Day Weekend, I have to think about where I want to go camping during that long weekend. In recent years I’ve not gone so far from home, just because the black flies are often intense during Memorial Day Weekend, and it can be quite cold and rainy. Here is where I’ve gone in recent years.
This year, I camped at Green Mountain National Forest. I ended up heading home on Sunday because it was increadibly wet and humid, π§ and the black flies were atrocious. π Went for a paddle on Grout Pond on Sunday.π
Hot but sunny this year. One morning was foggy. Did a fair bit of swimming at the beach on Grout Pond.π Bugs were bad but overall it was a pretty good trip, quiet because at this point Kelley Stand Road was still closed so I had to go via back way up to this campsite.πΊπΈ
Camped on the North Lake Reservior this year.π₯ It was a bit crowded and hot, and the motor boats on the lake were a bit annoying at time. Met some interesting people from outside of Lowville, drunk beer with them late one evening.πΊ
In 2014 I spent Memorial Day Weekend out in Madison County. π£I camped at the Cherry Ridge Campground at Charles Baker State Forest, hiked part of the Cazenovia-Canastota Trailway, and did some fishing down at Nelson swamp.π
The first two days at Moose River Plains in Memorial Day Weekend 2013 was a frigid, cold rain. π’It got better for the last two days, one of which I hiked up Black Bear Mountain and the other I hiked out to Ferg’s Bog. I also did some fishing in the Moose River.π
In 2012, I spent Memorial Day Weekend camping at Piseco-Powley Road. π It was a nice weekend, not particularly muddy although hiking back to Big Alder Bed I decided to turn around, as it looked like a torrent trying to cross the East Branch right at the outflow of the Sacanadaga River.π¦
