LOL. Tho, I love chess!
(fyi I get the reference from war games. I was greatly influenced by it)
Twilight round last night. Getting cooler down here, finally.
Shadows getting long up north. Every year someone says it's been the hottest. Well. Hands down this one has been the hottest. Add some wetness i havent gotten out too much as the tee sheet has been packed and work. Funny thing is the last month has been beautiful and I believe everyone has worn themselves out in the heat. Tee sheet has been wide open. Frost warnings last night.
I was hoping to head north for some golf and fly fishing. Not that the fish have anything to worry about but a pretty good drought is going on up there. Maybe time for the ocean
For a quick nine before dinner tonight. Leaves are a changing

From VT to ME the North Country is in drought distress with historical low flows right now 
I saw your post on Moore Reservoir. I was up there this spring and it was at capacity.From VT to ME the North Country is in drought distress with historical low flows right now
I'm surprised the trees aren't more stressed. Everything I've seen that far north is empty for streams. The Rangeley lakes don't look that bad considering.
I still need to break out my salt fly.

There have been broad areas of drought stress up north for many weeks now. Trees were turning well before their chronologic time up in our area - and not the deep color of healthy deciduous trees transitioning, but the worn out look of trees that were nutritionally challenged summer into early fall.
The Rangeley Lakes eventually drain through Middle Dam in North Oxford into the Rapid River, and that dam has been running at historic low flows the last couple of months. The operators actually picked a good year to refurb the dam because they barely need to open even one gate at this point.
Sadly, that has let the smallmouth bass from Lake Umbagog to make it all the way to the dam now. Stupid bucket biologists trick that screwed up a historic fishery. I'm just glad I got to fish it for years in the 70s and 80s when there were just the native brookies and the landlock salmon chasing alewives and blueback trout were still present in Pond-In-The-River.
This is a great resource showing stream flow data in real time. The northern band from NY through ME shows a lot of bright red gauged sites that are setting daily low flow records now. https://dashboard.waterdata.usgs.gov/app/nwd/en/?region=lower48
And there's literally zero significant precipitation in the forecast over the next 14 days at least. I may have to set up a water tank in the basement and have water trucked in if the ground freezes before there's substantial rain...
