After a lengthy spell of dry weather, we were lucky to have rain earlier this week - and lots of it - beginning on Labor Day and continuing into the next day. Wondering how much fell? Here's the answer, below:
| Town | Precipitation (Inches) Measured on 9/6/2022 |
Precipitation (Inches) Measured on 9/7/2022 |

Rain fell for all or most of the day on Monday and Tuesday, coming to a two-day total of 2.81 inches for Westwood, 2.89 inches for Norwood, 3.83 inches for Walpole, and 3.9 inches for Millis.
The above measurements represent the average daily precipitation, as reported by observers in each town. Data represents total precipitation over the 24-hour period that immediately preceded the recording of the data.
Light rain, with a high of 77 and low of 66 degrees. Light rain for the morning, overcast overnight.
We used to spray our lawn with a company that said they used non-toxic chemicals. The loss of bees, frogs, pollinators and birds in our garden was dramatic.
Great topic! I'd love to see more from the environmental action committee on encouraging less use of pesticides/weed killers/fertilizers in town.
what a great way to encourage people to plant native, it gives me so much pleasure to see who is visiting my plants.
