Another drier than normal year..

For southeastern New England, including eastern Massachusetts, rainfall through the end of September is 6 to 12 inches or more below normal.  The map and data should be available by clicking here.  Last year also had lower than normal amounts of rain for the growing season.  Make sure to give your ornamental trees and shrubs a good soaking drink before the ground freezes so they have plenty of moisture to help minimize winter burn.
