Frequently asked questions
A kettle pond has no outlet. Does December rain still reach a crawl a mile from the Sound?
Yes, from the rim, not from spray. Ponds with no outlet sit in the moraine and rise with December's 5.61 inches. A crawlspace on that rim takes groundwater from the kettle. The beach is a different job, on peat and tide; mixing the two wastes the diagnosis.
Why is a Hyannis crawl wet after a fair week in December?
The peat under the marsh does not wait on a storm. Tidal groundwater stays high, and a cottage over that ground is in a wet climate even when the sky is clear. Shutting the vents against Cape cold then traps what the table is already adding. That is marsh hydrology, not a kettle.
These were summer places. What breaks when someone lives in them through December?
The crawl was sized for July. Thin walls, vents, and a 1978 assembly do not handle a 5.61 inch December on a high table. Occupying them year-round without drying that crawl is how the smell starts, and December is when it starts.
