All Activity

Showers were nearby today and mostly cloudy skies held my temperature in the low 80's. It sure looks like the Eastern trough will become active into the end of July. I'll take a mid summer pattern like that offering rain chances nothing too hot any day!

Shows up good on BOX radar

Same here Parks are crowded

Winds picked up off the Lake this aftrn, and the smoke has just gotten thicker.

I may have shared this story, but I was in Singapore in June of 2014. It was over 400 and it was about day three where I was about to lose it, but fortunately it cleared in the span of an afternoon. Indonesia loves to burn their jungles to create fertile land.

Creepy orange sunset.

It was a nothing burger for wind and lightning. We did get 0.35 inches of rain... gladly accept.

I stepped outside for 2 minutes and eyes burning and started sneezing

Man heavy heavy smoke at ground level now. Outside in it and man does it smell and feel nice

they will find out if they have undiagnosed asthma the longer they keep playing that is usually how you experience your first symptoms that requires treatment age doesn't matter

MLS game between Vancouver and Chicago (to be played at Soldier Field) postponed this evening.

Latest CFS runs still going Giga for late winter. Typically when we have the highest probability of a major east coast winter storm during a Nino.

just amazing that no matter the weather at least half of the local pickleball courts have people on them. the air is cancer what are you people doing

Was thinking whole house ATS for simplicity Kids in multiple rooms, refrigerators, hot water, internet…

Outside of natural causes, the natives historically have set fires regularly to manage forests. Not just in NA, but in AUS, too, (and probably elsewhere) they stayed on top of these things. Now the forests are just full of fuel making fires so much worse. Since these fires are so close to us, and there are many small ones combined with the bigger ones over the border, these fires are all adding their smokes together, and we are getting the brunt of the surface smokes.

Absolute gangbusters there. Should've made the drive down.

Are you looking to provide backup power for your entire home or just dedicated circuits that keep the critical stuff running? ATS’s can get pricy if your looking for a whole house backup.

Love the 60's.

Smoky early evening:

For now this is 2023 level here on si.

Generac are the way to go.

"and the mornin sun is shinin like a red rubber ball..." ah, the 60s.....i guess they were on acid when they wrote the song....

As this is the 3rd time this week / 5th time this year we’ve lost power in our neighborhood (powered by Eversource, outages all courtesy of low hanging wires and questionable pole infrastructure), I’m looking into a backup home generator Ideally connected to gas line and automatically turning on when power is out Any recommendations? I hear Kuhlman Electric ads for Generac all the time and seems good I figured this forum would have tons of experience with severe / blizzards TIA!
