Ha ha my interior is clear coat maple and I was telling my wife that the last time we were there...you only get one chance to hang something on the wall, better get the location right.

Kind of kidding, but I think @Maestrobjwa might be an Orioles bot.

Deep summer way up into Canada.

The 57 low that I had this morning is the coolest here since June 15th. Had to pull out the hose Tuesday and will probably pull it out tomorrow before the heat returns. So far I only have 0.04" of rain for the month (and that came Aug. 1st) after finishing up July with 7.22". Made it up to 84 for a high today and without all the soupy humidity, so you couldn't ask for a better past couple summer days. Currently a mostly sunny 82 with dp 56.

Warmer than here.. congrats

chilly

88/59

Yeah I have learned to accept the darkening as long as the wood is still protected. My entire house(logs) is yellow pine. White pine on the interior walls. Luckily the inside was a one and done finish. It just ambers over time, which is a nice look- just have to make sure when you hang a picture that you don't want to move it years later lol.

Looks like Iowa's leftover cloud debris screwed over the setup for the nw 2/3 of the DVN cwa. Will probably have to wait on whatever rolls in late tonight/tomorrow morning from that next round.

12Z EPS probs thru Day 10 keep it off the coast.

I'm going to have to figure this out too. Luckily for an A-frame it's mostly just roof but the ends are board and batten stained pine so I'm going to have some maintenance I'm sure. Maybe I'll just say F-it and only re-stain it every few years. The more dirty it is the more it'll blend in to the woods.

How are the Saguaro doing though?

The grass in my neighborhood is straw. Burned to a crisp.

Not bad points you make, but given the disappointment in this unexpected disastrous season, why not give the fans something NOW, instead of a few weeks from now(not sure I completely believe they will bring em up then either). What's the risk? Virtually nonexistent.

I'll be out at the cabin fri-mon so hopefully I'll escape some of the heat out there. It'll be getting toward the end of August by next weekend so I hope the July weather is in the rear view mostly for the year.

@Maestrobjwa 2023 - 21st in MLB for attendance 2024 - 19th Divisional winners, 101 wins and bottom 10 in attendance. The new ownership has some issues to contend with

If you read my post, I wasn’t referring specifically to 22-23 and 13-14. I was referring in general to the classification between cold-neutral/borderline weak La Niña and a weak La Niña

82/59 felt a little warm. That's the problem with having all the coolish weather . You get used to it.

The "look" matters. This has been a floundering franchise for almost my entire life. What a difference a year makes. Raising ticket prices and basically making you buy more games for their partial plans. That's not a good "look". Makes you almost think Angelos is back lol. I think the look does matter. Look at there attendance the last few years when they were winning. It wasn't that good considering how many games they won in 23 and 24. Compare their attendance to other teams that were winning during that time frame. It ain't great

it got hot today, wasn’t expecting 90+

82/57 another great day

Don’t mind the warmth during the winters as long as there are great snowfall outcomes. The NYC Metro first began to get these warmer and snowy winter combos back in the mid-2000s. The first half of January 2005 began at record warm levels but reversed mid-month to record cold and very snowy. Then the 2005-2006 winter started cold and snowy in December. This was followed by record warmth in January with some spots in the Midwest around +15°. Then the cold and snow returned in February with the 2nd heaviest snowstorm on record in NYC. We had a mild start to winter in 2012-2013 followed by one of the greatest February snowstorms on record from LI into SNE in February. The 2015-2016 winter stated with the +13.3 December followed by the heaviest snowstorm on record in January. The 2016-2017 winter featured 60s record warmth the day before the February blizzard and a very mild January and February. 2017-2018 winter had record cold and snow from from December into January before the record 80° warmth in February. Then the record breaking March monthly snowfall on Long Island. 2020-2021 was a milder than average winter which also turned out very snowy. We had the record warmth in December 2021 followed by the cold and snowy January especially Eastern sections of NYC Metro. January 2022 was our last cold and snowy month. So the warmth began to emerge periodically around NYC Metro while it was still very snowy. But unfortunately the warming continued while the snowfall declined over the last 7 seasons. Since the storm tracks shifted further north warming the storm tracks. Our last semblance of a colder storm track was back in January 2022. Maybe with some luck we can see at least a few months the rest of the 2020s with colder storm tracks somewhat reflecting January 2022 . Wouldn’t mind even a weaker reflection of that month with just a single KU instead of the multiple events that month. But the record Northern Stream of the Pacific Jet has been very persistent since 2018-2019 leading to the dominant storm tracks through the Great Lakes.

I disagree about the classification between the two being 'basically negligable'. 2022 started out as a (continued) moderate la nina from 2020-21/2021-22, but dissipated as the season went on (by the end of the winter, we were at an ENSO neutral). We didn't really have a dissipating la nina in 2013-14 (the la nina event dissipated in spring 2012), just a textbook cool ENSO neutral.

close but no cigar as they say of course Canada gets obliterated

Almost like a weaker reflection of last January when the coldest departures and rankings went to our south. It was the coolest first week of August in Charlotte, NC. This followed the 2nd warmest June and July.
